Another Coloradan...

[toro_mike]

Hey all... Like others around here, I've been a long-time lurker, but finally hunkered down and subscribed. There's just too much great, great stuff here not to. I love getting ideas/inspiration and reading others solutions to problems I've had or am having. This is a truly great service! A huge thank you to those running it and those great contributers out there!

A little background: I took a photography class (included studio, darkroom, and field work) in High School some 17 years ago just to fill out my credits (I hated study halls!) and have been hooked ever since. Best thing I got out of High School! A Pentax ME Super has been my staple camera (and still is to some degree) until my father-in-law gave me a family Speed Graphic 4x5 and I added a Pentax 67, some cartridge cameras and a box camera to my arsenal. I just got a working darkroom again and am loving it.

Anyway, I don't post very often unless I have something useful to say (which is very rare) or cannot find an answer (also very rare). My Flickr site is HERE and has digital as well as analog stuff. Take a gander if you wish

I'll work on my gallery here as I get time!

Thanks for your time!

Thanks folks...

Thanks everybody. This is the best place on the net!

Seems like there are a fair bit of folks in Colorado, though I probably shouldn't be surprised considering how photogenic this state is.

Mike,
Welcome from Broomfield!

Now I know of two apuggers from the Denver area! We'll have to think about a Colorado user group.

Howdy from Littleton, CO. There are several Colorado APUGers. We've met up once or twice.

After glancing at your work, you might enjoy my group of friends. I'm currently driving a slammed '68 Sedan de Ville, and my other friends are driving a '66 Coronet, a '47 Plymouth, a '57 Olds, a '50 Wayfarer.... and so on.

Cheryl,
You and your friends have excellent taste in cars and they certainly sound like my type of folks. My '68 Toronado is in a perpetual state of repair and will someday be back on the road (when funds allow the engine rebuild it so desperately needs!). Also, your work is fantastic! Love your style.

Howard,
We should try to get Colorado folks together again. From looking at the Regional Meet section, it seems like it's been awhile. I'd certainly be open to it.
