Hi, I discovered this well organized, sophisticated site when I searched for P4P, where I had been an active member from 2004-2010. It was helpful to read a bit on the history of MCC/P4P. Kevin had recruited a friend Susan, RIP, who brought me in--I learned a great deal there from the critiques and looking at others' images. The past few years I've been making family photo books for my grandchildren; last year I set up a website that has a handful of my photos (annepatchell.com). Now I'm interested to see what's been going on Down Under and improving my skills!

These days my main camera is a lightweight Sony DSC-WX500; I also use my Samsung smartphone camera, and, occasionally, my old Canon EOS5D (on a tripod). I still like to photograph my pets, birds, landscapes, and city scenes, but am now working hard to edit the many images sitting in folders awaiting Photoshop.

I live in Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C., in the United States. In the early 70s I visited Sydney (the Opera House had been built but not officially opened) and Townsville. I'm looking forward to meeting you and seeing your galleries.

Welcome Anne, there are a few of (us) the old P4P members on here. P4P unfortunately ended in decline. Kevin also has passed away. Peter took over the running and the MCC sold the site. Eventually it just faded to a shadow of its former self.

Looking forward to seeing you on the forums.
