Since this thread ha reached page 14, I wonder if anyone is reading it any more. But here is my entry anyway:

I am a 61-year-old (61 already? It doesn't feel like it) dentist with a wonderful wife of 32 years and two grown children. One works for Piedmont Airlines in Flagstaff, AZ, which has to be one of the most photogenic parts of the country. The other is a grad student in English at Hamline University in Saint Paul.

I live in Red Wing, MN and work in Saint Paul, where I operate a TMJ and sleep apnea dental practice. We treat headaches, facial pain, jaw locking and clicking, and most pain above the neck. We also make intraoral appliances that fit entirely inside the mouth as an alternative for people who snore and/or have sleep apnea and cannot or will not tolerate CPAP machines.

I suffered a serious eye injury a few years ago. Once some of my vision returned, I became re-interested in photography, as my images as viewed on my 24 inch monitor allow me to appreciate the world better than when I view it first-hand. I have to crop and level nearly every image I take, but Aperture allows me to do that easily.

UHh is great fun for me. I read it nearly every day on my commute, even though I have little time to make entries. I want to express a special thank-you to Nikonian for being a reliable source of accurate information and photographic inspiration.
