I'm Christopher. I'm obviously new. I found this site on another forum and even bookmarked a couple articles, but never looked at the forum here until today.

I'm from California, but was a military brat, so I've more than a few places; even more since joining the military myself. I currently live in Germany with my wife and our crazy dog.

I've always taken pictures and snapshot over the years, but I never was much interested in "Phototagraphy". That is, trying to say something with the photos that I took. And I went on like that until the wife and I took a trip to London last year. I got bit by the shutterbug and that was such a fantastic trip that I wanted to learn how to preserve future vacations with quality pictures.

I started with a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200 and quickly moved on to Pentax K200D and then a K10D. And I haven't looked back since. Even my guitars are gathering dust right now!

I think that this just might be what I've been looking for as far as learning goes. You can only read so many books or magazines and finding a professionally taught class in Germany for english speakers is tough.

So yeah, I look forward to learning a lot more and having some fun.
