Spotlight On! [Tag your it] in Digital Imaging http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r17715689 en Wed, 25 Nov 2009 06:13:21 EDT Wed, 25 Nov 2009 06:13:21 EDT Re: Spotlight On! [Tag your it] http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20076589 EODDDPA : Okay, I'll bite.

I'm Dave, I've been married 22 years and have two young girls.

I'm a retired Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal (E O D) --military bomb squad--technician. I retired from the military, not the work force.

I am the extended family's computer geek... And did that even when I was stationed 3000 miles away. Thanks to Bill Gates for 'Remote Assistance'--really! :)

After the Air Force I went to work for Adelphia doing internet tech support and was there for the transition to Time Warner Cable (Roadrunner). Was laid off when TWC closed Coudersport PA operations. I worked in a factory until very recently.

I play the guitar and struggle with the mandolin. I enjoy hiking, hunting and fishing.

I must admit that I do use bait on my hook. :o I suppose if I were a professional fisherman I would stand knee deep in icy water for weeks on end trying to grab a fish with my bare hands--that way we would all know that I earned my meal the natural way. ;)

But I digress.

Who's next?

Dave

Ok, Im boring but here goes....

My name is Ron, Im 32 years old. Born in Wisconsin raised in Michigan. After a brief stay at MSU, I got a job working for a Outdoor recreation equipment manufacture. we made canoe & kayak paddles, but were the main distributors for the kayaks, boats, boat motors.. etc.... i eventually worked My way up and started designing the paddles, going on the trade shows etc.... I was engaged to be married. everything was great ! Then I was diagnosed with cancer, and there went the job and the woman. After battling that and the depression that followed, after some years I am finally getting back out into the world, Have met a wonderful woman. who is also a cancer survivor, meet her by chance. and after one night of talking that was that.. :) however her cancer has returned, and we are dealing with that the best we can. the cost of it is the hardest part right now. having been through it myself I thought I knew what to expect, but going through it yourself and watching someone you care about go through it are two entirely different things ! but even with all that going on it's still the happiest time in my life :)

ohh I have to add a pic hmm... Ok this is a few years old, and technically its not even a pic, i stuck my head in the scanner :)

My name is Chris. I am 24, born in northern California, but we moved to SoCal a year later, where I still live today. I have had an interest in music my whole life, and in elementary school started playing the song flute; it was something the whole school did to introduce music to us. After that I was hooked. I started to play the trumpet in the elementary school band, and continued up through high school. I was in the marching band, concert band, Jazz band.

When I was young I got a little keyboard from selling tickets in cub scouts. Slowly throw the years moved up to bigger and bigger versions, but never took a lesson. The last 5 years I really started to play keyboard more and more, making up my own songs, and playing stuff I heard on the radio. I tried to record some of my stuff, but I couldn't get the midi to work right. I will have to try again and get it working. Last month I finally started to take piano lessons.

I didn't know what I wanted to do out of high school, so I ended up working with my dad doing finish carpentry. The company installs high end commercial woodwork(cabinets, doors, millwork). You might have seen some of our work if you have been to the new Claim Jumper Restaurants in Illinois, Oregon, or Arizona. Most of the work we do is in resorts, and hotels. I like the work that I do, and am proud of it, but I cant stand waking up so early in the morning. Don't hold me to it, but I am looking into the possibility of starting a Pentax lens rental company. I know a lot of Pentax users would like a place to be able to rent from.

Probably like most of you, I came to BBR because of the Internet stuff they offer, and spotted the photos on the front page. I have always been interested in cameras, and photography, but didn't really get started until I got my first digital camera a few years ago. It was a P&S, but all of your work inspired my to get better at photography, and this year I bought a DSLR.

"The most affectionate creature in the world is a WET dog"---- Ambrose Bierce]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18520557 Sun, 17 Jun 2007 08:12:19 EDT Re: Spotlight On! [Tag your it] http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18520521 Chinabound : Gee...thanks Wendi!

Ok, my name is Michael. I am 48 years old, born in Brooklyn, raised in Westport, Connecticut, and finished high school in Mt. Prospect, IL. I entered the Navy two weeks after high school graduation in 1977 and stayed in until 1983. I became a printing press operator shortly after my separation from the service. After a few years of printing, it became obvious that I had a way with the machines, so I became an installer. By 1987, I was assembling printing presses throughout the country.

I enjoyed the single life until October 2000 when I was married in my wife's hometown of JiangJin, China. We met in San Francisco at the St. Francis Yacht Club, where my father had a lunch gig for many years. He was a jazz piano player, and the one day he allowed me (or any of his kids) to watch him play ("I'm working goddamit") happened to be the same day my wife's company in town from Beijing came for a luncheon. She and a couple of co-workers requested a song (The theme from The Love Story) and after the song, I noticed my father giving me a look. I walked over and said "what"?
He asked me "what the hell is wrong with you? You are 40 years old, never married, no kids, there are 4 beautiful Chinese women over there at that table giving you the eye, and they dig the old man. Get your ass over there and talk to them!" So, I did, and ended up married to one of them.
One year later we had a baby girl which many of you have seen. Her name is Lia Pearl, and she is now 5½ years old. And believe me, she lets me know it when I forget to mention that "½". This little precious child of mine is my world. I never thought I would need a child to feel complete with my life. Now I can't imagine my life without her.

We started a business just after my baby was born. We import mostly hand-made goods from China, however in the last couple of years it has been my desire to seek out the quality items made in China. Believe it or not, they make some of the finest quality goods that you can find on the planet. The only way to see this for yourself, is to make a trip to China, and remain clear of the touristy parts.
We have a small store near our home, and I also drive to many craft shows and flea markets throughout the midwest to display and sell these items. You name it, I can get it.
I am away from home from Sundays through Thursdays during the summer months, with an occasional two week trip. It's tough being away from my child, but we talk each day and she knows why daddy has to take off each week. Every few weeks they will join me, which makes it nicer for me, but every week would be too tough on them. Arnie too - four days on a leash is very difficult for a Border Collie used to having all the land he would want to chase animals and stretch his legs. His real job, is taking care of my daughter. He will not allow her beyond our driveway gate, just like our last Border Collie, Barney. I never taught either one to do this - it was instinctive to them. Arnie is a happy dog, but very serious when it comes to Lia Pearl. He will stand next to her whenever a stranger approaches and stare at that person. I'll have to get a picture of that someday.

Well, I guess that's about it. I really lack the time to search for the next person to tag, so I will leave that up to the OP. It's his thread, so he can do it.

Here's my picture, taken a few minutes ago with the timer. It clicked before I smiled....sorry.
Yes, I still wear bell-bottoms. I'm an aging hippie.

44 years old.

Why Husky, don't know. I was raised with Collies and always had an affinity for northern breeds. Had an Alaskan Malamute before my Husky, and am THINKING about maybe a Newfie next. Haven't decided though.

My photography interest started WAY back in the 70s. (long before some of you were born... ;) )

I am an avid reader, and do quite a bit of that. (am always in the middle of 3-5 books at any one time.)

I'm a Sagittarian and like my fellow Sagges, I suffer HORRIBLY from hoof and mouth disease...lol

Live in New Jersey and have all my life.
MANY MANY moons ago I was a freelance photographer, and have been published in the NY Daily News and the London Daily Mirror.

Never married, no children, but have an 18 year old Siberian Husky who is my son,(avatar)-(gonna get another Collie next weekend cos the other one died in December).

I am in the accounting fields. I am only a temp at present, so I can't be more specific as I have done almost every aspect of the field.

I am a computer geek as is just about everyone in my family. (cept my mom). I was playing a lunar landing game that my dad designed on the COMPUTER in our living room BEFORE we landed on the moon. (if you believe we actually did that...lol)

Welcome to the forum. Interesting Bio it seems you are a world traveler even if it was earlier in your life. There are a few members on site who are into small planes and helicopters.

Your interest in Gliders would I think give you a chance for some great photos to show us in the imaging forum.

My name is obviously Noah Nott. I'm 17 years old as of today (June 3rd). My physical size is fairly small: about 5'6", size 10ish shoe size, and slim (i'm trying to put on weight but that isn't working as well as i'd like). I live in Wenatchee, Washington, USA. I've lived in Kathmandu, Nepal; Midland, Michigan; and for the first two years of my life, Ponape, Micronesia. I am a Junior at Wenatchee High School.

My interests include photography, RC planes, and sailplanes. I started to take photos frequently about a year ago; before that I only took a photo here and there. My dad and I build and fly RC sailplanes. Last year we flew a small arthobby 1.2 meter plane out of the backyard - but that ended after I hit the fence a few times and my brother nose dove it straight into the ground. I currently have a 3 meter plane sitting in my bedroom waiting to be built. I have been a member of the local glider club for about two years. I have accumulated about 54 glider flights but only about 20 hours. The longest flight i've gotten is about 2.5 hours which was during memorial day weekend.

My interest in photography began...well...i'm not so sure. I started out with a compact digital camera, then i moved up to a D50, tried out my dad's F80 (same as the Nikon N80) and Bronica S2 along with his enlarger and what not (didn't really like it), and now I have a Nikon D200.

I entered the Washington State Highschool Photography Competition this year and didn't even recieve a "Select". =P

I'm still not sure what I will do after college. I have no idea what I want to do as a career - engineering of some sort? We'll soon find out i guess.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18444996 Mon, 04 Jun 2007 01:08:47 EDT Re: Spotlight On! [Tag your it] http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18444632 siouxie : Ok I am a complete newbie in here but thought I would "tag" myself if that's ok.

My name is Sue and I am well over 21!

I am originally from England but now reside in Canada, where I have been happily married for a whole 3 years. I have a 24 year old son who is hoping to move over here next year, a step-son of 26 who is a teacher (and soon to be married) and a step-daughter of 23 who is an amazing singer/songwriter who has a couple of cd's out there.

I used to work as an office manager/administrator but since coming to Canada haven't worked as I don't yet have a work permit or landed status - should be granted in the next few weeks.

I have travelled extensively during the past 25 years - visited Tahiti, Fiji, Cook Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and lived in Hong Kong for 9 years which was a memoriable experience. I have also travelled around Europe and a little further afield (South Africa back in '72) at times.

To the gentleman who was in "Oasis" - phenominal band!!! (Yes, I have a couple of your albums.. sigh!)

My only claim to fame is that I once had tea with David Bowie and his (former) wife at their home, met Phil Collins when he played in Hong Kong (he was having a walk around totally alone early one morning) and served Queen a few beers at an after hours session at a nightclub in Bristol waaaay back in the 70's. (Those were the good ol' days!)

It's been an interesting life so far!

Great idea of tagging yourself and it's nice that you did. Now, if you would, tell us more about you relating to things not photographic...a little bit about you personally. That's what's been so fabulous about this thread in that it has introduced everyone in a manner far more in depth than the forbidden subject, photography. Take it a step further if you would feel comfortable doing so. I am sure that the originator of this thread would agree.

I attended Ryerson University back in '90 for technical theatre production and got into the trade. I was doing mostly lighting in theatre and concerts. After a few years I had lucked into a full time job as an autoworker in Brampton ON. This lasted 3 years before I was out of work again. I decided to go back to school and learn something new. I took a year program in IT and walked out of it with a job. I started working in Burlington for a telecom service company that was starting a call centre to support cable companies IP networks. Before I knew it though I was called back to work (almost 3 years to the day!) and had to leave the IT world behind.

