This looks like a good place for support and info.
After 3 years of working on Web/Java/Animation, I picked up a GL1. Now I'm a little overwhelmed, it's all new.
What I really want to do. Is bring it all together some how.
Having spent a little time in Vancouver, Minneapolis seems like a wasteland.
Anybody else from this area?

Welcome aboard! I can imagine that things must be a little bit
overwelming at first. I had that too about 6 months ago when
I first started. But I learned a lot from reading and discussing
things at this place. Together with actually using my camera
(always the best way to learn) I'm amazed at where I am today
in retrospect of where I was last year.

I spent 8 years freelancing in the Minneapolis area before moving. I've heard things have changed up there, and I still have some good friends who get regular work on features, commercials, and industrials. There seemed to be a good corporate market there as well.

Hope good things happen for you there.

Brrrrrr
