Corporeal Offline Image Upload: On The faces behind the cameras Interesting reading about all of you. i'll add to. Hi, my name is Jake and i'm a photoholic. i'm 31 years old, a high school history teacher living outside of Pittsburgh although i'm a Philly area native. i live with my girlfriend and two cats. i spend a good portion of each day thinking about photography and planning photo hunts. Every summer i travel throughout the American west, which is my passion. Photography as a hobby for me grew out of this passion. Through my camera i try to glorify the beauty of the west and show as many people as possible. It sucks being trapped here in the east, someday i'd like to relocate to Colorado so i can focus more on photography. i'm getting ready for the end of the school year and the day i pack my car full of gear and head to where the pavent ends somewhere in the rocky mountains.

nburwell Offline Image Upload: Off The faces behind the cameras ^ Looks like we have two PA photog's posting back to back here. Ironically enough, as much as I love photography, I hate having my photo taken. For the sake of pleasing my girlfriend, we took this self-portrait so she would have something to remember our vacation by. Anyway, I'm Nick. I am 26 years old and am currently Marketing Manager in Philadelphia. I graduated from Penn State University two years ago with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications. I have though about going back for my Master's, but I would like to travel a bit first before I head back into the classroom. Although I haven't posted many landscape photos on here, I am always on this forum for inspiration since I will be taking numerous West coast trips this upcoming summer. Photography has always been a part of my life ever since I was a little kid. I grew more interested in it about 10 years ago, and I haven't looked back since. I'm constantly learning and educating myself, since no one can no everything about photography - we're all constantly learning (especially from each other). Without further do, here is my mug.

Zen Lunatic Offline Image Upload: Off The faces behind the cameras I'm a chronic lurker, but I'll introduce myself anyway. I'm a 30 year old single guy (with one dog) living just outside of Denali National Park in Alaska and enjoy a very uncomplicated life. I build hiking trails when the ground isn't frozen and do a lot of cross-country skiing when there is snow on the ground. Working half the year and making ends meet isn't as hard as you think it might be. If you cut out things like television and cell phones, that's a lot of money that you can put towards other stuff. When I went digital, my photography really took off. I happy that my obsessive and expensive hobby will be paying off this summer with my first two public shows. Skip Mar 29, 2008 at 06:07 PM

Petecc Offline Image Upload: On The faces behind the cameras Hello all, I'll jump on this as well I'm a telephone lineman and on the side, I'm mainly a ladscape photographer dabbling in people photography, Macro photography, and recently met Lou Buscher ( on FM) who's getting me into nature and wildlife photography. I'm insanely addicted to this. Pete Edited by Petecc on Mar 29, 2008 at 01:35 PM GMT Mar 29, 2008 at 06:12 PM

I've often wondered how to get a better view and a bucket lift would sure do the job! Yes, I wanted to see how wobbly it was sitting up on the trailer. They're usually fairly stable (relatively speaking) on solid ground, but 3 foot off the ground on suspension and tires might have been different. Wasn't so bad though, although I didn't swing too far off the side... Mar 29, 2008 at 06:13 PM

JaneG Offline Image Upload: Off The faces behind the cameras Hi People and warm greetings to everyone on the forum so here is a christmas shot of the clan .. we are fusion of San Franciso/Oxford origins ( I'm on the near left with my son and my husband is the smiley chinese guy) . I've included some images from death valley, my son loved being here he was captivated by the dunes especially. I am a scientist from Cambridge.. I have a research fellowship to study mechanisms of inflammatory arthritis and my husband studies the physiology of obesity and appetite pathways. My husband Giles is a rock .. he supports me in my hobby 100% and lets me spend my money on camera gear which we should, if we were sensible, spend on kitchen refurbs and dining tables .... Ou holidays are centred around great locations but I do the photography before they wake up and we all meet up for breakfast ...we enjoy the landscape by hiking and exploring together and they join me for the sunsets if its not too late or inconvenient.