I have been lucky enough to get to travel around North America when I was growing up. Any vacation pictures I took had complaints that the family wasn't in them, it was just mostly the "background scene". Now I am lucky if I get away camping for a weekend or two a year. Golf is another activity I have been neglecting lately, but with the nice weather returning I hope to change that.

Edit: looking for the next tag.

I am in awe of all of you in this fantastic forum, and want to extend my gratitude for the wealth of tutelidge I have acquired here.
I was born in Manhattan, and adopted at birth by Polish immigrants who survived WWII. I lived my first 15 years in Fort Lee, NJ. In 1975 I moved to Montreal upon the death of my mother, and lived with guardians who were lovely friends of our family.
After completing highschool and C.E.G.E.P. (jr college) there I entered McGill U, and lasted about 3 semestres until I found gainful employment as a bartender.
In 1985 I moved north to the Mt-Tremblant region, and worked at a resort called Gray Rocks. There I stayed for 8 years, skiing, mountain biking, hiking, wind surfing, and I started to enjoy the landscape through the lens and on film.
In '93 I went back to school, at Queen's U in Kingston, Ontario. After my B.A. I continued on to complete my B.Sc.N (Nursing Science). I currently work in Public Health in Kingston. I live outside the village of Odessa surrounded by farms and countryside.
Now if anyone would be kind enough to disclose that they've never been tagged here, I will be most happy to bestow that honour on them!

I spent 93-98 in the United States Marine Corps after realizing that although I made good money as a welder, I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life. I did more computer and electronics stuff in the Corps and when I got out I tried the civilian world and realized I didn't like that either.

I became a 4th generation cop in 1999, so I guess it was in my blood. I divorced my first wife when I was in the Corps because unfortunately she liked the Marines more than I did. My oldest son is from this marriage. I have full custody of him and raised him by myself for the first 3.5 years and then I met my second and hopefully last wife. We had our daughter in 2000 and our son in 2003. I'm in school, double majoring in Criminal Justice and Computer Science. I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel and my wife graduates in May with her B.S. of Nursing.

I'm starting to se some returns on my photography investments and have had a couple of paid gigs in the recent past. I have a computer/technology consulting and repair business that makes money when I need or want it too so my life is turning out to be what I hoped it too be and maybe a little more. I'm looking at a promotion to Detective soon, but I'm never satisfied even when things are perfect so we'll see what the Good Lord has in store. Because without him I am nothing.

Thanks for the tag Gugarci, I'm working on finding someone to tag now.

I was getting a little worried. I heard Osama was getting ready to be tagged next. I was planning on keeping this short. But since you people, that's right I said you people, decided to tag me on page 21, I will take this time to air out my garbage. ;)

My name is Bill. I'm 43 years old. I was born in Havana Cuba in 1963. I lived there until I was 6 years old. At that time my father finally accumulated enough frequent flyer miles in the Fidel Castro cane fields to get our family a get out of Cuba pass. We would of left the country sooner but my father lacked the necessary skills to make a Chevy float. :D

When I was 6 we moved to Madrid Spain. We couldn't get into the US right away (can you believe that?) and had to choose between Spain and Australia. We lived in Spain for about 3 years while we waited to get into the US legally. We did tons of sight seeing and visited many different churches and castles. I wish I would of been older to fully appreciate all the works of arts I have seen. Most of them are distant memories. Sometimes I wished my father had chosen Australia instead. That Aussie accent is great for meeting chicks. ;)

In February of 1973 we landed in Kennedy Airport. I grew up Union City NJ. That where I met my life partner. We both worked part-time at the local drug store. She was a cashier and I was a delivery/stock boy. We have been together for 24 years and have 2 boys ages 13 & 10. There are people in jail for murder that have been paroled for less time. But I do love her. :)

As of today 4/16/07 I'm in between jobs. To be perfectly honest I'm not bored at all. I'm keeping myself busy. I'm doing a lot of stuff around the house. I recently complete a video game I had been neglecting for months. If I could figure out a way to get paid while I surfed the internet and floated in the pool during the summer I would do it. My back-ground is mainly in Sales/Merchandising. Which is funny, because I really don't like people? But when they help pay the bills I love them. :D

I have no real interesting hobbies unless you consider alcohol and pornography a hobby. ;) But I do enjoy sports, video games, and computers. My favorite teams are the Devils, the Yankees and the Jets, some where along the way I went wrong with the Jets. Although the Devils are stinking it up lately. :hmm:

I also like to watch good movie and TV shows.
In case anyone cares some of my favorite movies include:
The Godfather I/II, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Apocalypse Now, Casino, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Braveheart, Unforgiven,
Favorite TV shows include:
The Sopranos, 24, The Wire, Law & Order (all of them), My Name is Earl, The Office, South Park, Survivor, ER, X-Files, Seinfeld.

And that's all I have to say for now. I've said too much already. As soon as I can find someone who hasn't been tagged I will tag them. I really don't want to tag Osama, so please be patient. :D

Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson said something that some banks log-in page do not look secure ( ex: not beging with https ) but when you submit the form the data is sent secure.

There is a picture of what I really look like, without any edits to the picture. It is found in the Stars Pub forum (one of the many for members only areas) in the thread Am I handsome?

The picture found in »Re: US route 6 (what to see and do) Eastern part is not bad for someone with MS paint.

Anyways, enough about me I will go through those list and see who can I tag. By right back soon...

[Tag your it] http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18138779 yock : Okay, EGeezer See Profile talked me into posting this, so blame him. =)

I subscribe to the concept of "Old School Nouveau," or at least that's what I call it. I know I didn't invent the state-of-mind, but maybe I can claim authority to the term itself. What the heck is it? It's the odd juxtaposition of the new and the old into one eclectic collection of personality traits. Chivalry isn't dead, pop music sucks, but yet my wine bottle opener has almost as many gears as my car's transmission. I think I'm somewhat particular in my tastes, but I suppose it's equally as likely that I'm schizophrenic.

As was mentioned earlier, I fly kites. Specifically, 2-line sport kites. It's an interest I picked while vacationing in North Carolina's Outer Banks. Unfortunately, I became very spoiled out there and have been pretty disappointed with the Ohio weather since my return. Really though, if there was one interest I could mention that defines me it would be music. I started playing piano at 5 years old and now at 26 I'm starting yet another new venture; the guitar. I'm a perpetual student and music is my passion.

With all of that said, and if I still have your attention, it's never possible to disclose everything about One's self in a few paragraphs, nor would it be fun to do so. I believe we can learn more about each other by observing and studying each others' art than by reading our however-interesting biographies. So here's to all of you and the art you share every day, and to the hope that you learn as much from me as I do from all of you.

Who wants to be picked last in gym class?
I agree with your assessment and this is the exact reason I raised the question with one of the Mods, either in an IM or post (I can't remember), when this thread was first started. I inquired as to why we couldn't just continue posting to the »Getting to know you! thread. I was told that the Getting to know you! thread was old and that some people don't like to post to older threads. If you don't believe that being picked last is a factor, I think if you go back and re-read this thread, you'll find a couple of comments about being picked so late in the thread. It's human nature that people will have this reaction. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18128650 Fri, 06 Apr 2007 18:12:22 EDT Re: Spotlight On!

It is truly not a favorites contest there are so many people who visit on an irregular basis or who do not post often and because of that and the length of this thread they maybe inadvertently over looked or assumed to have been tagged which causes the tagging to be not all inclusive.

Most who are tagged are frequent posters or have been in the forum for a long time and their Nome DE plume is a common item and are the first ones that come to mind but that is only normal for any group of people. It may look like the reason is favoritism but it's really not so.

You know the names of close friends but have to think to recall people you don't see often but still know and the same is true here.

I was born in New Mexico and spent most of my childhood moving around that state. I moved to Texas while in high school, and met my wife-to-be ( kidpics See Profile) although we never dated. After high school I went to Texas A&M as a pre-med majoring in microbiology. Barely a sophomore, I left A&M for the Marine Corps -- I needed some discipline (guess my Marine dad wasn't enough lol).

I was in the Corps from 1990-1995, and I worked for one of those alphabet government agencies you can't talk about. It was quite interesting and pretty rewarding. I had the opportunity to live in some pretty cool places, my favorites being Monterey, CA and Harrogate, England. Between Monterey and Harrogate I was temporarily assigned to San Angelo, TX. As God would have it I ran into kidpics See Profile and we've been together ever since (15 years). :)

After leaving the Corps in 1995 I worked at a few places before starting with one of the "major" oil companies in Houston. I've been there for about ten years now, going from back-office IT engineering to now infrastructure project management (although I'm still a techie at heart -- pushing paper kills me). My expertise is security and cross-platform integration (Unix/Linux/Windows mostly).

As kidpics See Profile said, we have four great children. I love them all more than I could ever have imagined, though they tell me I act like a Marine drill sergeant. lol Tough love I guess...

God has blessed me in so many ways, I can't even begin to count them.

Well, it's been 2 days since tagging Reub with no response, so how about Jason Levine See Profile.

I'm 31 years old. I've been married to my beautiful wife Beth for 6 years come this June. Together we have a wonderful son Noah. We're also expecting another son in May. Only 6-8 weeks to go!

My day job is Webmaster for Northeast Health. In my free time, I run Jason's Toolbox and PCQandA.com.

My non-web development hobbies include photography and gardening.The latter I've been getting into as a means of improving my selection of macro-photography subjects.

I believe no__1__here See Profile hasn't been tagged, so I'll tag him next.

EDIT: Took me a bit to find a picture of me. Here I am at Sesame Street Live with Noah (in the "balls" shirt) and his friend Isaac (in the overalls).

EDIT #2: I can't believe I forgot one of my other big non-web development hobbies: Cooking. I love trying out new dishes and coming up with new recipes. Beth puts up with this to a point, but sometimes she'll veto my attempts before I even try it. Usually my dishes come out pretty good (with the notable exception of a Tempeh/Bok Choy stir fry that wound up in the garbage).

I'm a senior at Evanston Township High School. I love tinkering with things. I especially like computers. I know a bit of computer programing, and will write some odd and small program from time to time. I also love anime, and I'd rate Fullmetal Alchemist as one of my favorite.

[Tag your it] http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17996274 Jodokast96 : All right, what to say about me? Well, my name is Joe, and pictured with me is Roxy, our Boxer that passed away this past September. I'm 31 and a father of two girls, ages 4 and 8 (who are featured in this weeks »[Retouch] Artify #123), with my girlfriend of over 9 years, and we've recenty adopted two new Boxers, Reggie (9 mos.) and Beauty (2 1/2 yrs.). I work as a baker, and have been employed with the same company for almost 14 years. I live in Gloucester Twp., Camden County, NJ, which is a 20 minute straight run down the highway from Philadelphia in one direction, and a 45 minute run to Atlantic City in the other.

My interests are many, so I don't devote endless hours to any particular one. Tops among them are being the computer whiz amongst family, friends, and co-workers (not great, but better than them), military tech (mostly aviation), and reading (Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts, Dean Koontz, and Star Wars novels top that list). I'm also a bit of a fire buff, having three uncles that are/were career fire fighters in the Camden Fire Department. In high school through my early 20's I played bass, but have gotten away from it over the years, though I still mess around every now and then. I'm not a big sports fan, but I LOVE hockey.

I'm sure I left some stuff out, but anyone here that knows me a little can tell you that I sometimes get carried away and post on and on and on. Next up I tag reub2000 See Profile.

My name is Robert, although only my mother ever called me that. My friends call me Bobby, mainly because my father was always called Bob so Bobby stuck. I'm 45 years old and single. I work as a mechanic to make a living and am an avid NASCAR fan. I'm Very new to the hobby that cannot be mentioned, about 3 months now, but I really enjoy it.

