Greetings everyone

Hello,

I stumbled across this site last night and immediatly bacame interested in the subject matter. I've been doing photography as a side business for the last 6 years. I've played around with restorations off and on with mixed results, but remain interested enough to seek out proven techniques and the expertise of others who have paid their dues and enjoy sharing what they've learned.
I'm in a relationship with a woman I met while shooting a family portrait two years ago. She had just moved to my town and has a small photography side business as well. We do 10-12 weddings per year and they've become my favorite event to shoot. We have two dogs and two cats. Life is very busy most of the time but I'm enjoying it like never before.
I'll try my hand at a restoration challenge real soon and look forward to interacting with some new friends right here.

Have a look round the site, and when you're ready post in the forums. This is a pretty friendly and laid back place, so I'm sure you'll be made welcome.
