What I Do For Fun
I like photography...always have. I even went to school for it early on with aspirations of becoming a photo journalist. Now, I just play.Here's what I use for my handywork...the recently released Nikon D80. It's a very nice piece of equipment. Simple enough for an amateur, but capable of professional quality.
Where I Live
Nestled in the San Juan Mountains of Southwest Colorado. Our home is 3 miles from the San Juan National Forest at an elevation of 8,000 feet.
