Okie Bill's photostream
|
Started getting back into photography a couple of years ago after not doing much for about 25 years. After having a liver transplant and being forced to retire after many years in the printing industry, I needed something to keep me from going batty. Photography seemed like a logical progression.
Got seriously bitten by the bug again and find photographing nature to be a wonderful yet very expensive hobby for me. It does provide me with much enjoyment and keeps me active in many areas of life I would probably not pay any attention to otherwise.
I have gone through a couple of cameras in a short time to get where I am today using a canon 50D and canon 7D. I don't feel I will make any upgrades for a while unless I win the lottery. The one thing I would like to pursue is a large format film camera as the B&W images from those never cease to amaze me.
Feel free to visit my photostream and comment, Good or Bad.
