The R. stands for Roger. I go by Roger or David(I'm on this forum as David Lee)...but anything Christian will do...:)
I'm semi-retired from 3M S.Dak, 61 yrs old, and have been shooting since the days of owning an OM-1 with a 50mm lens. I got into digital photography about 10 years ago with a point and shoot and have been working my way up equipment wise since then.
Photography is my main hobby. I would consider myself a serious amature but I have made some $$$ off of my photography...mostly from teaching and some from shooting for the local newspaper...sports.
My main photographic love is birds and wildlife. However, to be honest, I do most of my shooting in my own back yard as we live along a river and wildlife abounds here.
