Hello from Sunny Phoenix

Hi All,
Wow, we are truly a global community! I know, that's the beauty of the internet - but I remember when there was no internet. :D I got serious about photography about a year and a half ago when my hubby and I started scuba diving and wanted to take pictures underwater. I have searched for somewhere to learn, as the community colleges just didn't have what I wanted at a time I could attend. Our son gave me this course for Christmas - and I love it already. I looked through the galleries last night and was really impressed. There are some talented people in this group!

Hi Vicki. What a nice Christmas present your son got you! Great idea. It is very nice to have you with us, and make sure to join in the contest (POTM) Photo of the month. You can win prizes! It is a lot of fun. We also have weekly topics etc. Make yourself at home, and join in.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome - you guys are all so nice! I'm loving having fellow photo geeks to talk to. I will try to get a couple of pictures posted this weekend... a scary proposition. :eek:

Welcome, Vicki! I have found, in a few short days, that this is a very giving and caring group. They are also, as you've seen, quite talented and willing to share and encourage. I'm sure you will be as comfortable as I have become and I'll see you in class - I just started and got my first assignment feedback today!
