So good to see NikonGear crew & The Fierce Bear here
« on: June 16, 2015, 18:25:48 »
Greetings from Atlanta -

It is wonderful to see so much of the NikonGear crew gathered here: my gratitute to Bjørn - and to all who are volunteering their time for this shared community.

I joined NikonGear back in 2007, drawn by Bjørn's insights, and the extraordinary quality of shared information and images - and it is bloody good to see so many of you all here again.

I look forward to wading through folks' introductions, new posts and reposts over time - when things slow down a bit (so apologies in advance for my absences).

I primarily do portrait and stage work in metro Atlanta, and regionally as far as Charleston and Houston - and I love shooting architectural, nature and invisible-light work as time allows.  I prefer ambient light when feasible - supplemented when needed/indicated, and shoot almost exclusively flash in the studio.

As a former dancer, my great passion is dance and dance stage work - and my wife is a ballet choreographer and instructor, and is the subject of much of my non-client photography.  We love living and working together in Atlanta - but wish we had the time and resources to go exploring your favorite haunts.  That said, we look forward to all that is shared here: technical, creative, artistic, personal, etc.

Wishing everyone a wonderful summer and balance of the year!

great to have you on board. I dreamt of becoming a dancer when I was 19, but later became a writer and photographer. I need a silent camera with a longer lens though not to disturb the dance while taking photos. I just tried the X100T to shoot dancing, but 35 equiv is a tad short...

Hi Scott! My greatest single inspirational event was watching Rudolph Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn dance together in Swan Lake and Les Sylphides back in the 1960s. I walked around in a daze for weeks afterward
