I’m Cindy Post and my favorite hobby is photography. I am located in Florida, USA. I consider myself an amateur photographer and a novice in post-processing.
I use a Nikon Z 6 III and a Nikon Z 50 currently.
Brad Ashbrook
My father, Stan Ashbrook, got me started at a young age and have been shooting for over 35 years. I shot the newspaper and yearbook all through middle and high school. I attended Rochester Institute of Technology and received my Bachelors in Imaging and Photographic Technology in 1987. The first couple of jobs were photography related including a sales position with Sinar Bron. After that, I worked in the computer industry for several years and finally landed in the audio visual industry for the past 30 years.
I started out with Minolta film cameras and purchased my first 1.3mp digital camera in 1999. I then upgraded to a 3.1mp, and finally bought my first DSLR, the Nikon D70 and several other models including the D800. I then converted to the Sony a7 series for landscape, astro, travel and bought the Sony a9 for sports, birds & wildlife. Then just recently, as I have gotten older, 61 in January, I decided to move everything to the OM system. I have a OM1-MK2, OM5 and a lens range from 7 to 400. The weight reduction for traveling has been amazing and I am very happy with the image quality. I use a variety of software solutions including the Adobe suite of PS & LR. I also use DcO PureRaw, NIK Filters and a few others.
I have been a member of PSA a couple of different times and at one time participated in Stereo Exhibitions. Now, I am the secretary for 2 print portfolios and a member in 1 other. I was also a member and secretary of 2 EID circuits. This is the primary way for me to share images besides my Facebook.
I have recently re-married and have 2 kids, my daughter graduated from the Naval Academy, received her Masters Degree from Harvard in May of 2026, and is an officer and married. My son graduated from the University of Florida in 2021 and is currently working in analytics, getting his Masters from Georgia Tech in December and have a beautiful 2 year old named Maverick.
Looking forward to viewing and commenting on everyone’s work.

Danielle Collier
Hello! My name is Danielle. I have been interested in photography for as long as I can remember, but things really shifted for me in 2009 when I bought my first DSLR. That camera opened the door to a hobby I loved, even if I didn’t dive into the technical side right away. It wasn’t until last year, when I joined PSA, that I truly committed to learning the skills within photography to allow me to shoot in manual modes.
Landscape photography is where I feel most at home. I enjoy trying to capture a scene in a way that reflects how it feels to stand there. I’m currently focused on improving my editing, composition and lighting skills. I am enjoying the process of learning as much as I can. I am here to keep growing, connect with other photographers and be inspired by those around me.

I've been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to join this photography community for education and enrichment. I've shot photos since the 1970's and have deleted images since the 1990's.I was captivated by photography as a senior in high school in order to join a club in the YMCA because camping and cooking were taken!I took photo classes at local community colleges and attended onsite workshops while studying pre Physical Therapy coursework. The workshops were primarily in Florida and California. Ding Darling National Wildlfe Refuge and Corkscrew Swamp really helped to develop my interest in identifying and shooting birds. Trips to Yosemite and Eastern Sierra in the fall provided positive experiences with nature and landscapes. I won a few local and national contests but did not quit my day job as a physical therapist.I managed to join a local camera society in the San Francisco Bay area to get me out of the clinic for several times a month. I found the critiques from judges in the local and state chapters to be extremely insightful and helpful. I made some lifelong friends at meetups and conferences.I retired from private practice 6 years ago with my wife Holly. We have grown kids in the Seattle area. While sheltering in place in Pismo Beach,Ca during the pandemic, I practiced intentional camera movement with my Google android phone. I know some of the images broke the rules of composition and exposure to some degree. It was difficult to replicate the settings and predict the results because of the nature of long exposures. I hope that some members of the group are familiar with androids so I can learn some pointers. I will welcome feedback from the group regarding future images. My goal is to turn ordinary images into extraordinary photos.I shoot a mirrorless Canon R7 for telephoto shots but pretty much use my google pixel 6 pro daily for abstracts,nature and scenics. I'm looking forward to learning about post processing raw images on phone. I returned recently from an expedition cruise to Norway and Svalbard in June. I'm looking forward to sharing my images and participating with this active group.
David Kepley
David's father was in the military, so he was raised in many different places, but went to high school on the north New Jersey shore. He went to college at Gettysburg College and graduate school at the University of Maryland. While working at the US Forest Service over 40 years ago, he was inspired by one of his colleagues to take up photography. A trip in which he visited some of the great parks in the American west cemented his lifelong love of trying to capture the beauty and majesty of the natural world. After his retirement, David has taken a number of different classes and workshops to perfect his craft. He is currently first vice president of the Vienna Photographic Society. His works have been juried into Nature Visions Photo Expo for the past four years, as well as the Joseph Miller Abstract Photography Exhibit. His work has also won many awards at his photo club. A passionate devotee of our national parks, during the 2016 centennial year David and his wife visited 10 different parks, capturing thousands of images of them! He hopes that the sense of awe and majesty that he sees in the natural world will inspire you as well.
Alan Kiecker, QPSA
Al first picked up a camera fifty years ago and has not put it down since. Although most anything that happens to be in front of his camera may likely become a subject of his photos, he particularly enjoys sports and action photography, night photography of the city lights, and scenics of all sorts. Al is active with the Minnesota Valley Photo Club and regularly submits his photos to their monthly salons and displays his work in various venues supported by the club.
Samples of his work may be found on his website: http://www.OurVisualPointOfView.com/