My main passion is music. I have a cd collection of over 2000 cds (Bought not downloaded). I play drums in a blues/rock band called "Jack Butler"

»www.jackbutlerband.com

We've played some clubs in NYC like CBGB, The Continental, Kenny's Castaway and others in the NY/NJ area. We've also played with many fine NJ bands, "Take The Fifth" (Bassman442's band) being one that comes to mind. Because my father was a drummer and taught me how to play I used to play in Bagpipe bands when I was younger (yes, I wore a kilt) and traveled all along the east coast and Canada for competitions. Then taught myself to play a drumset and rock and roll took over. :)

Of course, I also enjoy computers and graphics work with photoshop. I use to also design and build web pages for awhile (who didn't). I also have drawn all my life which I really enjoy.

My name is Tom I am 35 yrs old and I currently live in Sioux Falls SD. I was born in a small town in NW Iowa not far from here. I will not mention the town but will tell you if you enjoy frozen treats of all kinds you may be able to guess the town.

I have been married to a wonderful woman for the 11 years (12 this fall :) ) and we have 4 very active children. Their ages range from 11 to 4 yrs old.

I enjoy getting outdoors especially in the summer, a good book, good song and good company. Of course we all know there is the other pastime that cannot be mentioned.

In my younger days I tried my hand as a lighting tech for local/regional rock band, worked in an apparel factory, worked retail (10 years or so) and for a computer manufacturer. I currently work as a sales rep.

The pic is not too great because I am not usually in front of the camera. It was taken last summer.

[Tag your it] http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17976105 rockhounds_5 : Hi all,

Sorry I'm late to the game, but have gotten a new computer with vista and have been swearing ever since.

My name is Malcolm and I am 49 years young. I was born in Charleston, SC, but lived in St. Louis, New Orleans and spend most of my youth growing up in Monroe, LA. I've been married to Pam for 23 wonderful years. Pam was born in Germany and grew up in the Middle East (Libya, Saudi) and Greece. We've three children, Adam (19), Corey (17), and Erin (14). We have been living in Lewisville, Texas since 1985.

We were both geologists in another life, hence the name Rockhounds. We met at work. Pam left the oil patch in 1987 and I left in 1999 after going back to school and getting my MCSE. I now work for AT&T as an overworked and underpaid analyst. I try to find time in my busy life to shoot a few photos now and again. I started photography back in the late 60's when my Dad gave me his old German bellows camera (120). Can't remember the name but it took pretty good photos.

We enjoy travelling, and tend to go either to Northern New Mexico (where I did my field work as a geology student) or Colorado. We are itching to travel someplace new, but have yet to decide where. We want to drive the CanAm Highway when we retire. I've heard and seen that it is beautiful. I also want to go to see the Canadian Rockies (Banff, Jasper, etc.). I would also like to spend time outside the US when feasible. We plan to travel to Europe when my daughter graduates from high school. My wife has family in the UK and Germany that we could stay with. We also have a very good friend who lives in Trondheim, Norway and has been begging for us to come see him. Soon, very soon.

I had back surgery in 2004 which failed, and have been in chronic pain ever since. I'm scheduled for a 2 layer fusion in June of this year. Keeping my fingers crossed that this will work.

Thanks Chelle13 for tagging me. I don't know who else to tag. Will work on this.

Regards to all and thanks for sharing your passion.

My name is Konrad and I was born and raised in South Florida (I'm like a spectacle walking down the street) in the year 1900 and [2(100/4)+30-5] :p I have lived here my whole life and have hit most of the cities (Mia Lakes, Mia Shores, Miramar, etc.) at some point in my life. I am half Jamaican by my father and half Bahamian by my mother. I used to travel to the Caribbean every summer and have seen the east islands but have yet to visit the Gulf side, I will soon though. I am married 5 years now and have a 3 year old (candid in my gallery) with another on the way. :D

I love sports and was "most athletic boy" several summers in a row at the Y. I came to love basketball and guy named Abdul-Jabbar was my favorite until someone told me about this young guy from UNC who had the best moves I'd ever see. They were right and so began my quest after my idol. I practiced everyday from then on. I played in HS and had the 2nd highest 3pt-FG% on the team and the highest FT% in the those years. I was going to University Of Florida before an ankle fracture took me out for 5 months in August and I wasn't ready for the season my senior year.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I love boating, fishing (line & snorkel), cycling, auto racing, running, and I have been bowling in a league for the last 5 years.

I practice(d) Martial Arts (Kodenkan Jujutsu and Goju-Ryu Karate) and enjoyed sparring with my friends from other schools (TaeKwonDo, Mui-Tai). I am into art and pursued graphic arts in College before switching to IT. I currently work as a System Analyst for a Worldwide food service provider. I founded the site SportCompactMiami.com with some friends who bailed on it and I continued on. This gives me tons of chances to do the unmentionable. ;)

I think there's people still tagged so I'll step aside now.

I was the only one of ten kids with blue eyes. My father detested me for that and beat me bloody regularly for even the slightest infraction with what ever was at hand, wood stick, broom handle, belt, or razor strap (which he broke on my back). His favorite was the washing machine drain hose. I had a fearsome childhood. My dad and I were partners in the logging business. He hired me out for $5.00 a day plus room and board. I got the room and board and he got the $5.00.

All that toughened me up just right for the Marine Corps. I enlisted as soon as I could. I knew what sacrifice and pain were and could take anything the Marines could dish out. I made corporal 2 months out of boot camp, --unheard of in the Marines before that. I was duty driven, quick, strong as a bull and ill tempered, --just what they wanted. You would have had to kill me to stop me as I went to the very edge with everything I did. I worked security at an ammunition depot for a while then got a lot of special duty during the Korean War like chasing prisoners (our own) from Korea to Japan for courts martial. Most for desertion, some for murder, others drug trafficking, rape. Only the most serious offenses with most likely life sentences that could not be prosecuted in Korea and had to be dealt with by the navy flag at Yokosuka, Japan.

The Tokyo-Yokohama-Yokosuka conglomerate is the largest population area of the world. We would turn our prisoners over to the Marine barracks brig while we snuck a few days unauthorized liberty before we turned them over to the navy. We had first priority on any transportation going but coming back all we had was "first available" priority which put everyone else ahead of us. On one such trip I was on liberty walking down the street in Yokohama and walked right into my brother who was a sailor off the CVE Rendova aircraft carrier. Now how small is the world after all! I wasn't even supposed to be there and neither was he. Fate folks, fate. I called for special permission to stay a few more days and got it in the form of TAD, temporary additional duty so I didn't have to give up any accrued leave.

After that I worked with the Chinese Nationalist army intelligence until I captured a top Communist agent and a flunky trying to infiltrate a hush hush area. They sent me home immediately for not killing them as were my standing orders. I was threatened with a court martial for not killing them but because it turned out to be a top banana I got out of the trouble. I just couldn't kill them in cold blood since I had them surrendered and flat on the ground after flanking and outsmarting them. After the war I got lots of offers to re-enlist and to go in a career with the state department but I turned it all down. The last honor was to be J F Kennedy's body guard for a day one week before he was elected president.

With all that behind me I managed a boring lifetime in the real estate, insurance and construction business. I had lots of entrepreneurial efforts at the same time, multitasking everything and was a lousy husband to an unfaithful wife who was, unknown to me, a secretive call girl for our entire 20 year marriage --and I didn't know it! I lost everything trying to save the marriage and gave away all my businesses for nothing. It was a bitter 20 year pill I didn't understand until it was over. You best friends won't tell you about the most important things. Sad.

I have three historical novels I started and am nearly finished with until I got the news about 5 1/2 years ago that I had a inoperable cerebral aneurysm that was certain to kill me. I stopped writing and took up the unmentionable hobby instead so I could see and record some of the beauty around me. I also am losing my eyesight from a bayonet wound that damaged the retina in my right eye. That wound most likely caused the aneurysm as it is in the exact same area. Then along came the University of Wisconsin hospital with a new technique that may be able repair the aneurysm but with a high degree of risk and was I willing to take a 60/40 chance. I took no time at all to think it over and YES, it was a huge success. The threat no longer exists but I still am dealing with loss of vision. My left eye is very good but the right eye is just about gone.

So I live alone. My friends --weren't. Most of them are dead now anyway. I just may finish my novels now but I am so wrapped up in my other hobby I don't know how I could.

I'll try to find someone to tag soon. :-)
I found a gem to tag and am waiting for an answer. Stay tuned!

GypsyRN has accepted the nomination!! :D

My name is Hank and I live on Cape Cod Mass, I have been living here since 1982. My original home was in Brooklyn NY the Bay Ridge, Boro Park area in quite residential and an old family neighbor hood.

I am currently single in my mid 50's and have no children but I have 3 very amusing and interesting cats a 16 year old an 11 year old and a 5 year old.

I went to New Utrecht HS you all know it as the school shown on the opening of Welcome back Carter.

I attended RCA Institute of Electronics then a Four year stint in the Army maintaining nuclear missile bases and support equipment, left as a SSG E-6. Latter I worked for Western Electric then as a police officer, owned my own foreign car parts store then from that in Westchester to Here at Cape Cod. Where I have done construction and concrete foundation work, Commercial wiring for new malls as well as truck and cement truck driving. Bar tending and a Bouncer also a chef in a four star restaurant. I enjoy cooking as a hobby and art form.

I have fun doing Electronics and Building computers as well as Graphics, Photography, Cod and Deep sea fishing, also shell fish a bit of lobstering. I do a good bit of reading addicted to Good Sci/Fi novels.

Due to the fact of a service connected injury which has gotten worse over the years after 3 operations I am on a Veterans pension.

I have been here at DSLR BBR for seven years and was a Mod and host to 3 forums.

I went back to college for a few years to do graphic and computer systems and a multitude of office and programing courses. While there I did some non credit teaching and tutoring. I enjoyed that. But Graphics and my tongue in cheek style give me pleasure and relaxation.

I did a major amount of Black and White film photography and am now starting out on a big change to Digital.

But Enough all ready.

Thanks for the tap.

Tag your it I hope you are not done already

First, family history :P -

The first picture is me and my wife. I met my wife in early 2003 working at Burger King. She was my boss. I hated her guts. Then, for some reason, things changed, and I fell for her. Long story short, we had only been together about 6 months before I moved in with her.

The second picture is our daughter (hers from a previous relationship). Her biological father is a deadbeat, as such, I am the only daddy she has every known. She was born on Thanksgiving Day, 2002.

In March of 2004, we found out she was pregnant. That would be the little bugger in the third picture now. He was born January 3rd, 2005, and has been a little monster since day one :)

On January 4th, 2005, I asked Amber to Marry Me. Her exact words were "Of course I am going to say yes stupid." May 5th, 2005, we were married.

More about just me -

I have been a computer junky since about the age of 6, when my school installed their first computers. I immediately began begging my parents for one every day. 2 years later, we had our first 486 computer. I tore the thing apart promptly to see how it worked :). Ever since then, the majority of my hobby expenditures have been on computers (until recently).

Throughout school, I was involved in activities such as drama and choir, choir ultimately leading me to taking a wonderful tour of Europe as part of Sound of America ( »www.soundofamerica.org ) during the summer between my sophomore and junior years. During my last two years of high school I began to take an interest in audio technology and sound engineering. I eventually planned to go to school to become a sound engineer. That all changed when I got with my wife however.

