Greetings!

[Slugbug]

Hi!

I'm not very good at introductions, and I tend to be sparse with information. I hope you'll get something out of this.

My name is André and I'm a viking. I'm 26 years young and counting! I've always been interested in creativity and ways to express feelings and other things through art. My first word after mom and dad was draw. So I guess I've grown up with it.

It wasn't until a couple of years ago I bought my own camera and started to try to figure out the world of SLRs. My current equipment is a Nikon D40x, a Nikkor 15-55mm f/3.5-5.6G and a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D. I'm thinking of getting a 300mm macro lens off my brother in law for cheap.

I'm currently working as an IT Service Technician, but I'm thinking of getting myself into photography. Fixing computers is a nice skill to have I guess, but I'd much rather do something creative and perhaps give someone something to think about in the process.

I don't know if there's anything more to say at the moment. Feel free to ask me questions if there's anything you're wondering about.

I think I wasn't sparse with information after all...

Looking forward to being a part of this community.

That's because we are all like a nice pair of long underwear...warm and toasty, and great to have when you need them, yet still comforting to have handy even when the wind blows warm air.

Hi Andre and welcome to CIC. I am sure you will enjoy it here and we look forward to your participation.

Now Chris - have you been on those Fiddle Heads again? I am sure they are hallucinogenic.

Long underwear! I want egg and bacon now, on toast. A warm and toasty toast.
