The faces behind the cameras


Wow.......... some great contributions! Great to put names to faces, and jobs and all that!

Al, I have a few more images of you and Jan from last August but you might pay me handsomely for NOT showing them!

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.

Thanks for the topic Ute.

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.

Here is a shot of me at a PJ assigment ( I actually got paid for a few shots!)

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.

Todd,

Are you sure that's not a Cannon.
Oh, sorry, you said you had a D3.
Man that thing looks like you could use it for a Circus stunt!!

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.

I hope to turn the equasion around the closer I get to retirement as an advocation.

You gave me the opening, so I'm gonna walk right through it. Here
are a few of my alter egos. There's Ruben Pondwater, Yehudah Manne and
Rory Stankafew, just to name several. I am a contributing editor to
UFO Sentinel Magazine and can often be found behind a rock envying
Todd's telescope.

I think I am the new youngest person to post at a mere 20yrs and 355 days.

I am studying Aerospace engineering in Bristol UK. I make my home in a quaint village in Devon. As well as photography I enjoy Rugby, loads of other sports which I am rubbish at, chess and art.

I'm the mug on the right, and on the left is my twin brother.

My granddaughter and I, getting silly. My interest in photography is guided by my need to express beauty and spend more time outside and traveling with my wife. Add a bit of technology and I'm set!

Yikes, looks like I'm the baby here. Junior in high school, planning on majoring in photography and graphic design in college. I love shooting pretty much everything, especially landscapes.

This really is a cool idea, Ute, thank you for starting it!

My dad originally sparked my interest in photography, but it wasn't until I went digital 4 years ago that I really started becoming more serious about learning. As a dentist in Charlotte, North Carolina, I document virtually all of my work with digital photography, so I am behind the camera probably as much as most pros, but not many people want to look at the pictures I take at work.

Last year I started getting hooked on L glass and learning Photoshop, and I'm now a confessed addict of both. About the only thing holding me back from profligate purchases of more lenses is my very sensible wife.

My brother-in-law was the one who turned me on to FM -- I wonder if that's why my wife doesn't speak to him anymore Hmmmmmmmm....... Just kidding, but between FM and my favorite dental forum, I really need to get off the computer more.

This is fun!
I'm constantly amazed at how wrong I am about everyone's ages.
That said, here is a triptych I made for my Dad, taken on two different trips to Red's Meadow, near the Devil's Postpile, in the High Sierra. The B&W (I'm the young one)was taken about 50 (!!!) years ago. The colors (my son is the young one) in 1987! The distinguished gentleman in all three is Dad!
Quite a bit of PS work went into rehabilitating these, so I'm proud to share them.

Oh, I'm in sales, and only in the last two years has photography really taken hold. I've been very blessed to meet and shoot with some wonderful people from the FM family!!