I worked for a couple years to put my wife through school, which, has now payed off. She has a job working for an Insurance company as an accountant. My attempts at school were not so fortunate. I tried on three separate occasions over 5 semesters to take classes and get started in programs. As if I was destined not to ever get a diploma, every single program i entered was promptly canceled 1 semester later. There are now practically *no* form of computer courses at the local community college. Through this unfortunate chain of events, my available financial aid was subsequently "used up". Any further schooling would have to be paid for out of pocket. And almost none of the classes I had taken were transferable credits.

So cue part 3 -
I was a stay at home dad for about a year and a half. Loved every minute of it. But eventually, as all good things do, It came to an end. I am now a customer specialist at best buy, in the home theater department. (So hey, any of you Washington folks want a good deal on a TV, come in and see me in the Burlington best buy and mention BBR :).)

While working there, and reading here is where my love for the unmentionable hobby grew. I had always it, but never thought I could manage myself. Some really cool people around here changed my mind.

Anyways, that's about all there is to me. I probably wrote way too much, but oh well.

I am going to tag HFB1217 See Profile

[Tag your it] http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17969495 Cody : I'm Cody! I live in Washington State, I was born in Bremerton on the Navy base, then lived In most states with a Navy base while growing up. I spent most of my life in Connecticut, but I'm catching up on it in years being back in Washington. After a friend passed away, I decided to do some things I'd been wanting to do, but always had reasons to put off. This is me after jumping from a plane :D The Second is the live-in g/f and I at a friend's Wedding Reception. I currently work at an online pharmacy, with plans to become a pharmacist, though I put in my two weeks and am starting at a machine shop (go figure). Anyway, I'll be back in school in Spring (crosses fingers - I've already signed up for class). I'm generally pretty laid back, though find myself sometimes thinking a bit too "mean" due to the work I have to do (sales can be so cut throat :/) The job change is partially in hopes to remedy this, because I like to think of myself as a generally nice guy. I play Guitar (have been for 9 ish years, though off and on. More seriously lately - a friend is in a band that toured with GWAR and Lamb of God amongst others in 05 which kind of inspired me to look further into things I want to do), Drums, and have in the past been known to toot a trumpet or two. I love snowboarding and skateboarding, though haven't in quite a while - life gets so busy! My dad passed away from cancer on my 12th birthday, which is kind of a bummer because we were super close - but after a while I decided to try to just look on the up side of situations, and have adopted that to most things in life - he was great while he was here! Though turning 21 this weekend will be interesting... Anyway, I play WoW once in a while (though my girlfriend is addicted to it now and I'm impartial =x) but can mainly be caught working out, jamming, shooting (photos), singing (sometimes off key) and trying to enjoy whatever's around me. I tag DreamWraith See Profile! I look forward to reading more!

I am a lifeguard at the local pool and my hobbies include, swimming, hiking, drinking coffee, drinking coffee with friends, watching "Friends", and taking ridiculous amounts of pictures ;o)I recently got interested in photography because my husband bought me a nice camera and it turns out I have a knack for this kind of stuff. I would like to post more often but am a bit shy like my husband ;o) We do however plan on opening our own Photography business soon, I'm a little nervous because it's new and unknown territory, but I think it will be good.

Well, first off, my name is Rob (Dexter is my dog's name).

I'm 36 years old & live in Beverly, MA. My wife and I just moved to our new house in January and we absolutely love it. We're a 5 minute walk to the ocean, though with the recent temperatures here, we haven't done too much walking! We've been married for almost 2 years, have a wonderful 6 month old son and a baby girl on the way.

I work as a Z/OS systems programmer. I've worked my way up through the ranks, beginning as a reel-reel tape mounter, over the past 15 years. My job gives me the flexibility to work from home, so I'm able to spend more time with my growing family.

I love the outdoors. I probably spend a little too much time out there, doing the thing I'm not supposed to talk about.

I'd like to hear from Pistolpete

Certainly everyone knows the name by now, and the fact that cars are in my life in some strange way! I worked for my father's heavy equipment repair company in Colorado as a teenager and out of school, and then worked at a couple Cat dealers (in Colorado and California) as well as a few auto shops. You name it, I got stuck doing it. Took time from all that to get an ASEE in electronics, and work for the worlds largest security and oldest security company. This got me training in firefighting and advanced first aid but no where near EMT, just enough to drive the ambulance and set traction splints and birth babies, you know, the usual daily routine! lol

Put in a stint doing tech support for a large ISP (the ugly one starting with a) good enough at that to be a supervisor, then moved to collecting money for a large wireless company (the "A" one). No we didn't call people and yell, we were the billing department and we were also outsourced. How many folks know the difference between outsourcing and "off-shoring"?
Current warranty /arbitration/returns job, brought me to where the work is. Better half has 2 kids PR (Pre-Rob) from her 1st marriage. Some day I'll tell you where we met!!! LOL

Not big on putting my pic online, due to weirdo’s I've met in some of the car groups on Usenet. So this is the best I have besides the avatar. We can’t mention the unmentionable past time, but lets just say that's a Yashica 35 SLR in my hand.

If no ones tagged Dexter yet, I'd like to hear from him.

Hi Gang… My name is Ronnie… go figure. I am 51 years old… been married to the same lady for 26 years. I have two wonderful daughters and one grand-daughter that is the light of my life. I was born and raised in Texas and have lived in Carrollton (Dallas) for the past 26 years. I have been in the Telecommunications Industry for a little over 25 years… 10 years of running the Telecom/IT department for a large electronics company and 15 years on the sales side of things. My second job is running the sound board and video at my Church. I have also been involved with the Appalachia Service Project in West Virginia as part of mission work through our Church. Before settling in the Telecom field my background was fairly diverse… I have worked in the oilfield, broke horses, managed a rock-n-roll night club, truck driver, computer operator and field engineer… told you it was diverse.

Other than the hobby we are not supposed to mention… I enjoy target shooting (pistol) and anything to do with the water. I am also a weather buff… I have a weather website »mysite.verizon.net/respdvgs/ and do weather team volunteer reporting for our local Fox affiliate. This interest really came from being raised on the Gulf Coast of Texas and going through two hurricanes. I have been totally fascinated by the weather ever since. Before picking the unmentionable hobby back up I was into extreme PC building and over-clocking… got out of that after my water-cooled PC sprang a leak and pretty much destroyed my whole system… (water and electronics do not mix) I love to travel and my most favorite two places are Hawaii (Kauai) and Colorado. Plus, of course, browsing this board… my wife accuses BBR as being the other woman.

I think that is enough on me… I have really enjoyed this thread and getting to know and see everyone. What a talented and diverse group!! Let’s see… our next victim should be LaurieE See Profile I have sent her an IM letting her know she has been tagged.

I've been married for 17 yrs and have two sons. One is a few months shy of 4 and the other is 14 yrs old.

I have 2 part time jobs where I teach computers to children from K through 8 grade. I work at a school and an after-school program - been doing that for 7 yrs and really can't imagine doing anything else, I love it.

I had an accident when I was 11 that left me blind in my right eye. I sometimes wonder if it affects my other hobby that we aren't allowed to mention here, but I plug along at it :)

Interesting, I'm not totally blind in my right eye but darn close to it. Not due to an accident though, was just born with an eye that doesn't work well. Left is 20/20. :huh:
Since we are telling eye stories...

I was born with a condition called Duane Syndrome in my left eye. I can see just fine out of it, but the nerves that move my eye never developed properly. My left eye is always "stuck" straight forward. So while most people read by moving their eyes back and forth I have to move my whole head. It causes some trouble every so often (like looking over your shoulder while backing up) but nothing too major. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17880519 Thu, 22 Feb 2007 12:19:15 EDT Re: Spotlight On!

Well, let's see...

My name is Mike and I'm 24, living in Columbus, OH (But I hate the Buckeyes ;-). I am a HUGE sports fan and root for the Bulls, Cubs, Niners and Iowa Hawkeyes!

I grew up in the wonderful land of Argentina. I lived for one year in a town called Venado Tuerto, which translated means One Eyed Deer.

I have been happily married now for almost 4 months. My wife is a social worker at a nursing home. Currently I am working as an employment counselor for a local non-profit that seeks to help refugees who arrive here in Columbus.

Our goal is to one day return to Latin America where we hope to work with the poor, providing them with both spiritual and physical aid.

The pics are from our honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, when we went zip-lining in the Mexican jungle!

Well my real name is Jordan and I am 30 years old. I have been married to my beautiful wife Paula for just over 2 years now. We still don't have any kids, not sure if we want any either. We bought our first home a couple of years ago in a beautiful town outside of Ottawa, Ontario called Pakenham. I work for a IP Communications company called Mitel based out of Kanata, Ontario. In my spare time I enjoy watching hockey (go Sens go), working/playing on my computers (to many if you ask the wife) snowmobiling and photography of course.

Here is a picture of my wife and I after hiking to the top of the ski hill across the road from us.

I picked up photography as a hobby, mainly because I like taking pictures of thing, and it gets me out of the house when it's not raining in Washington State. I work for an undisclosed electronics maker. I repair products customers have problems with, or end up breaking.

I enjoy working with gadgets(computers and what not), fishing (when I can), spending time with my wife and kids, and watching action flicks. I think that's about it ..

My name is Bryon (pronounced NOT Byron). I am 46, born and raised in Indianapolis. I am a father, husband, son, son-in-law, mentor, colleague, and friend. I've been an "evangelist" of technology in education (professional manual reader) for nearly twenty five years. I'm in my ninth year of managing the technology at a small, independent preK-12 school. Lots to keep up with and not enough time to do it.

I'm a avid reader and consider myself a lifelong learner. My parents had a small company designing and building trade show exhibits, so I had an early and constant exposure to all kinds of paint, metal, plastic, and woodworking tools. It became plain to see that I did not have my father's artistic or creative talent. I did well in typesetting, silk screening, and drafting, but I loathed photography in school. I've ended up being a function over form engineering type.

Right after college, I got married and rode the wave of microcomputers - the career lasted, the marriage didn't. Met a wonderful woman, married her, and settled down. I don't think I fully became an adult until my daughter was born in 1999.

We live a fairly simple life, and sacrifice quite a bit to keep my daughter attending the private school I work at (class of 2018).
Our family has 80 acres of woods with a 10 acre pond within 40 miles of home, so we camp, canoe, kayak, fish, and relax there often. Our Vizsla "Rosie" is nearly a year old and she's like having another child in the house, so dog obedience training has become the latest family hobby.

Three bits of trivia:
a. I live less than a half mile from the house I grew up in;
b. Larry Bird was a senior at ISU when I was a freshman;
c. I also just found out that Rosie will be appearing in GunDog Magazine due out March 13th.

Thanks for reading, next up should be Rubicon See Profile...

Well I was born in Ashland, OR in 1967 and spent most of my life in Southern OR. I moved to Southern CA about 9 years ago and started my career in the credit union I.T. field.

I'm twice divorced but have met that very special someone who completes my life. I love horses (I have 2, a Thoroughbred and a Quarterhorse, and my GF has 3), I have been involved in the unmentionable hobby since high school where I started with a $20 35mm I bought at a yard sale while vacationing in AK one summer. It had been swamped from a canoe tipping over and never refurbished and took some of the best pics I've seen.

My passion now is my horses as can be seen by visiting »www.davidshorses.com and of course the unmentionable hobby. I try to get as much time as I can with my horses and playing around with my camera which isn't easy with an 84 mile commute one-way. I also dabble as a webmaster for the Down Syndrome Association of Southern Oregon (»www.dsaso.org/) of which my younger brother and his wife are board members.

