http://michaelnel.smugmug.com/San Francisco/ Although at one time I was deeply into photography as a hobby (had Zone IV and Sinar 4x5 view cameras, my own 4x5 darkroom, read everything Ansel and Fred Picker wrote), I was away from photography as a hobby for quite a few years, owning a series of point & shoot digitals that I mostly just made snapshots with. A couple years ago I decided I wanted a DSLR, so I bought a Nikon D80 with the 18-135 kit lens. I added several more lenses, bags, Gitzo tripod, etc., and started trying to be serious about photography again. In mid-2007 I became discouraged with my efforts at photography and sold all my Nikon gear. Bought a Canon G9 to use for snapshots. In late July 2008 I bought a Canon EOS 40D, some lenses, and a tripod, gonna give it another go! I don't have any aspirations to become an artist or a pro, but I enjoy doing the best I can with my photography efforts. I make photographs primarily to please myself.
