Hi

[ddietiker]

Hello folks.

I have been looking around for a local photography forum. After browsing the pages here this seems like a nice place to land

My name is Douglas Dietiker and I am a landscape photographer. I got started the way many landscape folks do, by hiking and camping in this beautiful area we call home in the pacific northwest.

A little about me. I retired from corporate management a few years ago which has allowed me to spend my time doing the things I love which also includes cooking in addition to photography. I do not market myself but some how people have found me anyway. I am one of the Photographers selected to represent the International Environment Photographers Assoc. and am featured in their international shows. I have been published in Outdoor Photography magazine, I am one of the Featured Photographers for Singh-Ray camera filters and have won several awards and shown my work in some galleries in the Seattle area. I also donate images to organizations to raise money, the most recent will be the Children's Hospital in Seattle Christmas cards this year.

It is nice to meet all of you

Hi Douglas! Glad to see you here too. I think this is going to be a great place for me to visit regularly and meet other local photographers

I didn't know all that stuff about you! You have some great work!

It always feels like bragging Katie, so I don't usually mention too much. But I guess it is important sometimes so people know who you are.

Yes, it's great to hear about that, sounds like you've done some really neat stuff and are quite a skilled photographer. Congratulations and welcome aboard!
