Andrew Klein
I am Andrew (Andy) Klein. My interest in photography began early and at age 11 I convinced my parents to buy for me an Argus c3. 60 years later the passion remains, the cameras are better, and maybe the photos are somewhat improved. I have been in photography clubs for years, even being president of one. I have found them valuable sources of information, skill building, and relationships. I have attended multiple workshops, seminars, and outings. I have taught wet darkroom in New Orleans, photo basics to point and shoot photographers at the Smithsonian, at several topics at photo clubs. I like to photograph all kinds of things, but especially like candid people pictures.

I was born in Culpeper, Virginia in 1943. In real adult life I am married to my childhood sweetheart/next door neighbor since 1963. We have two children -- a daughter and a son and four grandchildren. Professionally, I was a teacher, an Assistant Principal, and a Principal over a span of eighteen years. I changed careers, after obtaining another Master's degree, and for the last twenty-five years I was a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT). I am now retired. My wife followed a similar path in education and as a LCMFT. We have lived in Maryland, Tennessee, Kansas, and Ohio -- we are back in Maryland. We have taught LCMFT "stuff" in Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, Kenya, Romania, England, and various places across the USA. In all of our travels - I get to take a camera. I currently shoot with a Nikon D850, Z5, and P950.
Keith Francis
Fairly new to photography, having started this in 2018 with a Canon Rebel T7i. I'm retired so have lots of time to get out and shoot. I'm a member of 2 local photo clubs and am always looking for ways to improve my images. I equally enjoy the shooting and the post-processing and love the satisfaction of a shot well taken and then post-processed into a final image that lines up with my vision as I was taking the shot. While landscape is my first interest, I enjoy trying new types such as abstracts and street photography, to name a few.
Kathleen Colligan
I'm Kathleen Colligan, a retired middle school science teacher from NE Pennsylvania. A few years ago I joined a birding club which led into my newest hobby of photography. My goal for joining PSA and this group is to learn more in order to improve my photography skills. Birds are my favorite subjects but I also enjoy all kinds of nature

Photography has always attracted me to it , however due to work commitments I never indulged into this hobby. However recently since year 2011 ( that is the time i first Purchase DSLR ) , I started thinking about photography and started to learn the same from online material , google search and youtube videos . I now go on photo tours with like minded photo enthusiasts .I do all genres of photography but my favourite genre is Night photography and long Exposures.
<br />Hence My first submittal to PSA community will be from my favourite Genre .

David Garrison
I grew up in southeastern Illinois and became a physician with a life long interest in photography. Since retirement, the hobby of photography and its study has filled much of my time. I'm now an officer in the Naples Camera Club and have been a PSA member for a few years but not active until now. I attended my first PSA convention this fall. I enjoy landscape and wildlife subjects and so far don't do many "people" pictures. I hope to upgrade my photo abilities by being in this group.
