Title: Hello from New Mexico!!
Post by: Peter on October 30, 2016, 01:01:19

Just wanted to introduce myself.
Pete Lucchini living in White Rock, NM Originally from Chicago but grew up in Florida.
I have been a Nikon junky since reading National Geographic magazines as a kid..

 My first camera was an old Kodak Brownie and then a Canon FT SLR my sister let me use, I eventually bought a Yashica TL-Electro and a half dozen M-42 lenses.
After running that Yashica raged I went to my childhood dream brand Nikon, using mainly Nikon FE, FM2 and F3-HP, Mamiya 645.
Did some free lance work for The St. Petersburg Times as at the time late 80's early 90's they eagerly bought photos from street photographers.
 I got to know a couple of the paper photographers and they would throw me a bone when they couldn't make the schedule.
I stepped away from shooting for some years to much ambulance chasing and death as that was the money maker photos if Fatalities where involved (sick I know)..
Got back into it in 1999 film but then sold all my film cameras I went to Digital some years later D100, D200 now D700.
I enjoy people and nature, motorcycle riding, camping, cooking and playing music and yes creating images. I drag my gear, Gitzo or mono pod on my Duel sport and look for subjects.
Hope I can contribute to this forum and learn many new tricks of the trade.

When you post a reply, there is a line below the text box labelled 'attachments and other options'. Click that and you can browse for local files on your own computer.

Alternatively, if you wish to post images hosted on a web site, use IMG button (leftmost second row of the buttons above the text box) and use this to wrap around the URL of your hosted photo.
