Hi, I'm 47 years old, married with a 15 year old son and have been taking pictures for 30 years, but seriously as a hobby for about 7 years. I love gritty B&W images and City life. I try to take pictures that I like and to improve as best I can. I do tend to be in awe of some of the images posted here, it does give me something to attain to. Hope to make some new photographic friendships as well. Thanks
