Smile Introducing...ME. (please read) :o)
Hi, new to the forum but have been reading and learning from all of the wonderful people here for about 3 weeks.

I began shooting with a Canon T50. Moved to an HP point and shoot in 2003. Bought a Canon A620 in 2005 or 2006...can't really remember. In 2007 I bought my first DSLR; the Rebel xti and shot on full auto for 3 years. Took my first class in 2010 and moved from auto to some of the other dial features and by trial and error have been trying to become a better photographer. In 2011 I bought a second xti from a friend and was SO happy that I wasn't having to switch out lenses. Last Sunday I purchased the 60D.

I just love to shoot. I'm not great...I'm not even very imaginative, when it comes to composing...I just love taking pictures and hope to learn from from some really great people.

That's me. Thanks for reading.

Thanks, everyone. I have been lurking and enjoying everyone's awesome photos!

There is some interesting reading here. Some things I did't know...okay...LOTS of things I didn't and still don't know.

I can't wait to get everyone's critiques on my submissions.

Well, whatever you learned from me, forget it or your pics will surely take a turn for the worse.

And just WHEN did I ever express myself so loosely as to give that impression? Omar and Nick are probably stronger backers than I am! :{)#
