I have not been on this site for several years. I'm a hobbyist photographer in Northern IL. I enjoy landscape and astrophotography. I wish I could get out more for street photography, but I was not blessed with a trust fund :-( I try to take annual photo trips and have been visiting National Parks around Northern CA and Utah. I am hoping to take photo trips to Glacier, Banff, Denali, and Iceland. Unfortunately, most of my friends are not into photography and it limits my photo trip activity. It's probably not a good idea to hike alone or at night for astrophotography :-D Please feel free recommend any MUST see places.
