Hello,
I live in BC Canada! I come from the most eastern and southern corner of the province, about 1 hr. from the US/Canada border either to the west or to the east! At present, we are living in the northern part of the province and we are moving back to where we came from - sometime before July!!

I am a handicapable person and have to use my electric wheelchair when I leave home. I have MS - Primary Progressive and it took me down so fast that I ended up in a wheelchair only 6 mos after diagnosis (Mar 16/06). It stopped my photgraphy for a few years but I am anxious to get going again as soon as the snow is gone and I can get out and about! I have had some really good ideas and suggestions for approaching photography from my new perspective. I look forward to getting started! It took awhile to get to this accepting part!

I have 2 digital cameras - a Centrios point & shoot and a Konica Minolta Dimage A2. I have been interested in photography since my first 35mm - a Pentax Me which I gave to my youngest dtr a couple of yrs ago, along with all the trimmings - quite a few lenses, filters, etc. I got my first digital camera in 2000 and just kept upgrading until my Dimage A2. Now I am having fun learning how to use it! I hope I can use the tips I learn here to help me out.

I got here b/c of a suggestion from David Peterson (author of some really good digital photography books) and I can see why he recommended this forum! It looks wonderful!!
