PhotoHop's photostream

I like to take pics and like to look at pics.

I started out in my teens with a Minolta SRT-200 w/45mm Rokkor-X.

The light seals went on my Minolta and I went about ten years shooting occasionally with disposal cameras. Just lost all my motivation.

Got a couple of point n shoots in the 2000's....

Then in July of '08 I received a Nikon D60 for my birthday. Joined Flickr a couple of weeks later and the tips and photo samples here have been an inspiration for me.
Met several members here and had some good photo shoots with them.
