Greetings,
I have been reading this forum for about 6 weeks and figured I might as well jump in. I'm 58 and have always enjoyed taking pictures. Most of the time it's been with a point and shoot. Back in the mid 70's I bought a Kodak Instamatic off a wino for 2 bucks and took some good pictures on a trip to Nova Scotia with some traveling buddies. About a year ago I got the dslr bug and bought a Nikon d300s. I developed a lens addiction and fortunately bought some decent glass. As I've been recently laid off I'm trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up and would like to think I could make a little money with photography. There sure is alot to learn but I think there is still time for me to pursue my newest dream.

Oh Yeah.....Go Steelers!. Ive only been to Pittsburgh once in my life but have been a Steelers and Pirates fan since I was old enough to talk. Thank God the Steelers can play cuz the Pirates havent given us many smiles in the past few years.

I still like football but the game has changed and so have the players. The Pirates kept us happy for 1/2 a season.I went to the last home game yesterday. I always take my camera and have fun shooting unsuspecting fans and a ball player or two. I started shooting kids ( 9 to 12 year olds ) football as there are a lot of leagues in Pittsburgh. I get some good pictures and I email them to the teams. I think it's a good way to get your name and work out there.
