Since my roll call entry was fairly brief, I'd like to add some info to my introduction.

My name is Stan Reinike. 
32, the day after Thanksgiving. Single, but thinking seriously about giving up my freedom in the 
near future.
Grew up in the Washington, DC metropolitan area and later moved to Ohio in 1981. 
Finished HS in Marietta, OH and went on to Ohio State University to study Criminology. 
Finished my degree at the University of Maryland and entered the US Navy as a Korean linguist.
Attended language school and served in the US Navy in Korea and then back in the DC area.
Currently working as a consultant for Asiana Airlines, based in Seoul, Korea. 

Over the last few years, I became more and more interested in Photography, as I now have many 
more opportunities to travel abroad, as well as more free time and money. I consider Seoul my 
second home and Hong Kong my third home. But, if I had to choose one Asian country to settle down 
in, I would probably choose Hong Kong.
My first camera was an inherited Voigtlander Vito CL, with a broken meter and guess-focus. 
It takes some of the most beautiful color photos I have ever seen. My second was an Olympus zoom 
and third, a Nikon FM10, acquired in HK. I later traded it in for an F70 that failed earlier this 
year, replaced by an F90x(N90s). I also owned an FE2 that I recently traded in for a used M6 with 
a 50F2. I am truly a beginner, but totally hooked on photography, especially over the last 6 
months. I haven't received the results from my first roll from the M6, but I hope to be 
pleasantly surprised. I really enjoy the dialogue here. Thanks.

In response to a previous inquiry: I would file the country under K, not S. Even though Korea is 
divided into North Korea and South Korea. Most Koreans refer to their country as, Korea, not 
South Korea.
