I am looking to connect with talented people and create stunning photos.

Hey Ron... welcome to the forums on your first post.  We're about 45 minutes east of you with loads of creative MM members attending 'Taco Tuesday' every Tuesday... details on our MM port (scroll down to Taco Tuesday info).  You're welcome to come out and join in on the funtimes.  All 'first timers' get 2 free tacos on their first meeting...
