Hey Craig Welcome aboard!   Nice to have you aboard.  Phancon looks to be at AMARC again.  I should have looked at the home page for your name.  No airliner show soon?

About me?  My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my...

Ah, oops.  That's Dr. Evil, not me.

Not much to say about me! Been shooting for a while, primarily military aircraft statics.  I got into this originally for model building... then the photography uh... took off.  I'm primarily a slide shooter (K25/K64) supplimented by digital.  Equipment to date has been Canon F1s, assorted drives, lenses and a T70 for certain situations.  I got a Canon G6 about 2 years ago as a transitional system and have really enjoyed exploring how to use it, and working around its limitations.  I'm now building out a Canon 40D system plus film system.  IOC will be in the next several weeks.

Hey Damon - hello!  Airliner show at the Hacienda is 26 Jan (I think).  I think I may just make PhanCon this year - there was no way I'd do St. Louis...  Anybody going to Cable next weekend?

Here's a shot from TOA...  Recognize anyone in the background?

Nice shot Craig.  Film and Slides?  What is that? ;)  Welcome to the digital age.  <rocker>  I love my 40D.  But still love to look thru and buy slides as you know.    Still trying to get Dave on board too.  Look fwd to see your shots (especially Pt Mugu)  :)
