Hi, my name is Jim Blocker, I'm a photo addict from Leesburg, VA.

I've been shooting in some capacity since I was a boy, albeit I really didn't have more than a "snapshot" mentality until recently. I moved into the digital realm about 10 years ago as an intern at an engineering firm. I purchased my first digital camera about 6 years ago and haven't put it down since. I'm currently shooting with a D200 and a Canon SD450 (assuming the wife lets me borrow it).

I've been following the digital photography school blog for a while now and am excited to see it is moving into the next stages of life (new site, forums, and more interactive than the flikr group).

I look forward to sharing my experiences and learning new skills with the DPS community.