I'm a pretty busy guy but always find time for relaxing.

I'll try to post a picture of myself later. I don't have my camera with me.

My name is Brad. I'm a totally blind 27 year old telephone operator for the VA hospital in Columbia, MO. I've been totally blind since I was about 10. I've used computers with speech synthesizers since I can remember. (I remember a synth for an old apple II). I current use a program called JAWS. (»www.freedomsceintific.com)

I can't think of much more to say, since I'm at work now.

Congruent with the "what you see is what you get" spirit of the Net, though my nym here is altermatt, I am neither named Matt, nor altered :).

I'm an attorney with a strong interest in technology/privacy/security issues, comfortably in my 50s and happily involved in a 'alternative' open relationship with a wonderful Geek Goddess who used to be active on DSLR, and dragged me in when she left here, opening a whole new world for me, especially this forum. Born and bred in 'da Bronx' though I moved to the suburbs after law school, and living proof that "you can take the boy outta da Bronx, but you can't take da Bronx outta the boy": into fast fancy cars and bikes, do-wop, cannolis and egg creams, and the streets, in spite of the three piece suits ;).

Never lost most of my 60s idealism so am the token pro-bono poster boy for my conservative law firm; enjoy hiking/climbing, x-country skiing, jazz, and travelling, another perk of my job. And of course, the-passion-which-shall-not-be-named.

As well as photography :).

If it's okay, I'd like to hear more about alphapointe See Profile, as I've been fascinated by his posts here, if he "reads" this thread and the IM. If so, maybe he can tag Borborpa; if he doesn't post by tomorrow evening, I'll revise.

Well, as most know my name is Jamey. I suffer from RSD ( »www.rsdhope.org ). I am 35 years old. I was born in PA and grew up here, but spent a big part of my life on the Eastern Shore, Assateague Island and Ocean City, MD and the Chesapeake Bay. I did alot of fishing needless to say :)

I originally started school for Marine Biology with a minor in Animal Behavior but was cut short due to some unfortunate financial reasons. I also did the Down East course at the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School, talk about a blast! I got to climb Otter Cliffs and live (and row) up and down the entire Coast of Maine, what a beautiful place, honestly is Heaven on Earth! I then started working on my career in law enforcement. I graduated for my ACT 235 at the PA Police Academy and while waiting for placement testing I did a stint as a Fugitive Recovery running warrants and worked on a Security/Firefighting/Trauma/Hazmat Team. Then I became disabled and later diagnosed with RSD. So I went back to school yet again for Computer Science but was cut short by the RSD.

I started the unmentionable when I was around 15 or so and learned from a Pro who was a family friend. Did a few jobs and got burned out for a while, until I met my Wife.

I married my Wife Jen 4 years ago and couldn't be happier.

I also schooled for Gemology.. still working on it actually, to be able to help my Wife with her Gemstone/Jewelry business and of course help her with her Photography business as well.

My hobbies used to consist of rock/mountain climbing, surfing, snowboarding, hiking/camping, rock/fossil hunting, photography, shooting, computers and a few other things... basically anything for an adrenalin rush!!!

Now my hobbies consist of fishing, photography, shooting, working on cameras/lenses, silversmithing, jewelry making, gemstones, fossils, and BBR (hehe). Of course, DigiTools, which is my Action Sets for Adobe PS I design and work on for my Wife to sell commercially as well as some of which I post here for Free.

We have no children, yet :(, of the human persuasion... but... we do have 8 cats and 1 dog (Bailey the Bassett Hound) that we love dearly and they might as well be children, lol. My little baby boy is Fluffy.. aka. Fluffalottapus Rex... some of you have seen this monster as a baby and now his 30 some pound (prolly closer to 40) grown (growing) self, lol, he is huge!!!

Not sure what else to say... lol.

I will tag borborpa See Profile.

Edit: Forgot a picture, lol.

Edit #2: Since Borborpa evidently hasn't had time yet, how about I will tag altermatt See Profile instead, and then he can tag Borborpa ;)

My names Jason (shocking, isnt it ;) )

I tend to gravitate towards hobbies that require gobs and gobs of cash. (Im not addicted, I can quit any time I want)

I love anything having to do with flight (Thats me co-piloting a good friends Ultralight over Lake Berryessa) I also design, build, fly, and write reviews of various model aircraft.

I live in Napa, CA (born and raised) Married my wife at the ripe old age of 19, and almost 9 years later, were still having a blast.

I Owned a photo studio in napa for about 3 years, and altho a wonderful learning experience, I finally had to go back to the land of the gainfully employed, Im currently an Engineering Tech at Dey Labs, a pharmaceutical company here ("Epi-pen", self injectable pen for anaphylaxis, is one of our products)

No kids as of yet, but we do have 8 birds. Actually, we have quite a zoo, fish, snakes, tarantulas, fire-belly toads, pet mice (and the aforementioned birds)...

A brief list of some of my goofy hobbies: Brewing (beer), Pool, photog.. er... We cant discuss that here ;) , computers, music (I Play Bass and keys), cooking, (and as follows) Eating, general electronics geekery, anything flight related, metalworking (new mill should be here in a couple weeks), Guns (Not a big hunter, just love seeing how accurate I can get with these things.. Plus blowing up water filled paint cans, and milk jugs is just cool), and pretty much anything else thats fun.

So, thats Jason in a nutshell. (Did I just call myself a nut?)

Okay.. Next up, I have to go for the tool guru Gemologist See Profile ... Spotlights on you!

[Tag your it] http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17820779 DavisPhotog : dja See Profile, thanks for your interest. Since I'm it, here's my bio and pic.

My name is Andrew, and I'm a 20 year-old student currently in my third year of studies at the University of California, Davis, affectionately known as UC Davis, or even UCD. I'm seeking two degrees: a BA in French and a BA in Psychology.

My interests, besides the one-that-should-not-be-named, include aviation, computers, tennis, running, and biking. I am also very much into music, and despite owning two guitars and having played for 5 years, I'm not all that great at playing them. (I still can't read sheet music).

My friends and roommates call me an introvert with exhibitionist qualities. I'm not much into parties or socializing with a ton of people at once, but I have my own ways of reaching out and being social.

I was born and raised in the SF Bay Area. I like big cities, but I also can't stand not being able to see a big field of grass and trees. I need my balance; since my Mom moved to Humboldt county 3 years ago (where we also have a lot of family), I've had many diverse experiences with nature and cities alike.

I'm a fairly young guy...30 or so...I grew up in Northern Maine, Bangor to be precise. (Yes, I've met Stephen King...at a stoplight even) Since the job market up there stinks I joined the Navy and did 4 years there. I worked on weapons systems & small arms. I trained people how to shoot also, not a bad job.

It was a great experience and easily the hardest work I've ever done, I'd do it again. I'm of the opinion that it should be mandatory to serve a year or so..but that's another thread ;-)

So while in the Navy I met a nice lady...When I left the Military I married her and moved to Chicago. (She later got her PhD from U Chicago.) I took a job as a manager doing Corporate Security for LaSalle Bank in Chicago. I did neat things like fingerprinting and investigations and removing violent employees from the buildings. I also ran a access control system with 30,000+ employees. I was a geek with a gun, though nobody would say it to my face for some reason..

After that job I made the connection of a lifetime and got a job as a Homeland Security contractor, I still do this to the day. It's a great job that has taken me everywhere. I see my boss maybe once a year and have no co-workers. I have no set hours or office, life is good.

I moved to PA in 2005 to support a new job for the wife...shortly after we got divorced. We had two great kids together.

Right now I still have the same job and cover anywhere from Pittsburgh PA to New York City down to VA Beach...I'm everywhere and get a lot of good chances to do the thing we are not allowed to speak of...

Since my divorce I met a nice new person who seems to be able to deal with my mood swings and demanding behavior. You may have seen her in my gallery..



I've always thought Mr. Zakooldude a.k.a. DavisPhotog See Profile was interesting, so I tag him.

My name is Cindy, I'm single, no kids, and I'll be 55 (gasp) in April. Aside from the unmentionable, my passion is cats. I think I probably was a cat in a previous life. So, in keeping with my usual luck, I'm extremely allergic to them. :D I'd rather sneeze than live without cats, so I take shots and lots of antihistamines. I have 6 that live indoors with me (that's the youngest, Kudzu in the photo above, taken this past December), and I feed, vet, spay & neuter a colony in an alley near my home.

The other photo was taken in Georgetown, Grand Cayman last February. I went there on a cruise that I won in a sales contest at work. I won again this year, so I'll be going again the first of next month. :)

Speaking of work...I began my career as a music teacher. My degree is in music education, with emphasis in voice. (Funny that there are so many musicians in this thread.) Since choir is one of the first programs cut when schools need to save money, I decided to try and find something more stable. I switched to banking, and have been there ever since...28 years with the same company. I manage a team of 3 corporate trust relationship managers and 3 assistants. We handle bond issues for corporations and municipalities. Not the sexiest job in the world, but it pays the bills.

In the winters here there's not a lot to shoot, so I've been filling the time with little projects around my house. The fact that I have no idea what I'm doing doesn't slow me down, but it does make things interesting. :D Since my condo is in a building that's almost 100 years old, there's no shortage of projects. (If only the same could be true for the money to fund them.)

And now without further ado, I tag SND2005 See Profile

My name is Chris, Christian by faith and the grace of God, computer geek by trade.

Grew up in the wonderful state of Minnesota - and as of July this year I will have lived 1/2 of my life there, and half here in California (18 years each - you do the math)

I've been married for 10 years this summer to a wonderful southern girl... we have 2 boys whom are the subject of probably 90% of my unmentionable hobby. They don't get posted up much, I'm a bit paranoid about pictures of my kids circulating the internet...

I'm a first line manager in Graphics Software Validation for the worlds largest chip manufacturer and I have a less than 2 mile commute in California! :) (other than people who work at home, how many have that!)

I spend most of my time with my family, going to church, working and the occasional travelling..

I'm 19 years old. For the past 5 months I've been working as a hospital valet. First at a rather large hospital in Fort Wayne, now at a smaller outlying community hospital. I only have to see my boss to pick up my paycheck. :)

I've traveled extensively, mostly in the west. California, Utah, Arizona & a little of colorado, montana, and idaho. Skiing is about the only hobby that rivals that other one in terms of passion. I've lived all my life in boring old fort wayne indiana, so its nice to get out somewhere where you can just be alone in the wilderness. One day, I'm going to conquer the Appalachian trail. (A Walk in the Woods is the inspiration for this goal: »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Walk_in_the_Woods ) I'm an avid reader, been on a singer-songwriter kick as far a music tastes go (elliot smith, ryan adams, etc).

Damn its hard writing about yourself.

If that person didn't want to share (perfectly understandable--one of the nice things about forums like this is the ability to just stand on the merits of your posts without preconceived notions), s/he could just say "I'd rather not" and tag someone else. Starting "companion threads" to "sign up" shouldn't really be necessary if we agree to respect someone's right not to share.

Let's see. I'll be 39 next week. Never been married, no children. I met the love of my life in this very forum. I've been dating ABR See Profile for a little over three years now. You can see the beginning of everything in this thread here:

»Getting to know you!

Work-wise, I spent almost 20 years in the banking industry, both on the banking and external bank consulting side. Most of my roles have been in the technology arena, so I'm a real tech geek at heart. As a bank consultant, I got to travel around the world on someone else's nickel (not bad!). I'm no longer a banker (yay! b/c it's boring!). Currently, I work for a marketing firm & I manage a database for Gatorade, which is a lot of fun.

