Caverguy's photostream  

Caving is a big part of my life. I'm a Fellow in the National Speleological Society and started the NSS Caving forum at www.cavechat.org. It's a member-driven caving forum and is the largest caving forum in the United States. Any caver is welcome to sign up and post, regardless of whether they are a member of the N.S.S. We have our own Flickr photo-sharing group and all caving photographers are invited to join. We also have a social networking site for cavers. Everyone is welcome at www.onlinecavers.com.

My profile photo is a photoshop of Paris Hilton from a horror movie. I put her in a caving helmet with a pack in a cave, crying, and titled it, "Why I'll never take Paris Hilton caving again." Click to see the full image

I am a 60-something father of a teenager who is the apple of my eye. She has maintained a 4.0 grade average since elementary school, has been dancing since she was 2 and is an avid caver. You can see some of her exploits on her Web site at www.coloradocaving.com or check out some of her photos here.

I've been taking photographs since 1978 when I bought the "revolutionary" Canon A1 SLR, which I was very proud to own. It was the first SLR to offer an electronically controlled programmed autoexposure mode. It also offered a choice of aperture priority or shutter priority. I gave the camera to my daughter who uses it when she's not shooting digital. My first camera was a Kodak Brownie.

I am an Anglophile and love taking, and seeing ,pictures of England. My wife is English and she has relatives there.

I am also an avid mushroomer and was a member of the Colorado Mycological Society for a number of years and was editor of their newsletter. My principal interest is mycophagy and I consider myself a real fungi. (play on words. sorry, I couldn't resist.)
