Hello Hedgehoggers -
Just new to the forum. Looks very interesting - w/good fellowship. Looking forward...
Just to introduce myself
I'm a (semi)retired graphic designer, with background in architecture too. I started shooting in college (many!) years ago.m a Nikon guy. Ever since rented an F in college for a project, shot 20 rolls of Kodachrome (with zero SLR experience), and every image was perfect! Got my first Nikon (F2 - still my favorite film camera) in 1974. In my design career, also began using 4x5 in mid-80s to shoot still life & product for packaging, catalogs, etc. But my main love is still shooting coastal-nautical-marine subjects and scenics along our shores with my Nikons.
Currently working on several contemporary-vintage travel poster collections. Combining my own photos with unique typography and photoshop techniques.
Attached are a few images for your perusal. Your comments and critiques are always welcomed.
Thanx, Bill Thauer, CapeScapesCoastal
PS: Apologies for all the © notices. Not worried about you guys, but the occasional interloper. (I've been ripped off before)...

Beautiful work, and welcome from a fellow Masshole now living free (or maybe dying?) in NH.
Practically grew up just north of the Sagamore Bridge; I have many fond Cape Cod memories.

Welcome to UHH Bill, glad you joined us. Some very nice work! I am also a Nikon guy. Got an FTN and Nikomat in the middle 70's and now shoot with a D7200 and D7100. Still have my 35mm cameras.
Have fun, learn and enjoy the forum.

Thanx Dave -
I do too. I'm guessing I'm approaching the 200 range after all these years.