For fun, I enjoy movies, digital painting, and love to read. I've been in Dallas for almost 14 years & absolutely love it here.

I've met a lot of fantastic people in this forum & have made a lot of wonderful friends here over the years. My only regret is that I haven't been able to get over here to post nearly as much as I used to. I owe a lot to the people that took the time to help me learn some things around here. So I'd like to thank them all right now - you know who you are, so THANK YOU! :)

Now, I'm still waiting to hear back from the person whom I've tagged to be next. If I don't hear from them by the tomorrow morning, I'll tap someone else.

ETA: I've tagged another person this morning & hopefully they will want to play! :)

I’m in my early 40s, was born and raised on a farm in southern Ky, and still live not far from there. I spent a long time in school in Lexington at the Univ. of Kentucky (go Cats!), ending up with a Ph.D. in engineering. Since then I’ve done almost exclusively consulting in environmental remediation (hate it) and process engineering (like it), with some R&D (love it) thrown in. I’ve got a great family (they tolerate me, they must be great), with wife of 17 years and two Lake Wobegonian above-average children who are beginning to enjoy the hobby that can’t be mentioned.

In between project deadlines, travel to meet about project deadlines, and reminding clients that they need to pay because we met their project deadlines, I try to enjoy a certain hobby, sometimes with limited success, most times without success, but always plowing ahead.

Next let’s hear from MLOK5 See Profile.

It's easy to conclude you're right if you never listen to the other side. -John Breaux]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17801982 Fri, 09 Feb 2007 12:46:44 EDT Re: Spotlight On! [Tag you're it] http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17800985 NoelC : Thanks for thinking of me, Sandshark!

Hi Folks! I've recently left my career of 30 years as a software engineer in the corporate world of Dilbert fame and started my own business selling image processing tools.

My loves are my family, animals and nature, and I'm finding myself ever more fascinated by the big wide universe. At a given moment I might be pondering whether gravity is a force in itself, or just a relativistic side effect of perturbation of the time continuum by the presence of a collection of mass. Or I might be hiking around, processing an astrophoto in Photoshop, looking through my telescope, or feeding a duckling. Just recently I've gotten a new RV in which I will be seeking wilderness and dark nighttime skies. Who knows, I might get out there full time one day...

Digital image processing comes pretty easily to me, being rather a computer geek and all.

I've recently joined the ESO team that processes Hubble Space Telescope data into images, and I'm part of a long-running internet collaboration with a great guy in England who's got a dandy little observatory under nighttime skies a fair bit darker than those where I live. Photoshop is my life. :)

Anyway, that's a bit about me. Let's hear from Mikeky!

-Noel

Edit: Oops, didn't read Wayne's original post stating I can't mention anything about Photography (hopefully digital image processing isn't breaking the rules). The above has become a bit more terse as a result.

My age is 52 and though my body reminds me that I'm that age everyday, I still have the mind of a ten year old! ;-) My wife and I have been married for 17 years or 29 years, depending on who you ask. If you ask the Catholic Church, in which we were originally married, it's 29. If you ask the government, it's 17. Yes, that's right. My wife and I were divorced for almost 12 years and neither of us remarried during that time. Happenstance, destiny, fate, kismet, or whatever you want to call it, found us meeting up after living two thousands miles apart during that time. We couldn't be happier and we are blessed with an intelligent and beautiful 16-year-old daughter. In addition, we have two dogs and four cats.

I am in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R) business for 25 years. I love my job and I love our customers because, without them, we don't eat and I couldn't afford my unmentionable hobby! My wife is a registered nurse doing hospice nursing. Prior to my present occupation, I worked as a stock clerk, a security guard (with gun :o), a night janitor cleaning up nightclubs, a keypunch operator, a college student for two years, a counselor and, for eight years, I was on active duty in the U. S. Navy until I was honorably discharged as a Petty Officer First Class (E-6).

For fun, I like to travel, attend plays and concerts, play golf, go fishing, do woodworking, work in our yard, barbecue, drink beer and watch NASCAR (it's a Southern thing), hang out here, and most importantly, the unmentionable hobby. My goal for the next few years is to travel to destinations and small towns across Texas and do my unmentionable hobby. That's about it.

I am 20 turning 21 this July. :) I was born and have lived in Northern California all my life. I am currently working full time in a Pro Lab/Portrait Studio so I'm learning new things everyday. I basically live on a farm, with a horse some cows, chickens, a turkey, pigs and other common house animals. I am not married yet ;) but have had my wonderful girlfriend for over 2 years.

I got into photography right after high school and started to get more serious back at the end of 2005. I decided a while ago I wanted to make some $ doing it and got a job at A portrait studio/lab called Creative Imaging Center. I'm working full time as a Lab Tech for now. It's either this or fixing computers. ;) I love to travel and really love remembering the places I've visited, hence the photography.

Well my photography speaks for its self, can be spontaneous and a little different at times. I'm always looking for new Ideas so be prepared. Well I feel I have babbled enough about my self.

So I would to choose SandShark See Profile!

I am 20 years old, born and raised north of Anchorage, Alaska. My late father significantly influenced my love of traveling. We took kayaking trips down the Yukon River, and spent summers Sea Kayaking in Prince William Sound. He showed me that Alaska is a wonderful place to explore, and I will never stop doing so.

I started playing soccer when i was 5 years old, and have again, been able to travel to many places with various soccer teams. Right after 8th grade I was fortunate enough to play in the Holland Cup, and also spend time in England. Both gorgeous places that I want to see again soon. (of course while being equipped with a certain unmentionable item)

Because Alaska is so dang cold, I love to visit warm places. I have spent time in Central America, namely Guatemala, Belize, and Costa Rica. All experiences that I will never forget.

In addition to soccer and traveling, I enjoy snowmobiling and snowboarding in the winter, hiking in the summer, and playing poker year round.
I go to college in Arizona, studying finance. I hope to get into the real estate business when I graduate.

Also, well driller, tool and die mechanic, pinsetter and pinspotter mechanic, (Brunswick and AMF), NCR serviceman, methods engineer for a manufacturer of power utility transformers and regulators (Wayne, ever run across Line Material round wounds?). These got me money to get through college with degrees in business and Engineering Degree in Business, major in Electrical Engineering, minor in mathematics. Go Bobcats!

A marketing rep with whom I played snooker steered me to IBM and a 25 year career and a buyout with early retirement. I retired twice more, and now freelance with a great group of customers and colleagues in a field I love. I also get to do a little grunt work helping track down bad guys and keeping them from doing bad things.

Recreation? In addition to my freelancing, I socialize, travel, hike, bike, fly acrobatic kites, canoe and also do what others here like to do. I love good music of most kinds,especially jazz, bluegrass, mountain and Irish, classic movies and legitimate theatre. I like working on things. I'm an information junkie, so the internet is my friend.

Well, let's see. 05241201 See Profile, you're it! :)

So what am I? Well I'm something like 53 years young having spent the last *38 years of those years with the most beautiful and understanding person I have ever met my wife of 30 years Becky.

I grew up in Fort Lauderdale Florida and have for as long as I can remember have had an interest in electronics and photography the previous becoming part of my job and the latter a hobby. I currently work as a Digital Technician for BellSouth maintaining special services (circuits) from DS0 to glass. In the pre BST days I have worked dang near any job one could think of ranging from busboy at Sweden House to a certified electrical contractor and in my spare time captured and sold a few shots along the way.

Since the rules say I cannot mention photography I will refrain from doing so.

I started capturing images when I was around twelve years old someone (I think an uncle) gave me a 120 bellows camera and a couple of weeks allowance got me enough money for a roll Tri-X. Shots where taken more allowance was saved for developing and printing and I was in.

In the afternoons and during the summer you could find me working part time in the lab at a photo studio on Broward and later a camera shop called Click Camera for the lab work I was actually getting paid and rather well at that time for a fourteen year and I didn't do too bad nor at the camera shop either though for intents and purposes all of my earnings where traded for equipment.

As for photos I will post actual shots of myself.

From the top down.

My parents while doing ok did rent me out once and awhile to the Seminoles to wrestle alligators to bring home a few extra bucks.

Early attempts at construction while quite accurate where somewhat misaligned to grade.

Getting laid. ;-)

* Since I have been asked. We met in school when I was 14 and started dating when I was around 19-20.

[att=1]

The photo above was taken in October 2006 while in Hawaii on vacation. I have beer (beer - good!), a loud shirt, and a tan. It doesn’t get much better than that. The best part of that photo isn’t in the photo, but who is behind the camera: my lovely and shy wife.

As you probably know, I am Chris Mospaw. I was born 37 years ago in Rochester, NY, but we soon moved to Buffalo, where I grew up. OK, I grew up in Amherst mostly. I had a fairly normal childhood, and was always fascinated by photography and movies. I never really had a decent camera, and don’t have any photos or films I took back then.

When I was 19, after a bit of college, I moved to Central Florida and spent a few years in Winter Haven (where my father lives) until moving to Orlando in 1998. I met a lovely young lady in 1999 who is now my wife. We got married in Las Vegas in 2001 and both liked the place. A few hurricanes came through Orlando in 2004, which was kind of the last straw for wanting to move. About a year later, in August 2005, we moved to Vegas.

I am currently a senior web developer for a company in Napa, CA (I telecommute), and do a little bit of side work as well. I have made my living primarily as a computer jockey of some sort, but have had other interesting jobs such as stock boy, insurance indexer (kind of a night auditor), magazine editor, writer, graphic artist, print designer, used car salesman, used car lot manager, newspaper production manager, typesetter, trainer, tech support guy, system administrator, web developer, and a few I’m probably forgetting for good reason.

My school got a computer when I was in 5th grade and I was blown away by what this box hooked to a TV could do. I had found my passion. I got my first computer, a rather useless Commodore VIC20 for Christmas that year. From that day forward, I have always had a computer, and have always been a computer nerd with an eye toward creativity. I produced a 3-column typeset newsletter for a local users group in 1985 - on a Commodore 64 and 9-pin printer. Sometime in high school I switched to Amigas and then to PCs in the mid-90s. All this time, I never owned a camera.

Sometime in 1997 I decided it was time to get a camera. Even though a decent (read megapixel) digital was $700 at the time, it made sense to me since I could take lots of photos and not have processing expenses. Since I was doing a lot of computer layout, it made sense to go digital and have the files available directly rather than having to scan photos.

That first digital was a Kodak DC120, built like a tank, and a terrific camera for its time. A few years later, I got an HP Photosmart 945, which took some terrific photos. Unfortunately, it died a sudden and premature death and HP basically told me to go blow smoke about replacing it. I went awhile before getting my current Canon Digital Rebel XT last year. Through this forum, I have learned a lot about photography, what all those numbers like f, ISO, and so on mean. I have been blessed with a good eye and take no credit for skill in composition or anything else. My brain simply says “yep it’s good” when it is. Usually. :)

Well, that’s probably more about me than you’ll ever want to know.

