Please welcome Allan Engelhardt to PPF as a moderator.

Hi all,

I'm really happy with the way this site is going. I wish I had more time to promote it, but that's another story.

I'm working 2 jobs right now to try and "get my gear" together, so I've offered Allan Engelhardt, a regular contributor as most of you are probably aware, to help me moderate.

I asked Allan to give me some biographical info to post, and I'll just get to it instead of saying what only he can say:

I'm Danish but currently living in Bedfordshire, England. Started to take pictures seriously a copule of years ago covering local and national events (see my viking pictures on my web site). It was a good way to get started: I could usually sell a few images to the local papers, council, tourist information, charities, whatever. Not making much money, of course, but having the satisfaction of somebody wanting your images and of seeing them published.

Branched into travel photography with a trip to Seville as a learning experience. It is surprisingly hard and I am still learning. My acquaintance Dan Heller (http://www.danheller.com/) is a fine inspiration for those who are interested in this line of photography (anybody for a professional travel photography forum :-) ?).

Very recently started to get involved in commercial photographs: portraits and products. Just done a few sessions for some local charities, but I hope to expand this line of business. A useful resource (yes! with portraits) is http://www.willcrockett.com/, and Will is also a friendly, helpful and inspirational man.

Oh yes: I also have a "real" job, but it has nothing to do with photography.

Thanks Allan, and welcome aboard. shawn
