I have really enjoyed this post. Getting to see my friends (and their antics, again), and meeting many new ones. There's a common thread here -- great people, who appreciate life, with a humble respect for the wonders of nature.
Just a little bio: 57, Attorney and City Court Judge from upstate NY. Loves hiking, trail running, and most of all nature and photography -- especially in the Southwest. If it ever becomes a business, fine -- as long is it doesn't overtake the experience of being there and capturing these great locations.
The photo is with my 8 year old grandson after a canoe race. He's also a great hiking companion, and has done most of Zion, including Angel's Landing.
Thanks atleast for getting a side view of me up! I can't wait until we get a chance to go out and shoot together again, it was a blast.
I do have a front on view I found, this is of my daughter and me getting ready for some backpacking in Yosemite. Be warned I look a bit different as I had been growing facial hair at the time...
Wow, I follow this forum as a lurker and I haven't posted to this forum yet since I either know what is wrong with my photo and/or I don't feel it's worthy of posting.
Anyway, I do have a front view of Jim taken last June, which I'm tempted to post, but don't want to ruin the mystery at this point. And he's an extremely nice guy from my experience.
Howdy! I am a Senior studying photography at the Peck School of Fine Arts in the University of Milwaukee. I have also been a freelance photographer for the last 2 years.

Thanks Nancy! I have to be careful you know. Next thing half these guys will blow up the photo of me and hang it up in their houses... I definately don't want to make anyone tempted to start doing idol worship, or using it as a dart board as the case may be...
Okay, here is one more front face shot... This was another trip to Yosemite with my daughter, and we were getting ready for the final leg of climbing Half Dome, those dreaded cables!
As you can see, I look much younger after a trip to the barber!
As for my bio: I'm nearing 43, married & two kids (a boy and a girl). Until recently we also had a wonderful border collie. I earn my life as an IT professional (system and network administrator).
My wife Renee and I are both real estate agents in the Seattle area. In my 53 years I started out as an electrictal engineer, then airline pilot, back to aerospace at Lockheed then owned my own flight school for a number of years before moving back to the Seattle area in 1995. We have three grown kids and only one left in the house, almost free!
Renee is just starting to get into the photography thing after I purchased her a D50 for Christmas. Both of us ski and I am a fanatic about skiing and downhill mountain biking. Oh and I still love to fly.
