Hello all! I just wanted to make a quick post here to explain myself and my existance on this forum. Sometimes I just like to be heard!
The last few years Ive been restless. Working a dead end job as a server at a popular establishment here in Chicago. Had a run in with my general manager a few months back that changed my life.
I decided to pursue a lifelong dream of photography. Im beginning classes in Jan of 2010 in a commercial photography program here in Chicago. I started thinking about what type of lifestyle this new career/life path would support. Then all at once it hit me. Traveling photographer!
Boom! Had to hit the ole interweb. Decided upon a vehichle. Sprinter 2500 with the highroof and extra length. Then I found this forum. I love forums! Ive made lifelong friendships because of them. So I have been poking around on here looking for some valuable information on others setups ect. Decided to look at your photo threads and POW! So many awesome people here! I wish I didnt have ADD so bad I would read more!
This is probably going to get moved if I dont put some relevant info in quick. Ive just decided upon much deliberation that I will be purchasing the Canon 7D as my DSLR. It was between that and the Nikon D300s but I decided I liked the IDEA of 1080 video vs dual card slots. I currently shoot with a Canon AE-1 and Canon G10. Im hoping to really make a lot of progress over the next few years towards my ambitions as a photographer and road traveler. Right now Id rank my skills as "PFC GUMP"!
You can catch my photo blog here http://twowordsphoto.blogspot.com/
And if you are really hard up for twitter followers I have one of those as well

In summary I would like to thank those of you on this forum that will contribute to my new life in so many ways and I hope to help you in some way as well!
