I started in May 06. Can't let a weekend go by without seeing through the lens of the camera. I post quite a wide variety of images.
My goals ...
a) to post an image 1/day
b) to study your great photos and learn from them
c) to become a better photographer - there's so much to learn
I wish to thank all my contacts in Flickr for giving me the priviledge of viewing, and learning as much as I can about photography from studying your photos. My schedule precludes visiting streams daily. While I post daily, I try to visit everyone's stream 1=2x per week. Hope you understand, but working full time with often 12 hour days requires balance in my hobby.
Equipment:
Started with a Canon A80 (some images in my stream are from this camera)
Moved to a Sony a100 in spring 06.
Lenses: 50mm macro, 11-18mm w/a, 17-70mm kit lens, 70-300mm zoom, & a Flash
Just bought the Nikon D300
Lenses: 18-85, 80-400
Still learning how to use it. Not many images in my stream from this camera yet.
I would really welcome your feedback, constructive criticism, and comments on any photos to help me learn more. I need the constructive feedback more than the "nice image" type of reply to grow as a photographer. :-)

Dew Drop says:
"Gail's images illustrate quality. She has a great perception which she captures in her images. Besides offering a wide range of subjects well photographed, Gail never ceases to share words of encouragement to other's photostreams. You have constantly inspired me, Gail and I hope you keep doing the same always. Thanks for everything! And continue to decorate your photostream with gorgeous photos!"

"Gail has taught me that If I slow down and look around after taking the obvious shots I'll find many treasures. She has also been a Photoshop mentor and has taught me that even good images can be improved by post-processing. Gail has become a good friend."
