I've been wielding a camera for years now and seem to have figured out what most of those little buttons do now. I've been told my brain works a little differently than most so who knows, maybe that will come across in my pictures.

Have a wander and a look and critique away. Nobody gets better without feedback right? Unless it's microphone feedback and then only the sound guy gets better (eventually your ears heal).

Dan Zen says:

"A lover of faces though he may not realize it. Work with it and get that camera right up there. A chronicler and a creator - Pete is always - well okay... often where we are not. Like I would shoot Websters without the falls I hesitate to mention the nose... oops. Well... that is taken for granted as the book of records would show that Pete holds the everyday man in round red nose record! Pete, you are missing a B on your flickr name."

"RainyPete is a brilliant photographer and has a wonderfully warped sense of humour. His photos are genuine and often stunning. I'm his biggest fan (so be careful Pete, if you're ever stranded in a car accident in the middle of a snowstorm, I'll take you in and nurse you back to health Kathy Bates style!)"
