Hello all!
I have been lurking and posting on DPReview for a while in anticipation of getting a K10d. It finally arrived, but I had a problem with it. So I searched for an answer and (somewhat obliquely) found it here.
So I decided to join. Came over from having an Oly E300 and a long list of point-and-shoots, including a Minolta A2 (still sorry I sold it) an FZ7 (pretty happpy with that, except most pics need some NR) and a Ricoh R4 (would be REALLY happy with that except that the auto-focus keeps breaking on me).
I work as a designer in Albany, NY, but have much experience in photography, both amateur and professional. Cut my teeth on 8x10 sheet film in studio settings for advertising in the 80's, but decided to get out of photography professionally to broaden my horizons. Now I am considering getting back into it.
I have many other interests, including astronomy, computers, model and real railroads, and a few other odds and ends.
Thanks for checking my bio and I hope to have some great discussions and share some great pictures.