I'm making sure the person I want to tag will accept. If I don't hear back soon, I'll pick someone else. :)

Whew! It was hard to find a relatively recent photo of me...and my wife wouldn't let me post the ones from when I was a male stripper. I am mostly behind the camera, instead of in front of it, as I guess most of us here are. I really like this one--and you get to see two of me (perish the thought!):

[att=1]

I am Cherokee (Eastern Band)/Irish, happily married, and climb rocks. One day my wife said, "Let's go climbing!" So we sold the big house (I had just stopped teaching university mathematics & computer science and became an administrator a couple of years before.), put everything in storage...and lived in 11 places in 3 years. Some without running water--unless you count the nearby streams. For a while we lived in a pizza-store parking lot in an ancient van we had refurbed. We are sometimes in very remote places. One time, my wife's mother had become very ill, and it took our friends and police 3 days to locate us. It's fun to be a day's walk from the nearest road, trail, phone.... As you'd guess, we like each other's company a whole lot, and have worked together on many projects. Lots of people of all different sorts have made themselves at home in our home--when we actually have a fixed address, that is--and we have climbed with folks from as many as 9 different countries in a single weekend. Maybe someday you will hangout (both literally and figuratively) with us?

I was an autistic child until I was about 7 years old--not Asperger's--a bit more severe than that. I'm a vegan who hasn't eaten meat for more than a decade. Done a lot of things for a living: shot pool, writer, full-time milkshake maker at the golden arches, made shoes in a factory, janitor, martial arts instructor, web designer, techie, and sometimes can have "freelance mathematician" on a 1099...

...well, you get the drift: I'm a slacker who can't hold down a job! *grin*

Boy it’s tough to write about yourself. My name is Rhonda and I was born in southern California 52 years ago but Tucson has been my home for as long as I can remember. I am of American Indian decent, Chickasaw.

During the workweek, you find me running the desk at a very busy RV (recreational vehicle) park, booking reservations, answering tourist questions and helping people plan vacation activities.

The other part of my life, I am a wife (almost 30 years now), a mother to three sons and a grandmother of six; two sons (twins) are married with families and one son is still at home in his last year of high school.

In my younger years, I was a juvenile counselor, and worked with Indian youth (BIA) within the Bureau of Prisons. Through the school years of my youngest son, I have been active within our local school system trying to improve the bureaucracy of our public schools, and improve conditions for our hardworking teachers.

My true passion cannot be discussed (you know the rules), but I love nature and art. My hobby is computers; I repair, rebuilt and consult.

It was a job finding a photo of myself, as many before have said, I take the shots and rarely am in front of a lens. My sister took this photo of me last September…

Now I will tag the ever-elusive climbers!

This will be short.

My name is Russ and I'll be 49 next month. I was born in Los Angeles and have spent most of my life in the area. I went to college at UC Santa Cruz, majoring in Botany (I highly recommend the sinsemilla there, it's grown right on campus). In addition to that useless education, I've trained in the machining industry on both manual and computer controlled mills and lathes (I prefer mills). I currently work on the order desk for a machine tool supply company in southern California. Previous to that I spent nine years at a telescope manufacturing company, first as a CNC machinist, then as supervisor of the toolroom. I've had a fairly diverse range of employment, from a ranch hand in Idaho to proofreader to numerous service tech jobs.

I'm a voracious reader and movie buff. I enjoy camping and solitude, but I'm not happy unless I have a camera with me. My humor tends to be dry and sarcastic and I appreciate a sense of irony, especially in women. I have a younger sister and brother, who both live far away.

I bought my first SLR, a Canon FTb in 1976 with some of the proceeds from my hitch as a ranch hand when I was 18. I've enjoyed photography more than any other hobby and have owned a number of other film cameras. I'm fairly late to the digital party, but wouldn't dream of going back. When I can't be out shooting landscapes the computer renders let me stay creative while living in a concrete wasteland.

That's about it. No kids and no wife (although I am open to rich, young supermodels who aren't put off by slack-jawed stupidity).

Time to pass the torch. I'm going to drop the next dime on the incomparable rdavs.

Me? I'm Michele, in 36, 37 next week, and currently living in Portland, OR, not married, no kids, no pets.

I was born in southern California, moved to Maryland in 1979, and moved back to southern California in 1985. While we lived back East, my Mom knew it was probably our only chance to see things there, so I was able to see most everything of historical value on the East Coast: Washington DC, Philadelphia, Gettysburg, Charleston, and on up to Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and down south to Florida. Now that I"m an adult, I'd like to do it again with my unmentionable hobby in hand.

I went north to college, Cal State Sacramento, and finished up with a degree in Psychology in 1995 and stayed in the area for a total of 14 years. I started working for a national commercial real estate firm in 1997 and was operations manager of their Sacramento office by December of that year. I basically oversaw the administrative side of the office, while my boss was responsible for the agents there. Along the way, I developed a liking (read, obsession) for computers and worked heavily with our IT department troubleshooting, testing, etc, and knew I really wanted to get into software research and development. June of last year, I got my dream job: I'm currently Project Manager, Software Development for the same firm and I'll have 10 years with them in May. But I am very much a workaholic to anyone who knows me, which is why I love my hobby so much.

In September came the second part of my opportunity: I relocated to Portland where the rest of my department is. I spent the summer flying back and forth every week, and the first time I flew in and saw the city, I fell in love with it. It's just big enough to be a city with a beautiful skyline and just small enough not to be overwhelming. Besides, where else can I have a stunning view of Mt. Hood just walking to get my mail?

One thing great byproduct of my unmentionable hobby is that I love to drive and explore back roads and just wander. My next toy needs to be a GPS unit! :D But it has been a great way to learn the area around here.

And now I tag..... ryzst See Profile.

Well my name is Scott and I'm 33 years old soon to be 34.

I was born in Western Australia which is where most of my family are. I ended up moving from Australia to the UK in 1979 with my Mum and younger sister and have been here ever since. After moving around the UK i have finally settled in a chaotic town called Croydon which is on the southern edge of London.

I married in 1999 and divorced in 2002, I have two great kids, Reece (6) and Lauren (5), They are the most important thing in my life and what ever time i have spare i spend with them.

I only really have two passions in life, Firstly one that i cant mention and the second diving. I have been diving now for approx 4 years and am certified as a master diver and have dived some of the most beautiful places in the world ranging from Australia, the Maldives, The Red Sea in Egypt, as well as my last adventure to the Dominican Republic. Probably not the wisest two hobbies on the list as they seem to be the most expensive ones.

I work as a Sales Executive for one of the largest paint manufacturers in the world and have been for 8 or so years now. I love driving so it seems to be a job where i get paid to do something i like, the only downside is i have to see customers as well but hey , you cant have everything in life. As much as i used to be a workaholic I had my eyes rudely opened approx two and a half years ago when i was diagnosed with testicular cancer, luckily it was diagnosed in the very early stages and dealt with, but if i could give a single piece of advice to anyone i would say that always think of your well being and health as nothing is more important.

Below is probably the best picture i have of myself, it was taken about 18 months ago, my first self portrait.

Well my name is Frank and I just turned 48 in January and I was born in Jersey City, NJ and have lived in NJ my entire life. I'm on my second and final marriage to my lovely wife Dawn. We have 2 children, my daughter is 10 and my son is 7. They are the greatest joy in my life.
I'm employed as a Service Technician/installer for a large office furniture company which means I get to play with power tools all day, I also do wood touch up for them which is becoming a lost art. I went to college for a couple of years but as you can see by my nickname here I play the bass and I left school to try hit the big time. I had a lot of fun and played some memorable clubs in the tris-tate area including CBGB's and Max's Kansas City. I'm still playing and writing songs and the picture I've included is me with my band Take The Fifth, I'm the handsome ;)guy on the left.This was a great idea Wayne and I tag Mantis44 next. :D

Let's see... I am fortunate enough to be an at-home-mom. I'm in my 30's. I grew up in a very small town of about 6,000 people in the geographical center of Texas. Wonder if any of you can figure it out!? After high school, I went to college out in West Texas. I majored in psychology specializing in children, double minored in art and communications. I graduated from Angelo State University in '92, married my husband no__1__here See Profile, and we moved to Harrogate, England. We lived there for 3 wonderful years and spent our time traveling throughout Britian and Europe! In '95, we moved back to Texas and since then have had four beautiful children together. The oldest is a boy, almost 11, and an academic. The second is a boy, almost 9, and an athlete. Next is our daughter who is definitely a "girly-girl" and just turned 5. Last but definitely not least is our 2 1/2 yr. old baby boy - he's the comedian! They are all great and very well behaved. I've been truly blessed and couldn't be more proud.

My interests....hmmm, you mean when I'm not doing dishes, laundry, and being a kid-taxi? Really anything that's creative - I love to paint (mainly murals on my kid's bedroom walls), cook, bake, decorate cakes, and of course the one thing I'm not allowed to mention!!! ;) Once my youngest is in school, I'm hoping to make my unmentionable hobby and passion into a business.

[att=1]

Well, this photo is almost a year old - I'll try to get back in front of the camera soon! ;)

Ok, even though I feel that no__1__here See Profile is the smartest and most interesting guy I know - he's has said that I shouldn't tag him. So, I'll go with another great guy with a great story to tell and that would be noe See Profile!

My name is Neil. I was born in London, England in 1968. I moved out of London just before I was four but I started my working life back in London working just off of Trafalgar Square. In 1987 my company relocated to Basingstoke which is where I lived. In 1989 I met my American wife-to-be when she was assigned as a contractor to help my company install software (it was common to bring over people from the US). In 1990 we married in England. In 1996 we sold-up, quit our jobs and moved to Dallas/Fort Worth.

I became a US citizen in 2000.

I have two lovely boys aged 8 and 5. One is gifted and talented and the other is exceptionally creative and dramatic. I am extremely proud of them both.

In 2005 my wife and I separated and our divorce was final in early January this year. Fortunately, and for the sake of the kids, our divorce was conducted peacefully and we share custody of the boys. Nothing is more important to me that giving them the most stable environment I can manage.

My passions in life after raising the boys are music, traveling, photography and food. I’ve many other interests such as movies, gardening and running but the aforementioned get the most time. I play guitar and I’ve played in several bands over the years including a college band that was entered into the British Battle of the Bands and several bands here in Dallas/ Fort Worth.

I work for an extremely large consulting firm as a project director. I manage installations of enterprise systems at major US life insurance companies – now you can see why I need creative outlets like photography, but it pays the bills, lol.

And with no further ado, I'll pass the torch to kidpics See Profile.

[att=1]

Well, I'm still thirty-something. After living all over the place, I moved to Hawaii. I've ventured out of this state twice in the last 13 years... LOL!

I have a degree in Civil Engineering but never really had the interest to make a career of it. Instead, I preferred to jump from one field to another without really make much of an impression in any of them! I had some very serious health issues in my late teens and early 20's that perhaps affected my outlook on things then.

Anyway, I've had my main present gig for about 7 years. I'm an admin/tech manager for a small-ish non-profit on Maui. We have about 40 employees (maybe 25 in full time equivalency and 20 desks and 4 locations in the county). I don't make quite the bucks even my underachiever past might lead one to expect of me... well, it's not really THAT bad and, due to my indispensible ® status, I am free to do as I please most of the time... :)

I got married in 2001 to an awesome local girl and we have two kids... (no more are planned at this time. ;) ) We're lucky enough that we can afford at the moment for my wife to stay home.

That's enough of me for now! I'd like to hear from Nezmo See Profile now.

Ok, this is me. Eighteen years old. Name is Jordan. I haven't lived in the same place longer than six months since I was fifteen. I'm an explorer at heart... this world is too great not to see and learn it all.

I was relieved of high school when I was sixteen. Did a year of community college. Never had a good school experience, which is why I have no immediate plans for college.

I've been in Atlanta for about three months now, but I will be moving on before the ides of february. On paper, I haven't been doing much here. Some web design work and a couple photo jobs. But I've learned more about life in the last six months that I can't even think of a good way to finish this sentence. (That's a lot.)

