Default Hi! From A DPS Newbie
Hi! I thought I would intriduce myself. I found this fabulous site yesterday and I've been reading, reading, reading since! Kudos for a wonderful learning resource.

I am a mom and a wife and I help manage our construction business from the home office. I am also a scrapbook artist on a design team and have been published a handful of times.

I've always taken a lot of photos and revelled in the excitement when a good one turns out. But I've found myself (just in the last few years) needing to know how to get more "WOW" photos than just "OK" shots. Here I am!

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and participating on this board.

Welcome to your newest addiction! Seriously this is such a wonderful place. The people are friendly, the information you will find here is priceless.
Just pelase make sure that when you post that you check out the guidleines/rules posted at the top of every thread. Each section is just a tiny bit different. That way you'll know without a doubt, how many posts you can do, what to include (or not to include) in your posts.
At any rate, have fun and am very much looking forward to seeing more from you!

Welcome Mandy. I'm sure you will enjoy DPS. There is useful information,often hard to find elsewhere, help is always available, and no question is ever too silly to ask. There's also fun and great humour....enjoy.
