Hello members of NPN. My name is Duane and I’m 63 yrs. old at the time of joining. I consider myself an amateur photographer, and photography as one of my hobbies. I first got interested in 1978 when my son was a toddler. That is when I purchased my first camera and began to learn what I could. Over the years, my endeavors to learn and to practice this wonderful art has come and gone several times. My wife and I are now retired and back to riding a motorcycle, which we travel on. Last year I took-up photography again, after not shooting any since late 2007.
I don’t desire to be a working professional, just want to take the best photos I can of the places we visit. So I may have large prints made from time to time for our home, and to share with family and friends. I’ve never been a part of a network such as this, but from what I have read and seen of the images here, this is a good place to be.
