Does newest "Senior Member" apply?

I know, a "Senior Member" posting in the newbie forum, someone take his membership away! =D

I did not post in this forum when I first signed up, so I'll introduce myself now.

BACKGROUND
I started with a Nikon 8008 in my early twenties. Life happened and I didn't shoot much for years. However, now that all my Nikon gear is being obsoleted (thanks Nikon!), I've decided to explore what Pentax has to offer and get back into photography, this time in the digital age!

Since I have 100 posts I thought I'd provide a review for you to get to know me!

THREADS I STARTED

Thats easy, the forum provides a built-in query for that, click here.
  1. My Most Under-Commented: Valentine's Day Miracle! - I'm still amazed.
  2. My Favorite: "Beauty Shoot!" or "P-TTL Blinkies" or "A Better Bounce Card"- I had a lot of fun posting this one.
THREADS I CONTRIBUTED TO

Quickly
Miscellaneous posts I want to draw out:
  1. My First: Ice Things / Grand River / Michigan
  2. My Longest Conversation With Asher: High Speed Liquid Photography
Learning Experiences
Posts I've learned something from:
  1. My post from Challenge: Can you make fine Art from this snapshot from my car?: This is where I began to continue my thinking about photography as art, thanks to prompting by Asher and all the others that participated.
  2. My post from Beautiful Street People: my contribution first, then yours!: I got up the courage to photograph people I did not know! Again, thanks to prompting by Asher.
Controversial
Posts where everybody does not agree with me!
  1. My post in Members w/ Zero Posts actually prompted some people to put their first one up!
  2. I know not everyone agrees with my post in Bush as a Terrorist: childish delusional simplicity or provocative artistry? - Please remember! I only get one vote, no need to snuff me! Just use your vote!
  3. In the heated (and sometimes irrational) debate about Global Warming I learned something AND had a thought! That's here: Beyond Al Gore: The OPF Global Warming Debate!
Your reward for reading this far!? Here's a secret - click on my name to view a portrait of me on vacation at The Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island (and enjoying one of the best Long Island's I've ever had!)