MartinMcl Offline Image Upload: On The faces behind the cameras Aged 64, nowhere near the youngest on here - and not even David’s calculations could make me so - I was a teacher of Music, Drama and Team Sports all my working life. I took early retirement in 2000, as my wife developed Encephalitis and needed full time care http://www.encephalitis.info After Ruth died in 2005, I decided not to return to work,; but to remain retired and follow my passion for landscape photography. As I have family who live on the US - Canada border in Victoria, BC, I now spend several months a year in the area. The FM site helped me tremendously over the long period of crisis and subsequent loss; and I have been privileged to meet many of it’s members on my travels. I seem to have run out of self-portraits - due to previous threads like this - and so I use 2 pics of me taken by Bart Carrig and Javier Rey over this last year. (Hope you don’t mind, guys) 1. Wild Man My hair cut has been tamed a bit since Bart took this picture on Shi Shi beach; where we two and Don Hall photographed the sunset, a total eclipse of the moon and the subsequent moonset and sunrise - an unforgettable experience. I assure you that the footwear was necessary for the trek in! Mar 29, 2008 at 07:27 PM

Stu Bailey Offline Image Upload: On The faces behind the cameras Hey, I'll throw myself out there! I don't get here as much as I would like, but I really love being amaized by all of your work and I'm always learning something new. I am a manager of a lumber yard in Ohio, but would love to figure out how to make this my career (and still be able to eat and travel and raize kids). This is me at the wrong time of day on Cadilac Mtn. Mar 29, 2008 at 07:36 PM

I assure you that the footwear was necessary for the trek in! Hi Martin, nice idea from Ute, so this forum will become much more familiar. I think the footwear is an absolutely necessary equipment for all famous photographers . I tried to put a portrait from me and my wife Maria, but for some reason it doesn't work anymore to set a link to my homepage. All the the accustomed actions doesn't seem to work anymore Best Regards Karl Mar 29, 2008 at 09:13 PM

Rob Aubrook Offline Image Upload: Off The faces behind the cameras this is me. One time farmer, now more of an economist come conservationist. most important things for me are my family, friends and the environment (particulalry landscape and marine). Photography provides two things for me; a way to explore my love for the environment and also a creative outlet that expands what is a very analytical approach to life. Mar 30, 2008 at 01:10 AM

Tom K. Offline Image Upload: On The faces behind the cameras I am a Mental Health Worker and have been for 27 years. I started working in an enormous State Mental Institution when I was 20 years old and when that closed I transitioned into the community where I assisted severely mentally ill people with essentially living their lives on a day to day basis. I currently work on a 16 bed sub-acute mental health and addiction services unit. Mar 30, 2008 at 01:12 AM

Tim ONeill Offline Image Upload: Off The faces behind the cameras Ok, I now do nothing. My wife Linda (of 34 years) and I retired from Huntington Beach CA in December of '06, and moved to Sequim WA. We just moved into our dream house. From here the OlyPen is steps away. I have had opportunity to shoot with many FM'rs, and hope to do more of that in the future. Seems that this new job takes more of my photography time than it should. This shot from a old railroad bridge in town in January. The snow had just melted. Oh, a view from my back porch.

sbarricklow Offline Image Upload: On The faces behind the cameras My better half and me at Chester Cathedral. I'm a manager for a large multinational telecommunications company, and have been in the electronics industry since the '70s. My interest in photography began in the late '50s with a Christmas gift from my parents of a Kodak Brownie, which I used to snap photos around the neighborhood and on family vacations. In the '60s I moved up to an Instamatic 120. Both cameras are still here, safely stored in a drawer. My father wasn't interested in photography, but my grandfather, who was from southern Illinois, was an avid photographer. He shot with large format cameras. Only a few of his glass and film negatives remain in Texas. When he passed-on before I was born, most of his work was given to a relative in Illinois. No one seems to know where it is today.

Jane Remember - Matt's a "digital imaging artist & retoucher"...-- Jk Matt...thanks for the PM reply btw (i'll be getting back with more Q's shortly) It amazes me how many left brainers we have on here (i.e. engineers, IT, etc.) I'm seeing the connection with all the tech talk now . Ok -- From Mountain Bike instructor to Pilot(school) to Large Corporation (account management) and now full-time photographer (age 31). I find excitement in change I guess. Honestly, I got sick of the 8-5 office work and took the plunge, because who needs money, right?. A lot of my photography focuses in the outdoor industry, but I also shoot architecture and some event work. And of course, love landscapes and have several projects in the works including a book we just finished publishing. Loving the photo life! But most importantly have the most amazing and supportive wife & little boy in the world! Oh and I'm only ripping on myself with the left brain comments as my degree is in number crunching Finance. Glad it is though, because when you take the plunge into photography full-time it's Sales, Business Skills, Photo skills (in that order) -Kevin Me: At Work - 60 feet up hoping I don't drop a lens! (Location: Indian Creek, Ut, - 5.13 crack climb) Me again...back when I did stupid things on bikes (and let my wife take the pictures ). BTW - Came up a little short on this line and broke my left wrist. Luckily it was the end of our trip - (location: Lake Tahoe) Mar 30, 2008 at 02:47 AM
