Hi everyone! :D I've been wanting to join this site for awhile now. I got hooked on it taking Photography at the beginning of Junior year in High School. I just signed up a couple days ago and am now getting the hang of things; as well as getting used to my new camera.

I also enjoy that there are people in my age range here, as well. It's nice to know that I wont be the only "youngen" to be critized or looked down upon.

Welcome to the madness. Yo Spiff and I are also in Texas but a bit north of you. Hoping that the next Texas GTG is a bit further south this time, closer to your area then DFW.

Look forward to seeing your picts of Texas.

Remember that the voting is anonymous, so people will vote and comment on your pictures the same as everyone else's. This is one of the few places where "kids" can compete with adults on a "level playing field" as they say. My son

Isaac submitted some pictures when he was only five, and finished ahead of me in one of those ... :-)

There was also a recent "side challenge" expressly for the younger members.

Welcome, have fun, and expect the scores to be a bit lower than you expect at first.

I will expect the scores to be lower. But practice makes perfect, along with the criticism. :)

That's nice to know. Thanks for making me feel welcomed :P I highly appreciate it. What's your stepdaughter's username? I, for sure, will look her up and talk to her about how big of a nerd you are. :D

Well, I expect hard criticism and to be voted upon honestly. I actually look forward to the comments, good and bad, so I learn from it and can improve.
