Happy new Year from a new list member (Charles Braswell)
Hi everyone. My name is Charles Braswell Jr and I've decided to join the list today after lurking for quite a while. I've been checking the posts daily for around a year and a half and have enjoyed the posts and links to so many interesting topics. I'm a regular attendant at the Grandfather Mountain Nature weekends and a lot of you have already met me and knew that I was lurking on the list. I look forward to meeting many more list members in the future. I'm a professional outdoor, travel and nature photographer. I've also done weddings, sports and special occassion photography. I use Pentax equipment and shoot 35mm and 6 X 7. I've also got some sentimental Canon equipment from the days when I was using the FD system. Thanks for letting me come aboard (Please don't rock the boat :-) ). Charles

Sounds like you almost need no intro - I'll say hi at GFM. Lurking for 18 months? Jees, how many times before that did you write a reply to some thread, then delete it at the last minute?

I've known Charles for several years now, and at the risk of swelling his head, he's really one of the "good guys".

Thanks for >letting me come aboard (Please don't rock the boat :-) ). For those who don't know, Charles was "Best of Show" winner at GFM in 2003. Listmeister Brewer and I judged he's the contest (just so you don't attach *too* much credibility to his win!) and Charles's photo is the one for which I unofficially re-named the awards: Instead of "Honorable Mention", "Runner-Up" and "Winner", I suggested they be categorized as "Great Shot", "I Wish I'd Taken That One" and, "I Hate This Guy!" ;-) Here's Charles' winning shot: http://www.grandfather.com/events/naturephoto2003/leaf_Braswell.jpg (It looks even better as a print or projected) He *also* won the Wildflower category: http://www.grandfather.com/events/naturephoto2003/flame_Braswell.JPG -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com

Not so much walked as jumped off a trampoline through a plate-glass window... but yeah, same idea. :) chris On Fri, 2 Jan 2004, frank theriault wrote: > Chris, > > I kind of walked right into that one, didn't I? > > -frank > > "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.

When I was first considering GFM and browsing their website, I looked over those photographs! I was completely blown away by them both, and particularly the leaf one. I am humbled to be in such talented company... tan.
Re: Happy new Year from a new list member (Charles Braswell)
Gee thanks Tan. After seeing your photography I'd say you are very talented as well. Charles
