St. Louis Area

Hi all.

I live in Wentzville, and purchased the K20D a few months ago. I like to take long vacations on a motorcycle and in June the Wife and I went to Deadwood, SD, then through WY, Yellow Stone and Rockey Mountain national park on the way home. I did not get to spend as much time taking photographs as I wanted to, because we had someone else tagging along and time did not permit a lot of time at stops. I only got to take a lot of snap shots. I am planning our vacation next year, and heading to the Blue Ridge Parkway. I should be able to get some good shots there.

Now that I've introduced myself, I see that this forum is not real active, but lets see what we can do to change that.

Hey guys. It's been a while since I checked up in here....and it looks like the St. Louis Social group is kinda dead eh?

aww man, i want to get a mountain bike SO BAD!! im just too broke right now. haha

If by 'play golf' you mean swing the 'Sams Club' special clubs I bought in College as hard as I can in the general direction of the hole, then yes.

Any single-track mountain bikers?

ok so does anyone play golf or what? i just got some clubs

Welcome Rick! Good to have you in the group.

Best,

Mike

Hey Daniel, wellcome.

who says you can hunt in the city. 8)

Hey all. My name's Daniel and I actual live in Springfield. I thought I'd share a little bit about myself. I am 24 years old and happily married with one son who is almost a year old. I am new to the photography thing, but I grew up hunting (including bow hunting) and hope that I will be able to implement the skills I learned doing that into an enjoyable wildlife photography hobby. I am choosing photography over hunting right now because: a.) I live in the city, b.) I do not have anywhere to store meat and the like, and c.) I want to be able to have a hobby that I can do anywhere (I am from a small town where shooting guns was not a big deal, but I cannot even shoot my bow outside at my apartments.)

I see this group as a few things. First, simply a place to share images and events of St. Louis and to meet others in the area who share a common interest. Perhaps it is also a means by which we can get together for a walkabout sometime. We can also use it for professional networking (ala linkedin.com). St. Louis already has a camera club, so I don't see it being as formal as that but I would not be opposed to it either.
