Hi there, I'm Ronnie. I signed on with DPS a couple of months ago and boy! have I learned a lot in that time! Really made me think outside the box. This site is amazing! Plenty of valuable tutorials, nice people and great photographs.
I've loved photography ever since I saw my friends photos she had taken with an SLR camera about ## years ago.
I owned a Pentax K1000 for many years and finally traded it in for a Canon 350D about three years ago. I've taken about 8,000 pics with it and have just sold it to a friend as I'm trading up to a Canon 40D, so it won't look quite so strange hanging off my Canon L series 24-105mm IS lens. Nah, it's the weather-resistance and the bigger screen that got me in. I also have the Lensbaby lenses as I think that they are awesomely artistic and really get the creative juices flowing.
I'm an artist when I'm not taking photographs. I paint narrative work incorporating metaphor and symbolism and I absolutely love anything creative.
Thanks for having such a great site,
Ronnie
