Good morning... (depending on where you are). My name is Shawn and I am from Dupont, WA just 40 mins. south of Seattle. GO SEAHAWKS!!! I am the resident Technical Director/Production Manager/Scenic Designer at the North Thurston Performing Arts Center in Lacey, WA. I am interested in many things, aquatic photography happens to be near the top of the list right now. I have been shooting my fish with a point and shoot Canon Digital Elph for the last eight or so months. I have recently purchased a Nikon D50 after much research and advice from fellow aquatic photographers. I am simply overwhelmed with the amount of custom settings and features though out of the box I have been taking some great pics. I have posted 2 already here in the gallery. I also love backpacking, moutainbiking, computers, sports, and the typical interests, movies, music, travel and the like. I am happy to be here and I hope to pick all of your brains as I journey down this new path with my new camera. Thanks for having me and I look forward to chatting with all of you.
