Newbie from central Mass
Hello all! Just introducing myself -- since I've been lurking awhile. I'm a bit intimidated over at the Canon forum (POTN) and wanted to find a more low-key and friendly place.
I have been taking pictures as a hobby for over 32 years. Started out with a Brownie camera, then a real SLR camera ( Pentax K100 that still works), learned B&W darkroom skills, had a few point and shoot cameras (found them completely frustrating), and currently have a Canon 20D which I LOVE. With all that said, I still consider myself FAR from being an expert. I think if it were my profession, it would take some of the fun out of it! LOL!
My favorite things to take pictures of: old cars, flowers, windows, and my son.
I just uploaded some pictures to my Flickr account from the 2007 Summer Nationals in Worcester, MA over the 4th of July week. I look forward to this every year!

Looking forward to being part of NorthEastFoto!
