Hi, my name is Richg55. 25 years ago I had one of the first Videography studios in New Jersey shooing strictly Video events, and became a member of the South Jersey PPA. After @ 5 years in business I burned out real fast. I had 8 shooters and I guess I grew WAY to fast. I Left the business and went into financial planning and had a wonderfully successful business for the past 18 years. Last March I was diagnosed with a rare deadly form of Leukemia. I decided to spend my days spending time with my children and 8 grandchildren. I'm having a blast learning all the NEW still and am studying constantly, especially because I'm housebound. I finally got out and started shooting the kids sports, basketball,soccer,indoor baseball. After my first outing I realize how much work I need. But I'm loving it! Looking forward to picking all your brains and hopefully also being a contributor toy the site. I absolutely love the past month getting to know the people who post regularly. No specific questions today, Just wanted to say HI!!

Hello Rich, and welcome. So sorry to hear about your health issues. You seem to be focusing on the positives though and making the most of your time and to do it through kids, grandkids, sport etc sounds pretty damned good to me. Are you going to stick a picture on for us to have a look at?
God bless you and thank you for joining us!
Welcome to the Hog. May you be with us a long time.
Welcome to the HOG.
I do hope your stay with us is a long one.
Blessings to you and your family members.
Welcome photography has changed for the better. With the new cameras and software it is nothing like it was back in the day its better and fun.
Greetings Richg55, and welcome to the UHH.
Welcome to the Hog, Rich, I'm happy you joined us. With your attitude I'm betting you will beat the odds and be with us for a long time. Just keep on keeping on and having fun . ;)

Thanks PaulG, I only did one basketball game and and now learning Lightroom. So as soon as figure it out I will post and ask for help!
Thanks soon much for all your kind words and support. The one thing I've learned from this experience is that there are many wonderful people in the world! I am a very very blessed man to be so touched by so many.
God bless you all, and I plan to be a UHH a very long tome. Just the fact that I found this site is a blessing.....the nights I can't sleep I look forward to the 5:00AM posting of UHH, read all the postings and examine the pictures, and yes even read the chit chat and jukes!!!!
