Hi there! My name is Mauricio; from Costa Rica, Central America.

My recent interest in photography started last year when I found myself without a camera to take pictures of my kids in their chorus presentations. They are 7 and 10 years old and part of a chorus as part of their musical training (guitar and piano, respectively). Luckily we borrowed a camera which happened to be a Panasonic Lumix DZ something … a DSLR-like body.

So, recently I found a canon S5is at ebay which I grabbed for $167 … I just could not resist to what I considered to be a bargain and my chance to get a decent camera. Since then, I have been trying to learn about the camera and photography.

I found this website as part of my online search for information and stuck to it. I’ve learned a lot here (and expect to learn more and more …). I want to thank Darren for providing this space, current member for sharing their expertise and their great and inspiring pictures. I hope I can contribute somehow with the fellow members, to be honest, I still cannot figure out how, but time will tell.

Looks like I found a new hobby, and to be honest the main reason I subscribed is the assignments. I kind of need a little push to keep me interested in things and it looks like the assignments will do the trick

Thanks a lot!
