My First Intro

    Hi Folks,
    Just a few words to introduce myself to the congregation, I?m a Yellowbelly (a Wexford man to the uninitiated), a fair description would be, an ?old fart? with delusions of photographic grandeur, far beyond his capabilities.

    Confession time, up to a couple of years ago, I would have spit at the mention of digital photography. Somewhere during the last few years there was ?a road to Damascus moment?, just like Saint Paul there was a conversion, now I?m addicted.

    I?m very impressed with the site, very user friendly, congratulations. I detect a nice sense of humour in the site, some almost as daft as my own. I?d sum it up as; folks take their photography seriously, but not themselves.

    I?ll try posting a few pics, in the next few days. Comments appreciated.

    Regards
    Mike

    I know you, don’t I???

    The “old fart” gave it away, I think. Nice to have a fellow Wexfordman on the site. I was feeling lonely. Fighting the corner was becoming too much.

    Welcome to the site. It’s nice and warm here and a whole lotta fun.

    Hmmm, see you Monday?

    Alan.

    Welcome to the site Mike. From another old fart…hehehe!!

    Looking forward to seeing some of the results of that Road to Damascus conversion….

    We’re big into “conversions” around here…though usually it involves channel mixer or Lab…hehehe!!

    Hi Folks, thanks for the welcome. I?m just a little disappointed that nobody reprimanded me for calling myself an ?old fart?? I?ve been searching for an alternative description for someone of my vintage, they are all dismal, I think I?ll just have to stick with the original ?Old fart?.

    Welcome fellow Yellowbelly. My yellow gut tells me you’re from down the other end of the county.

    Welcome to the PI Mike.
    What’s the minimum age to qualify as an “old fart” :)

    Hi RavenAsh, I refuse to make a statement on the grounds that it might incriminate me.

    Ravenash – I know this guy. Wait till you see his images.

    As regards what constitutes “old fart” think in the way of Victor Meldrew…with a camera. :lol:
