Dorinda Wills, APSA, QPSA
My husband and I live in Dupont, Washington. Other than snapshot photography, I have no photography background at all. I became serious about photography a few years ago when I got my first digital camera. Currently I shoot with a Nikon Z7ii with a variety of lenses. Like so many others, I often use my smart phone as well.
As the Director of Digital Dialogue I enjoy working with the other members of the DDG team. I've learned a lot from PSA and DDG and through various competitions, classes and workshops.
I enjoy participating in this Digital Dialogue group and am happy to have an opportunity to share and to learn with others.
Walter Ho
I am born and stayed in Singapore since birth. I started this photography hobby about 15 years ago. My first DSLR camera is a Nikon 5000 that comes with 2 kit lenses. My second camera is a Nikon 750. I usually take pictures of events, portraits, travels and also snap shots of street photography as well.
I hope to build up my skill sets in photography especially in post editing and be able to learn from all of you in this journey.

Wei Yu
I retired last year, and photography was chosen as one of my hobbies in my retirement life. At first, I photographed lotuses and dragonflies in the lotus pond, then began to photograph humanities and landscapes, and recently began to photograph wild animals. I like photography more and more, and I hope to learn more on the PSA platform.
Ellen Mondschein
I currently live in New Jersey, but discovered photography eight years ago while living in Switzerland. I attended an introductory phone photography walk on the rules of composition which I really enjoyed. At first, I practiced photography for just a few minutes every single day. However, after reading about Project365, I began posting my daily photos on social media. I am currently in my seventh year of this project. Last year, I challenged myself to pick only one photo to post daily. This year, I want to improve and learn different techniques including how to lightly edit my photos.
Leonid Shectman
I am originally immigrant from previous Soviet Union (more exactly from Ukraine). We moved to US in 1978. I am structural engineer, worked in design consulting companies. We lived almost 10 years in Houston, TX after arriving to USA, and then moved to Los Angeles, where are living right now. Last year I retired after more than 50 years of work. Photography was always my passion and hobby, which is really a big help after retiring. Me and my wife like travel all around the world. I mostly taking pictures during our travel time, after retiring we could spend much longer time traveling in different part of the world. I use Nikon D7100 with 18-200 zoom and wide angle 10-16. Also, I am using Photoshop CS5. I hope to have a lot to learn and look forward to interacting with this group.
