Hello from (usually) sunny San Diego!

[kimapali]

Hello all! I'm here to learn how to take better portraits, particularly of my daughter. I was given a digital SLR as a gift and I really want to learn how to take full advantage of what it's capable of. I'm excited to take these courses and learn from everyone here! :)

Well, you've certainly come to the right place. Lots of helpful and fun folks here. About the only thing you'll learn from me is what NOT to do... heheheh

Fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride.

BTW, my wife & I used to live in Spring Valley.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm hoping photography will become more of an obsession than just a hobby!

Gary, I live in La Mesa, not too far from Spring Valley! Small world!

Indeed, Kim. I know precisely where it's at. I loved it out there what little time I spent at home. I was on a destroyer out of 32nd St. and stayed deployed about 80% of the time. But, I sure liked it when we had a stand-down or between deployments.
