A Documentation Engineer in a cubicle in a Group in a Unit in a Section in a Division in a Department at an LCG (large county government)...we put the rock in bureaucracy! Here I am with my friends, the file cabinets. Dave
Just about to graduate from Cornell University.. then off to CalTech for a PhD in Control and Dynamical Systems, with a long term plan of convincing my girlfriend to be an invasive radiologist so that I can pursue photography for a living and not worry about feeding myself.. and maybe work in some engineering projects on the side (related to photography of course) so I don't waste my education

I am not a professional photographer, though I have sold some pictures. But it has been a passion for over 40 years. I am new to FM, but try to make regular contributions. My passion is the mountain wildernesses, and as a teacher I spent most of my summer in the Sawtooth, Seven Devils, Tetons, Wind Rivers, Sierra, Cascades, Wasatch, Uintas and Colorado Rockies. But since my recent retirement, I have been able to visit the desert and tropics in the colder months.
I live in Salt Lake City, which itself has one of the most beautiful mountain settings in the world. So far I have not seen a city of its size which has a better backdrop. And it is less than 45 minutes from wilderness hikes, mountain biking and skiing. It is also a great central headquarters. I am a half days drive from most of the Rockies and the deserts of the Southwest.
The first picture is with my loyal companion of 15 years, Bailey (in the backpack). She would hike with me, but of course did not know how to pace herself. She would plop down near the end of hikes and I would put her in my frame pack. Of course she did not go on my longer backpacking trips. I finally lost her last year. The first picture is the end of a hike in the Tetons.
The second picture is not "a face" but was from Jackass Pass in the Wind River Mountains. The Cirque of the Towers is in the distance.

Looks like I'm gonna with the competition for youngest poster in this topic - I'm 22 years old student, currently gearing up for bachelor degree at university of economics in Bratislava, Slovakia. Unfortunately, this takes almost every minute of my free time right now, so I cannot shoot or post here as often as I'd like. I'm not that experienced in photography, I've been shooting for 3 or so years, so I think I'm still a newbie , but making great progress thanks to this very board. I don't have any photo of myself I'd be proud of, but here's the photo of me from last year's tennis tournament I was allowed to shoot.
I am close enough to retirement to smell it,
but don't know if I want to be that old.
I'm married with three daughters,
the youngest just starting college.
I work at a startup data storage company as a software test guy.
I dabbled in photography while in Vietnam,
but life intervened and it was put on the shelf.
That was until about 3 years ago.
Since then it has become a passion, almost frenetically so.
Which means I need to smell the roses before I take pictures of them.
Not much to look at, but I'll give it a go... Day job is aircraft design engineer. Love photography and try to work at it as often as possible. Not easy though when my brain is in constant overdrive due to all my interests and projects Currently living in Stavanger, Norway.
I live and work in Yosemite Valley. I'm within spitting distance of 50, am a US Navy vet, believe that specialization is for insects and that God was inordinately fond of bugs, 'tis an ill wind that blows no minds, and what you send forth returns threefold.
I also tend to use a commanding tone when I tell my customers to look at the stained glass cactus in the window and not at me as I kneel at their feet with a pin in my hand. Can you guess what my current job is?
And Beerguy, you better be able to recognize where this picture was taken. If you can't, you haven't been paying attention.
