The faces behind the cameras


I'll take my turn. I'm an attorney living and working in the northern suburbs of Chicago. I've been interested in photography all of my adult life but really found satisfaction in digital photography and post processing. I'm lucky in that I'm able to take 2 to 3 day photo journeys to some of the prettiest places in the US. As I tell people, I get two sunsets and 2 sunrises. The desert southwest and the California coast are my favorites.

I'm an attorney living in Florida and I'm 29 years old. Landscape photography has turned into a passion/addiction that grew out of my love for the wilderness.

This is actually the second SP thread I'm participating in, but what the heck, here goes:
Working hard, or hardly working? Shot at my home office at 17mm:

I'm an IT support tech for a wee security company (Look at the mug...), 27 years old, married with a two year old son and another one on the way. I don't have nearly enough time for photography, a hobby that consumes just about all my spare time and cash (+20%). Oh, and I live in Denmark, the country that currently holds the world record for highest taxes - and photo equipment is roughly twice US prices.

When I just got my second flash, about 50 bikers busted through the door and FORCED me to look stupid with a remotely triggered flash. I was NOT just goofing around at home, nuh-uh!

Great to see you all!

Greetings all,

My name is Bob and I am a field ecologist in SE Alaska.

Here in the forums I am mostly a lurker.

This shot was taken by a hitch-hiker that me and my friend picked up while doing a recent road trip in Chile.

Yes; but, Dave.......

Your picture on this thread contradicts your new avatar and shows you in your true colours - a deep and intellectual thinker.

I was born, raised and still live in the Detroit area and like most around here I have ties to the automotive world. I teach industrial robotics for the auto groups, aerospace and food and beverage. Photography to me is a way to release everyday stress and add a good sense of balance to my life.

Good idea, Ute! Nice pic!

It's wonderful to put so many faces and names together!

Floris, that shot of you riding the wave is wonderful.

Craig - I'm sorry to hear that you lost your best friend. Looks like a real pal - my two go almost everywhere I go too.

Alex, I have a nephew who, when younger, looked amazingly like your twin.

Barry, you really do look like your Dad!!!

and Dave - Hi! This pic is so much - ah - less hirsute than your 'regular' avatar... I'd have never recognized you!

Oh man.... That is a stiff price... maybe I can talk Eric into donating his 200-400mm for the cause...

Well, this thread seems like as good as any place to post this self shot from earlier this winter...

I am a BC'er (British Columbia, Canada) since birth so far. For some strange reason my folks kept moving us farther north in the province whilst I grew up. That was 28 years ago we ended up in the Peace River region in the NE of the province. Married with kids: 2 boys & 1 girl (the kids, my wife is a woman ), and after 10 years of working in the auto parts & service, and tire sales & service industry following school, I jumped across the counter and started driving big trucks in the oil & gas sector. Now I've moved up to also operating truck mounted pickers and mobile cranes, still in the oil & gas "greasepatch". Photography has always been a part of my life since pre-teen, but always just a fun hobby - not to serious - until the last several years, when I started working on getting serious about it. A ways to go on that goal still I think, but I'm having fun with it!

This I shot from the upper controls of a telescoping man basket (like you see on construction sites) about 50 feet up. I was transporting it on a lowbed trailer from a mine site, and wanted to try for a higher than usual vantage point of the valley alongside a highway pullout. Unfortunately the cold, wind and snow prevented any such view. Made for a neat shot I thought though, except I wish I had had wider glass to include more of the basket and truck & trailer. Are you afraid of heights?

I'm a new poster to this forum, but have been doing photography nearly all my adult life (mid 50's now). I used to do a lot of landscape and travel photography prior to marriage and family, but now most of my photography is shooting competitive dance (my daughter's been a competitive dancer for half of her 12 years). I have recently rekindled my interest in landscape and portraiture, and am looking forward to an eventual transition from my profession to my expensive hobby. To pay for my hobby, I'm an executive at a commuter railroad in Southern California.

David, We're you just checking out and making sure that lift was in good working order... I've often wondered how to get a better view and a bucket lift would sure do the job!

I don't know, mabye I got it wrong, but I was taught a year has 365 (or 366 every 4th year) days... not 355, so Alex will be celebrating his B-day in about 8 days...

.... well ummmm.... a "0" is a null character right? So that means it is equal to nothing so ummm... when adding it to a "1" you still have the "1" right So technically I was correct, I had used an invisible "0" since it means nothing anyway and I was just watching out for the bandwidth here for Fred so that the ummm, server didn't get overloaded....
