Shot over 400 of them during my time in Orlando and that was part time while working at newspaper. No women back then shooting, or not many. With digital, they have saturated the market. No back round knowledge on how the camera works, it just does. I am amazed at some of the questions they query to me.  "What settings do you use for Sports shooting?"      All of them.

I teach orchestra at a private classical school in Idaho, so I'm having none of that BBQ pork in an oil well casing. For me it's wild boar from the king's spear over the great hall hearth!
 
The boar's head in hand bring I Bedeck'd with bays and rosemary.

I am a Public School Music teacher.  Have taught Orchestra, Elementary Music, Chorus, and Music Appreciation.
 
I own a company (Manasquan River Brewing LLC) that handcrafts Mash Paddles and other brewing Implements for Home Brewers, and Custom work for Pro-Brewers. I've sold on ebay & Etsy for a number of years, recently switched over to all wholesale production for big E-tailers, Like MoreBeer! etc. It can get crazy especially, during the period leading up to the holidays, but it's a nice problem to have. I still make time to BBQ, and Brew for family!
