Fonggren 1's photostream  

An expatriate from the Puget Sound area (born and raised in Tacoma, college in Seattle), I now find myself having lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost half of my life. How in the world did that happen?

I've been actively involved in photography, by far and away my favorite past-time, since my days as a photographer for my high school newspaper and yearbook. Back in the days when film was the only option. Back in the days when you used to have to monitor very closely how many pictures you could take because you might run out of film. Now? I'll fire off a hundred or more frames at a time and not think twice. That said, don't get me started on the problem of ever having enough hard drive storage space.

My wife has never developed (no pun intended) much of an interest in photography, but my daughters, even though they're only 10 and 7 1/2, already are keenly interested. Future Flickr users, to be sure.
