I live in South Florida and used a Point and Shoot camera heavily for 7 years before upgrading to a Canon Rebel XT in 2005. To start off 2008, I upgraded to a Canon 40D. I plan on developing my love of photography into a major hobby that will become a major retirement activity one of these days. My wife and I have a cruise/vacation review website that has lots of pictures in it about the many places in the world we have visited, http://www.thepreismans.com .
