newbie just joined

i just stumbled upon this site in a rather convoluted fashion, but am very glad to find it. i have been a photographer for years, mostly doing my own thing, however i do photograph hardware and supplies at work. fun, huh?

i love old barns, which i see is a common passion on here. living in rural minnesota, i get to see them a lot, including the one in my yard, and have been capturing them for at least 5 years. i hope someday to do a book (doesn't everyone?), but i have produced a small calendar for the last couple of years and sold it locally.

my first digital camera was an epson 750, and that seemed so incredible. now i see where we have come and it's amazing. i have had an epson 800, 3000, then a canon powershot a95. i just purchased a canon s2 1s especially for it's long telephoto lens, and at work i have a canon g6. those two are my favorites. i work in photoshop on a mac.

if someone can tell me how to post a photo, i can jump in with both feet and let you take a shot at my work.

oops, link didn't work.......i am still working on setting up a page, but i just got a brand new computer (imac g5 with 20" monitor, i am in heaven) and i have to go back on the old one and deactivate photoshop to use it on this one....

that said, here is a copy of what i am using for the cover of my calendar:

oops, too big. i will have to wait until later. i am assuming photoshopped pix are permitted?

Laurie I think what PF was trying to show you was the search feature here on Dgrin
I typed in barns and here's what I got Barns

Also check out these sticky's (helps in posting)

I am jealous of you new mac setup wish Santa would throw something like that down my chimney