Right now, it's time for me to make a decision and begin my adult life. Everyone thinks I should go to school. Adults think I'm smart and talented blah blah blah. I have a hard time taking advice from people who are just as fucked up after forty or fifty years of experience.

Every day I spend hours thinking about human existence and social society and different sorts of psychedelic stuff. I feel that I may see the world differently than many people do.

Realistically, I see myself travelling wandering the world for the next five to fifty years (who knows?), searching for whatever it is that I'm really after. I also feel that I may eventually have a career as an artist (but again, who knows?)

P.S. I'm sure some of you will notice the hebrew on my shirt. Shirt is from my stint as a volunteer in the israeli army a few years ago.

I am a professor in the Economics Department at UBC. If you care about my full vita, all you have to do is google me up - we academics pretty much lay our professional lives out in the open for everyone to see. I teach a variety of courses, both at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and conduct research, mostly on Spanish economic history. One of the best parts of my job is that I get to travel a lot; I spend at least three weeks per year in Spain, and shorter stints in many other places for conferences and invited presentations. This year's highlights are looking to be Israel and Prague.

I was born and grew up in Argentina, the land of tango and the best beef in the world. It is also were my family and my wife's live, so we do get down there once a year. Though a beautiful country with fantastic people, Argentina's economic and political troubles do not make it a great place to be an academic. Fortunately Canada has been every bit as kind to us as our native country was.

Other than the unspeakable hobby, I also occupy my free time with outdoors activities, mostly hiking and skiing. And reading all sorts of novels. And cooking - but only with enough time on my hands, as I don't like to be rushed in the kitchen. And barbecuing huge chunks of meat, no matter how crappy the weather is - if anyone has fired up a Weber charcoal kettle grill both in -30 degree weather and in whiteout conditions, welcome to the club!

I am originally from Minnesota but moved to the Desert Southwest 37 years ago and never looked back. I so easily became a desert rat that I sometimes think that I lived here in another life.

Let's see. First, I am married for short of 42 years to the same wonderful friend and lover. I came to him with 2 children, lucky man, and we had a 3rd between us. They are grown and we now have 5 grandchildren, one of them old enough to actually marry and have his own. He hasn't yet and I am not prepared to be a great-grandparent. ;)

I have spent my life doing many things, one of which was working in an Adapted Physical Education program in a school district here. I think that those handicapped children, some severely disabled, taught me more than I could ever have learned without them. They were, for the most part, loving and gentle and could just bring tears to one's eyes. I think I loved all 800+ of them that came through the program.

I also taught dogs obedience for a time. Yes. I had a dog, and she was the most disobedient little thing there ever was. I think that's why I am so into cats now. They're easier to train!

I now live in a body that seems to reject everything I want to do and is riddled with arthritis, etc. That's how I became interested originally in computer security which is where I hung out for years on this site. As with life, I learn better by doing. And you all know how I entertain myself, and many of you too, now. I won't mention the word, but I have gravitated back to a passion I had as a kid. It's one of those things I can enjoy in any body and the one I am in now is delighted with combining the computer and cameras. That's about it. I have retired from many things but not life and living.

:hmm:I learned many things in the Security Forum, one of which is that I don't post my likeness without those who see it having to imagine a lot...everything. Sorry about that.

I am curious about Mauricio Hey, friend. You're IT!

My name is Andrew, if you couldn't tell by the watermarks on my images. Like boatct See Profile, I am also 19 years old.

I am a freshman photography major at Drexel University in Philadelphia, and thus far am enjoying my experience in the city greatly.

My home is in Wall, NJ (near Belmar and Asbury Park, for those who are unfamiliar with the region).

In the past I have worked for a wedding photographer, and last summer I had the opportunity to be a staff photographer for a local paper.

Besides the obvious hobbies of photography and music, I have become very interested in exploring Philadelphia by walking randomly without a map.

Very few images exist of me - I am rather camera shy, but here is a recent one of my lovely girlfriend Kristin and I playing stupid tourists in Thomas Paine Plaza, which features oversized game pieces.

I'm Shelly--24 years old. Originally from Southeast Kentucky, attended 2 years of college in East Tennessee, major, Computer Animation. Moved to Atlanta, GA and attended 1-1/2 yrs at a technical school for web design/computer graphics/CIW certification. Moved to southeast PA a couple years ago.

While in Atlanta, my boyfriend ( Chillin See Profile , of 6 yrs lol) and I started up our own graphic/web/print business. We've been in business since 2001 and our work has since been featured in a stack of magazines probably 2 feet tall lol. Besides all of our web/print/design work, we also design 'vehicle renderings'. We've produced several vehicles on the cover of magazines, and the biggest reward thus far was one of our concepts winning the GM Design award at this year's SEMA show. We keep growing our business by adding new equipment and services. Our business revolves 95% around the automotive industry as that is both of our hobbies--I live for anything custom, loud motors, and hot rods. Spend my summer on the road most every weekend going to car shows all over the US.

In my little spare time, I run an online automotive magazine, dropndrag.com where we have a really active forum, and we post show coverage from all around the US (centered mainly in the NE states though).

Ahh, pic attached is a self portrait i took couple months back - i saw the style posted elsewhere of the hair flying around and looped in curls and i thought i'd try to reproduce it... I like the way it turned out.

Well, I've never been much for being in the spotlight. But here goes. :D

My name is Tim. My friends call me Timmy!!!(it's a South Park reference). I'll be 42 in July. Happily single, currently living in Minnesota, and working in the I/T industry at a nuke facility. I've been a lot of things up to this point. Farm hand, sheet rocker, framer, laborer, soldier, mechanic, printer, and even worked in the health food industry for a brief period.

I'm sort of a loner. I hang out with a very small group of people, but they're some of the best you'll ever meet. I enjoy drinking to excess at times ;) I like loud music. I'm a frustrated guitar/ bass player. I love to hop on the bike and just ride. I've been told I'm funny. At least once I get to know you anyway.

I've gone through kind of a black period over the past 4 years or so. Lost several friends and family members. Death, pain, and misery suck. It's amazing how deep and dark the hole is that this stuff can knock you into. That's one of the reasons I picked up a camera. Trying to find the beauty in things again. It's working. Life is good :)

Anyway, that's me in a nutshell. A sad happy frustrated guitar bass playing picture taking nuclear I/T biker! The picture Posted here is from 2004. I took off on a solo trip for 4 days on the bike, and ended up in the Black Hills. Good times!!

And as for who is thrust into the spotlight next? Let's go with JRSlater8 See Profile

I dont have a good photo of myself. What photographer does? This is one of me working at the computer.

Ok, here it is. I was born in Florida, raised in Pennsylvania, lived in South Georgia (did you know there are only 3 last names there?), and now am in Missouri. I started out as a kid working for a photographer. Mostly lugging a lot of equipment around and developing film and pushing prints through the huge drum dryer.

Second job was working for my aunt in Florida. She was a commercial artist. Did a lot of cut and paste (the manual way).

I have worked as a commercial artist or draftsman almost all my life. I have tried to have my own business a few times, but found it too much. I am not good at sales, and Im too quick to tell someone "Go kiss a cows butt".

I have a Daughter and a Grandson that I never hear from. I am on my second marriage. I have a sweet Wife. She is sweet at home, but you dont want to meet her at work. She is a district manager for a pay-day-loan company.

Up until lately, photography has been out of reach for me to do as a hobby. Now that everything has gone digital, I have once again gotten back into photography as a hobby. My other hobbies are fishing and woodworking.

Here is a quick rundown.

I am in the late 40s, and a May Gemini. I live in North Phoenix and enjoy travel, my Harley, Muscle Cars, hiking, shooting, fishing - mostly usual typical guy stuff. I don't care for Football or Basketball but dig Nascar, Drag Racing and Airplanes (anything that's loud and fast). I don't like large crowds unless completely unavoidable. I listen to a variety of Music from Southern Rock to Ambient Electronica.
A Motorcycle trip to a remote location, where there aren't any people, any thrash, clean air and great photo motives would be my idea of a perfect vacation. No pets, no kids - just peace and freedom ;-)

I am 41, hopefully, I will mark another notch this August. I graduated from a small Christian school way back in '83. After school I went to work with my dad and have been there ever since, we make dental prosthesis, Dentures, Crowns, Partials...etc;

I have been married for 20 years to a wonderful woman, who is my best friend!, we have 2 boys, 14 and 11, nothing in the world would I trade for that. Simply amazing.

Some of my hobbies have ranged from, driving a race car on a dirt track at a NASCAR sanctioned track, to building homes out of steel. My wife and I, 3 years ago, built our home ourselves with the help of a few friends and family members, it took a year, but we did it!

I like to mess with computers and I seem to be the family and friends "PC Tech dude", Like I really know anything...lol

Between family and work, I try to find time to do stuff I can't mention in this thread. :p

And here I am.

Well well, where to start. My wife and me have been married 29 years! Whoa! :D We have two children which actually aren't children anymore, daughter 26 and son 18, we now have a grandson who will turn 4 this year.

I've worked at about everything known to man at one time or another, started as a kid of 15 as a factory worker, over the years moved on to banking which I was in for several years and worked everything there except being a teller, my main job over the longest time I was in banking was data security, I then decided to go back to college when I was 29. I've since earned several degrees in various things, electronics, computer programming etc... I've owned my own computer business for nearly 10 years and on occasion do some VP networking security work for Sam. ;)

It's very likely I may have met some of you at one time or another as I was into the music business very deeply during all this time and we played all over the eastern US as a band known as Oasis, so if anyone remembers that band in the 70's - 80's or seen us you seen a different and younger side of me back then. :p

Usually don't have the beard, just something this winter for a change and no, I didn't lose a bet. lol And the pic attached to this post is what I really look like now, (minus the beard) I think it was shot in Oct. or Nov. of 06. And that is the short version. :p

I am a Mental Health Worker and have been for 26 years. I started working in an enormous State Mental Institution when I was 20 years old and when that closed I transitioned into the community where I assisted severely mentally ill people with essentially living their lives on a day to day basis. I currently work on a 15 bed sub-acute mental health and addiction services unit. Pretorious See Profile you're it.

Great :) Thanks, Wayne, no, really :). OK, I can't mention anything about photography. Alrighty then...

Well, unless you couldn't guess, I served in the USAF for four years, I flew as a gunner on B-52 and I served during Desert Storm.

As of today, my day job is a project manager but I'm really starting to gain a lot of business in my business I'm not allowed to mention and hopefully in a year it will be full time.

I've been married for just over nine years, we've been home owners for over 2 and our four legged companion recently celebrated his second birthday.

Most folks by now know that I am one of those who doesn't candy coat my opinion and I call it how I see it. However, I also admit when I'm wrong or crossed over line.

I like to challenge myself and nothing is worse than being in a rut.

I am also willing to bet I'm the tallest person who frequents this forum as I stand at just over 6'10" tall and tip in at 290 pounds.

And now I tag Edit This See Profile

Some assembly required, your mileage may vary, no pixels were harmed in the writing of this post. Brain cells, though, are a different matter. You want fries with that?

[Tag your it] http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17715689 Wayne GphFX : After reading Gemologist See Profile recent post we should take time to learn more about our photographers here. So in this thread I will tag someone and they will tell us a little bit about themselves without mentioning anything about photography. After their post the person selected will tag another until we get to know each other a little
better :)

If you wish to include your latest self portrait makes it even better.
