Al, I kinda figure it's like this... you know how you have met married couples that after a time they almost start looking like twins? Well, you guys are my family here, and so each of you guys have grown so much on me. I guess its quite natural we all start taking on similar characteristics...

Wow ..... I'm away for a week and a thread like this explodes on the scene!! Nice idea Ute, I know it's been done before but it certainly was high time we had a refresher.
I'm a civil engineer for a leading UK construction company. I'm an estimating manager and it's my job to win work. Winning work is easy of course - a cheap price usually does that but the trick is making sure the constructors can build it for the money I "give" them.
Here's a couple of shots of me:
#1 is me and my good lady (of 30 years!) dressed in our finery:
Very nice to see the faces of so many people who made me enjoy their beautiful images..
I am thirty and have a job at a bank.
Really had to search for a pic because I rather shoot the beauty around me than myself, but I found one.
Real fun thread!

Hi, my name is Adam Høj, 18 year old kid from Denmark (Europe).
I picked up my first camera when i was 15. It was my fathers Canon Powershot Pro 90. I loved it, but i missed some of the creativity in the camera. I always said to my dad, that i wanted I wanted a camera with that manual focus thingy.. So on my graduation day, from hmm, i not sure what it's called in english, but.. 9. grade, he said, that if i paided half, we could go buy a EOS 400D / Digital Rebel XTi. Eversince, i've been shooting. 2-3 weeks later the 40D was introduced, and I was really mad, because, for 400$ i could have bought that.. Darn!
I started taking more and more pictures, and finally bought the 40D, and sold my 400D.
Then one day at my photostore, I was allowed to try something, i never should have tried, the Canon EOS 1D mark 3...
Started budgeting... and bought it, and found out, that only my 50mm f/1.8 was usable, so i sold my 40D, and some lenses, and bought some L lenses. Darn it's nice. Then I had an offer i could'nt refuse.. a cheap (not stolen or anything!!!) Canon EOS 1Ds mark 3... Now, im 18 years old, and i shot everything....
That's me on Mt. Whitney last summer on the second-to-last day of a trans-Sierra pack trip from Crescent Meadow to Whitney Portal - snapped by one of my hiking buddies.
I've been a photographer since a very young age when my father loaned us various cameras and took us into his make-shift home darkroom to my siblings and me how to do chemical darkroom work. (I can still hear him telling us to "Move two steps closer!")
I continued to photograph, though I followed a different career path in another field and ended up as a college faculty member teaching music of various sorts. I've often felt that this was for the best as I could pursue photography as a passion rather than trying to make money at it. But the fact that I make my living something else makes me no less serious or passionate a photographer.
Much of my photography focuses on California since I've lived here since I was four years old. Subjects that especially interest me include central California, the Pacific coast, the Sierra, the California deserts, and urban California.
Yes, I blog. My photography blog, where I post a daily new photography along with commentary and news, is at http://www.gdanmitchell.com/. Links there will take you to my gallery and even to other blogs of mine.
Thanks for this wonderful post Ute. Always wondered who are those wonderful people behind those stunning pictures.
Hello everyone, I am Ashish, Aircraft stress engg, seattle, and my wife sireesha is a aircraft systems install engg .
We came to USA 6 years back from India as students to study MS in mechanical engg. The passion for photography got into me when i saw few pictures from a landscape photographer. After someone stole my fuji film camera, i bought a canon S1iS experimented and learnt as many things i could for the next 4 years, and then bought the 30D. After going through fredmiranda my passion accelerated and have had lots of fun taking pictures. Now a days the love to travel has grown exponentially. My wife has always supported me everysingle time I take out the camera with me on a trip, never hesitates to wake up early hours to catch that wonderful light, hike miles to go to those unique places and always encourage me when i fail to capture good photos.

Cool thread. I'm a computer and information technology consultant living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I grew up on the Manitoba prairies and migrated west about 10 years ago where I instantly fell in love with the Rocky Mountains. I have a beautiful wife and two wonderful kids and we love nothing more than going camping (yes - we still use a tent!). I enjoy any outdoor activity including, but not limited to, hiking, backpacking, climbing, skiing, running and canoeing. Here's me with my family in the Okanagan last summer:
