I'm from the SF Bay area. I used to shoot photos with an old falling apart Nikon Coolpix point and shoot camera but didn't let it stop me from trying to find "that one of a kind" image till it up and died on me. Now I have another Nikon Coolpix point and shoot that is quickly falling apart... one day I'll buy a nice D-SLR. Meanwhile, I am Mr. Mom and a part time Picture Framer as well and a retro rocker musician. Anyways, long story short... my dying camera and I love to take photos.
