Here is brief info about some of our members

In cases where I was not given a photo (so far, that's all cases except my own and Roger Jensen), I used one I've taken. If you have better photos, please submit them to Dave Lundy.

• Dave Lundy

  I was one of the original DMA® members, and have been active in DMA® from the beginning. I was delighted when Millard started the Digital Photography SIG and have enthusiastically participated in it since its first meeting. I got my first camera while in junior high school. My first darkroom experience was while stationed near Goose Bay Labrador - it didn't have running water! I got to use the color lab at Goose Bay a couple times, but didn't get very good results due to lack of experience. A couple years later, I was stationed in Berlin, where I bought a nice German-made 35mm camera, and used it quite a bit and did some of my own B/W processing. After returning to civilian life, I didn't do much photography for several years. Eventually I switched to digital in the summer of 2001, shortly before a trip to Alaska. I've taken far more pictures since switching to digital than I ever did before! And I much prefer a digital darkroom versus a chemical darkroom.

  I have used various photo editing programs, including Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 & 4.0, Corel (formerly JASC) Paint Shop Pro, versions 8, 9, and X, and The GIMP, an excellent free editor available for Linux, Windows, and OS X. I finally bit the bullet and got Adobe Photoshop CS3 in the summer of 2007. I've dabbled a bit with HDRI using the demo version of Photomatix. I have also tried my hand at video editing a few times, using Pinnacle Studio and Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0.

  I am also the webmaster (using the term rather loosley) of www.dma.org, this SIG, and the Linux SIG sites. See my web site for more info, and some photos in my gallery.

  Gary was one of the founding members of the Dayton Microcomputer Association, and has been an active member ever since. He has been president more than once and has also been chairman of Computerfest^®, and president of GEMAIR. GT, as he is known to most DMA® members, has been a friend of Dave Nevel's since before DMA®. Together, they started DMA's UNIX SIG which eventually led to the birth of dmapub (the computer which serves this web site).

  Jessica has been an occasional attendee and is an enthusiastic GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) user.

  Joe is one of our regular participants, and filled in as SIG leader during Millard's sojourn abroad. Joe has been the presenter at several of our meetings and always teaches us something new. He's particularly fluent with the many uses of layers.

  
  

   

• Ken Phelps

  Ken has been a great help to the dmapub and GEMAIR projects from day one. He occasionally gives presentations, usually regarding perl, and is a frequent participant in Dayton Perl Mongers. Ken is also a good photographer, as we hope to soon see at his gallery.

• Lou Childs

  Lou has been an active participant in our group from the beginning, and has served as a beta tester for JASC Paint Shop Pro. She has also helped with Computerfest®, and is the leader of the Digital Textiles SIG. A sample of her work regarding the textiles SIG is the embroidered ducks on her shirt. Sorry about the blur - it was a hand-held shot at 1/8 second without flash [DL].

  
  

   

• Millard Mier III

  Millard started this SIG and was its leader from it's inception in January 2003 through April 2005. He had been involved with DMA® and Computerfest® for several years and had been a DMA® board member as well as Computerfest® chairman.

  For two months in 2004, Millard was privileged to accompany three well known wildlife photographers on a photo safari in India. Millard took us along for a virtual tour.

  
  

   

• Roger Jensen

  Roger (A.K.A. 007) has been a regular attendee and has often shown us some interesting gadgets.

  Roger has been a member of DMA® and the photo sig since shortly after retiring from a 42 year career with NCR where he was the "Head of Product Management for Convenience ATMs". He has had a long time love affair with photography and has used a digital since the early Sony Digital with a 2 inch floppy. He also enjoys travel with his wife of 40 years, Nancy. So, when he isn't photographing grandkids, he will be showing off his travel photos.
