So I'm new here. Registration demands that I post 3 times before I'm fully vetted. This is 1.
I just retired. Couple weeks ago. Did 25 years as a corporate IT guy.
Before that, I did 10 years as a newspaper photographer. My user name is an homage to the thousands of rolls of Tri-X I burned. But then it all dried up on me. Just couldn't make a living doing that. I was a little bitter when I left. Pretty much turned my back on photography.
But now I'm free. Old, but free. Free to do what I want. Do what I want for free. I don't have to make anything throw off any money. That's not a bad definition of freedom right there.
Photography-wise, things have changed a lot since I've been gone. I've got a million questions. But an SLR still feels good in my hands. Light's still light, glass is glass, and the nuances of reciprocity and composition still apply. So there's a chance I have a million answers too. Time to talk a little photography. Hopefully I can contribute.
There's 1.
