Hello my name is John, I'm from the Mid West.
I am a Network Systems Administrator, with a wife and 3 children, I was a Navy Combat Photographer for 13 years, I was out of Photography for 10 years, burnt out... with the children I started getting back into it, I was strictly a film guy, but I'm getting used to using a digital camera, it is a lot cheeper than shooting film...
I have always loved photography and I'm just looking around and maybe I will be able to help, and get pointers in portrait photography, the Navy didn't allow for much creativity in portraits.
I have only just started uploading current photos to my Flickr account... but would appreciate any kind of creative criticism if you happen to take the time to check them out.

Thanks
John
