OK, describing self, take one:
I love helping people get comfortable with new stuff, especially technology. I do support and training as my job, but really, I picture myself as more a coach or interpreter of things digital to those not-so-digitally-inclined. Turns out, there are quite a few of those, which is good for job security.
I started taking pictures in my mid-40's, when I bought a Kodak 3400 in spring of 2001. Ever seen one of those cliff divers? That's pretty much my experience with digital photography. Joining Flickr in Fall 2004 was hitting the surface. It's been a great place to find folks with scuba gear who have kept my interest in this world deep and involving. I may be developing gills.
I've bought a few other cameras since then, and my daughters have also become interested in things photographic as well. My Lovely Bride is the third person in the family to use that same old 3400. It's like passing along a '64 BelAir - the thing is a brick, but very safe and functional.
I am active in several user groups, as well as serving on our local Public Art Advisory Board. Links are:
Triangle Macintosh User Group
Served as President (or co-president) from 2000 - 2004.
Triangle Advocates of Portable Information Technology - TAPIT
Founder. TAPIT is the longest-standing Palm User group in the state, having met monthly since May of 2000. In the summer of 2007 we widened our reach to include all portable technologies.
Cary, NC, Public Arts Advisory Board
A native North Carolinian, I love where ever I have found myself in this fair state, from the mountains to the coast.

While I'm not a "World Traveler" by any means, I have made several trips abroad. Here's the map as it stands:

In 2007, I finally made my first trip to Canada. I went again in January of 2008. Maybe I'll get a chance to increase the coverage here:

In the US, I'm adding more and more by the year:
