Greetings from Montana

[BigZ]

Howdy Pardners.... Yup, that's how we do it in this neck of the woods ;D

My name is Paul, and I'm from Missoula, Montana, nestled in the mountains in western Montana. I am 48, and have been doing graphic arts for the last 18 years. I am also an avid amateur photographer. I have done a lot of portrait touch yp, and do some restoration work also for my current job.  I am currently working as a monument designer (that's right pardners, yer kinfolk will see me after yer in boot hill.) In that job, a lot of people want to place pictures of their loved one on the stone, but it is amazing how bad most of the images they give me are.

I have 2 kids who are a hand full, ages 15 and 17. My hobbies are of course photography, computers, gaming, Sci-Fi, and a little bit of just about everything else.

Well a Howdy back at you BigZ,

Looks like you have a great sense of humor as well as the skills to fit right in here. Interesting about your work as a monument designer and maybe the kinfolk might see your work unless they plan on going up in smoke.

Thanks for volunteering.

Hi, BigZ, and welcome! You'll find a lot of new challenges with these storm damaged photos, but it's very rewarding work.
