Hi from Connecticut

I suppose that I should introduce myself. I've been lurking on the board for a month or so. 63 yo male in Watertown, CT. Amateur (and that's an understatement.)
I've always enjoyed photography. Grew up with an Instamatic. My Father gave me his 1940s half-frame 35mm camera (Mercury?) when I was about 16 and I enjoyed the heck out of it. When I was in the service i bought a Yashika Electro35 and shot lots of slides. Got married and moved to point and shoot. About ten years ago I got into video cameras but lately I found my way back into photography.
I took the plunge and bought a Sony NEX 7 and wish I had more time to shoot. Maybe when I retire!

Hi Paul! Welcome to the site. Don't wait till you retire!!! So many thing to shoot you will never catchup.:):) Keep your camera with you. As you look around your world you will see things you wish you would have had your camera. And as you go along it gets worse.:):) You get an eye for things. And then the hard drives fill up.:):)

I once lived in Trumbull, Ct for about a year and I am living in the state of Idaho now. I grew up with an Instamatic 100 camera after my grandparents gave me a Kodka Brownie when I was seven. I now shooting with a Nikon D-90.
