Hi there my names Erik. My background is ten years in the IT industry. I'm a total n00b to photography so I'm in the process of sponging up all the info I can find on line. About a month or so ago I got fed up with all the crappy shots I was getting from my old PS so I took the plunge and bought a 350D and I've been having a blast ever since. Up till now I thought computers were an expensive hobby but now this whole new world has opened to me and my wallet seems to have shrivled!
Anyway you probably wont see me post too much as I just soak up all the info that I can for awhile. But if you have a question about computers I'm your man!
Full Version: Total n00b
Hi there Erik!

I had to start a photo business in order to pay for all my camera stuff. And people actually hire me and then I buy more stuff. I think I probably spend $200 on camera stuff for every $100 I make. So, just to let you know, it doesn't go away soon. By the time you get all the gear you think you need, they come out with something new, just like in computers.
Anyhow, WELCOME aboard!
Welcome...soak up the info like a sponge...just don't tell your wallet that you are spending so much time here. 
Hey there Erik! You'll love OSP it's been great to me!

Sponge away - that's how I've learned my vast amount of photo related knowledge. And I mean VAST. heehee
Welcome Erik, you won't be a nOOb for long. This place is very addicting. Jump in if you feel the urge.
