Thought I'd jump in and say Hi from Northern California!
After being out of photography for about 20 years, I decided to get back into it about 3 years ago and bought myself a K100D (with an 18-55 & 100 Macro lens). Some of the best money I've spent in a long time!
Here I am, 3 years and about 12,000 photos (they sure add up, don't they?) later, I'm finally joining up!
Better late than never, huh?
