Who am I?
My name is Ron Bergeron. I've been involved with photography for several years. The existence of (barely) affordable digital SLR cameras is what really got me interested. I was unhappy dealing with film and the lack of control I had over the output since I did not develop and print the images myself. Going digital changed all that.

At this point in time, photography is just a serious hobby. To pay the bills, I'm a Senior Unix Engineer dealing with the design, configuration, implementation, and support of Solaris and Linux based server environments, EMC storage, and VMware virtualization.

Before my current computer career, I was an electronics technician working on high power RF amplifiers, spectrometers, and data acquisition systems used in medical imaging. Before that, I was an active duty US Marine Corps corporal working on the High Power CW radars for the IHAWK antiaircraft missile system.
