Hi Y'all - 12-12-2004, 10:26 AM


Guess I'm the lucky 50th member. Looks like a good group of people here Abel. Here's a little background information.

I live in Houston and have been a photography buff since my early teens. Got my first 35mm rangefinder camera at age 16. Moved up to a Canon FTb (yea, now I've dated myself) while attending U of H. Worked as a staff photographer for the Daily Cougar and school yearbook. Then I got a "real job" in the geophysical industry and only dabbled with photography and that was mostly when I went fishing.

Got my first point and shoot digital in 2001 and haven't touched my 35mm since. Because of a layoff at Western Geco near the end of 2003, I started a fishing guide service (saltwater). Digital photography has played a large role in my new business. Customers love those next day delivered email photos. It also opened up a few other unexpected photo avenues. I now write a monthly fishing column with photos for the Gulf Coast Connections a Texas coastal fishing magazine and have had numerous photos published in Saltwater Texas and the Galveston Islander.

I'm still shooting with a P&S Olympus C-5050Z but have my eye on the DSLR 20D Canon. I've been self learning PS 7 for almost two years now and getting to the point of feeling comfortable with it.

Looking forward to meeting up with and learning from other Texas members.

Welcome Capt. Ray! Yes we were eagerly awaiting to see who number 50 would be.

What an interesting story you have. It is funny how things work out sometimes in life. So do you take pictures as part of people's fishing packages? That really adds to the overall experience I imagine.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome Aboard!

I too was an Oly User (C4000, close to your model) and recently got a 20D. It's a big step and alot to learn, as the dang thing has more buttons and commands than a space shuttle simulator!

But it's worth it.
