Carl Kuntze has been a member since 5 April 2008 and goes by Kuntze.

I'm a craggy 76 year old traveler photographer whose contributions has been published in Asian English language periodicals, very few the past two years because I was passed over by digital technology. I have since obtained a Canon EOS XTi digital camera, which I am still learning to use. As soon as I memorize all the buttons in the controls,
I expect to get reoriented.
