Hello from Scottsdale, AZ

[rcoda]

Hi everyone:

I am a recent transplant from NJ. I have been out of photography for about a dozen years building my graphic design business and doing the family thing. Came out to AZ to give myself more opportunity to get back into photography. I shoot 4x5 (Ebony) and 8x10 (Masterview). Had a darkroom built into our new home and am still trying to get everything ready. I look forward to learning and participating here.

Thanks,

Rich

Welcome to APUG Rich. I've got a brother-in-law in Scottsdale (and one in Glendale), but haven't been back to AZ in quite a while.
You're gonna love AZ as there is plenty of very interesting stuff there to photograph.

Rich,

Welcome from Tucson right now; but tomorrow back to NYC and then Copake in upstate NY for the weekend!

We're P/T Arizonans - still in the working world but plan to spend more time out here in a few year's time.

Another welcome from Tucson. As has been mentioned there is plenty to photograph in Az. I tried to vist your sites earlier but the message said they were not up at present. I'll check again later.

Another friendly wave from your neighbors down south in Tucson. If your ever down this way, drop me and line and we can go out photographing in the area.

All the best,

Hello Rich.

You should be having a great time with your cameras this winter in Arizona! The Southwest is filled with great subject matter all year long. Enjoy!

Hi Pat and WheelyGirl!

Thanks for your welcome. We're actually going to Painted Desert and Petrified Forest in February... my daughter has a school project and that's what she picked. Lucky me (and my cameras)!

Rich, welcome. The large format 'class' (club) at Scottsdale community college is a nice place to meet other photog's and learn. Field trips and world class photographers come to show work.

Wow, Richard, a ery impressive gallery on the website. I hope to learn from you as well. Welcome.
