I'll start
:
I found this site in 2005, while researching my first week-long foliage photography trip to Vermont in many years. I was very familiar with the Northwest part of the state where I grew up, but was looking for good "intel" on the rest of the state. I looked in a lot of places, but hit the proverbial "mother-lode" here. Since then, I have met (personally in many cases), some wonderful, lifelong friends here (and even lost one we all loved and cherished _
RIP GIC!). I have been to "reunions," and have written an eBook on photographing Vermont Foliage, all inspired by this site and what it has done for me personally!
I am a nearing 60, balding (who am I kidding with the "ing" thing
), lifelong photographer, who love the outdoors and loves photographing beautiful things (the challenge, of course, is to present them as beautiful). My "day job" is as an attorney, and I have practiced in estate planning and family business work for 30 + years).
My fascination with photography began in Vermont in 1976, while attending college there. I was inspired by a college professor who is himself an accomplished and published Vermont nature photographer. Today I have a blog: [urlhttp://lightcentric.wordpress.com/][/url] and my own website:
http://www.lightcentricphotography.com/ as well as a Flickr site:

.
I currently live in Michigan, but both of my children are grown and moved away and we own a second home in Florida, which will one day be our retirement venue.
Hope to see everyone out there on the forum this year and meet some new folks! Good viewing!
