I've been interested in photography since the 60s, and spent a couple of co-op
terms from school making gelatin for Kodak film at Eastman Gelatine in
Peabody Massachusetts. I did lots of B&W darkroom stuff on an amateur
basis until I moved to Florida 16 years ago. I use Ubuntu Linux and am a
long time GIMP user. Recently I got the latest GIMP, which is miles
ahead of the one in my Ubuntu release. I also got the latest version of
Rawtherapee, and am beginning to understand it and am amazed at what
it lets me do with RAW files. I have a D90, and feel a wild attack of GAS
coming on that runs far ahead of my budget. I like photographing almost
everything.
