I love the sport (ice hockey) but its not the easiest thing to watch on TV. I think my eyesight actually got worse as I squinted my way through an NHL match on Foxtel once. Only table-tennis is harder on your eyes...

But you gotta love them power plays!

[RichS.]

Hi I am new. Was invited by Julian from rec.photo.digital to come over and hang with you all. I'm late 30's and been into photography on and off since about 1982.
I was into slides and very little flash photography. My camera of choice forever has been the Nikon FM2 totally manual camera but I have recently given up film for a Nikon 5700.

I am interested in doing large scale cooperative photography of different sorts. I'm always trying to come up with ideas that would incorporate large numbers of photographers and/or photographers in different locations to photograph subjects beyond the resources of a single photographer.

Some of my ideas are down right silly but some are interesting. Hopefully by brainstorming with you all we can come up with some worthy projects we could all take part in.

Sincerely,
Rich

[peter]

That's an awesome idea... we can post info on latest sales... places to get bargain... the art of grooming, jewelry - oooh love the bling bling and yes jazz - isn't Buble gorgeous???

Yes... we can incorporate photos into that... like the gorgeous fairy with a yellow tutu perhaps?

Of course males are more than welcome to join if they are into that too
