Hi all,I'm MrTed,I'm here hoping to meet some people,share some photos,and learn from those willing to give up some secrets.I've had a camera around most of my life,But recently I've been trying to take it to the next level. I'm from S.E. Pa., I'm 43 and counting.I'm a foreman for a local commercial concrete company.I also love to sketch....by hand...with real paper!!!(lol), I work in graphite pencils and pen & inks. I dont consider myself a photographer,just someone who likes cameras and taking pictures. I seldom go out to take a picture that i hope to hang on the wall. But now and then one or two will make me say "hey that one came out good". (Even a blind squirrel will find a nut now and then lol.) I'm happily married to a great lil woman. If ever there's a woman in one of my pics...most likely it's her. I'm a bit shy about asking a strainge woman to pose for me. she may think I'm a perv or something lol. My first Digi Cam was a Nikon coolpix 800. My early gallery shots cam from this cam. Then I upgraded to the Minolta Dimage A1. The rest of the gallery comes from that camera. *Enough for now*
