Greetings All!
Just wanted to introduce myself and tell ya a little be about myself. My name is Chris and I have been shooting digitally for about a year. I'm not a pro, just a dedicated amateur, someday I'd like to take it further. I'm currently shooting Nikon, D100, but the recent price drops of D2h make it look very nice. I found this site looking for "sloppy boarders" for my prints. I read about the NitorixBorder and purchased it. Love it! Its what I have been looking for. I'm very envious of all of you who are doing this for a living. I've read some of your stories and they are quite remarkable. Please feel free to take a look at my site and let me know what you think. I've attached 2 of my more recent photos.
Thanks for reading!

Got some nice shots Chris!! I'd love to see more of your stuff... Love the tattoo one.
Let me introduce myself.... My name is Gregg and I am currently studying fine art portraiture and doing gallery showings... my style is more towards the non traditional end as I shoot alot of gothic styled portraits... Right now I am currently shooting on a Nikon N60 and am hoping to switch to digital soon...
Nice to have you aboard...

Really nice to have you here. This is a great community for everything. There are a lot of brainy people here and it is so nice to pick their brains. Knowledge and humility run neck and neck around here so you won't find much boasting, but you will find a lot of good answers and AMAZING work. Welcome!!
Blessings,
TRicia

Hey Chris!
Glad you're here! That's a sweet tattoo shot! I think we might have another tattoo shot coming up soon from another member!

Nitorix rocks! - Is that one of Nitorix's borders?
Good choice to go digital!
Cheers!

Chris,
Great to see you here! Nice shots, buddy. Tattoo shots are an interesting genre. I've never photographed a tattoo, even though I have a big a** dragon on my arm. I love the vibrant, contrasty colors of a brand new tattoo. Too bad they fade over time . . .
Keep it up!
Brian
