    Default Let me introduce myself ....

    Well, I am a bird photographer and if you want to know more about what kind of work I do ... www.amanosamarpan.com ... would be the place to look!

    Actually, my introduction comes from Artie in a recent Birds As Art newsletter ...

    Amano is about as laid-back a person as exists on the planet. I would say to him, "Amano, you need to be at the car at 5:25 am sharp so that we can leave at 5:30. (He was riding with Denise and me). He would mosey on over from his room at about 5:33 and then take a few minutes putting his gear into the back seat. I was having a bit of a hard time loving what is.... On the second morning I had gotten down on the ground to photograph some skimmers. At about 10am it began to rain fairly hard so we all decided to head for the bagel shop. When I got to the car I realized that my keys were lost. I had placed them in a zippered vest pocket when we left the car early in the morning but Denise had borrowed them so that she could get her flash. When she returned them I stuck them in a pants pocket.... Yikes. So I turned around to walk more than a quarter mile through the sand and rain to the spot where I had gotten on the ground. Amano and Mike were kind enough to join me in the search. (I do not think that the others knew what was going on.) We carefully searched my elephant wallow in the sand without success. Mike and I decided to head down towards the surf where I had been sitting to photograph some Sanderlings. Amano continued to search the disturbed sand. We had barely walked ten yards when Amano called out, "I found them." "How?" I asked. "I was digging around in the sand with my foot." Amazing. No $150 cab ride to the Islip airport. No $250 lost key fee from National Car Rental. No lost afternoon for the IPT. "Amano," I said, "you can be as late as you wish any time. No more rushing on my account."

    Of course, I dispute these events ... it was 5.15 as I remember and I had woken up early and then "nodded off" ... !?! Maybe there was more than one morning though!

    OK .. time to post an image or two to the Avian forum.

    By the way, do I need to be a member to post an image to Avian critiques?

    Just tried to do so and found that the image link required a URL; most of my images are not actually online !!

    Regards

    Amano, if you are a paid member ($20) you can upload directly. If you are a forum participant ($0) then you do need to link from somewhere else online. Let me know if you have any more questions and welcome to BPN!

    I have your book and love it - a photographic guide is as, (and on occasions more) helpful as formal field guides to beginners like me!

    It is really great to have you here in the forum!
