[QUOTE="Nostalgic Memories, post: 5218, member: 2198"] Saying a quick hello from the Olympic Peninsula, directly across from Seattle Washington. I have lived in the Pacific Northwest for 20 years, although my travels take me to many other regions, climates and beautiful areas. My camera of choice currently the Nikon D300, which I have shot with now for the past two years, prior to that I put my D70 through the paces and still use my tried and true D70 as my backup cam. Going strong as ever! My interest in photographing varies a great deal. As for natural scenery tropical climates interest me greatly and so does the natural beauty of my own back yard~ The Pacific Northwest. Rugged as it is. I spend a lot of time in the Hawaiian Islands, where my interest in photography was used to help promote Hawaiian Music Artists for a number of years. I have hosted a Fan Appreciation website for entertainer/singer Danny Couch for over 10 years.
