Jumping in but intimidated

[John Reidy]

Hello, Lisa and welcome to the fun. As you can see from my information posted here with my picture I am a recent member to SOG. I have picked up a lot from the critiques. Remeber, this group of people have all been here where you and I are now and they benefited from the generosity of their community. Likewise with us.

Regarding photography, see if there is a good photography school in your area. I would think so being so close to St. Louis. A technology school is a good place to look. Good reference material is important and may add perceived value to your product.

I lived in Tulsa, OK for over 30 years and am happy to see someone from that part of the country here.

Have fun and I look forward to seeing your work.

Nice to see you here!
Welcome.

Mary, thank you! It's nice to know you are here. I will have to go look at what you have been doing. I do plan to learn as much as I possibly can. I'm not getting any younger.

John, well welcome to you too then. I agree that everyone here is very generous with their time. Believe it or not, I have quite a bit of background in photography but that was years ago before digital. I do need a refresher and there are great schools here. I think my other issue is with quality equipment. Poor equipment can mess up potentially good results. I'm going to read as much as I can on that. Thanks again for the welcome.

Claudemir, it is nice to be here as well. Thank you!
