    I work in the creative services department of Lands' End. I work with the images that are displayed on the product pages on our website. My job isn't very creative, but I do get to play in Photoshop almost every day. Most of my time is spent looking at spreadsheets though.

    I pretty much model the water cycle (rain-->runoff-->evaporation-->rain) and see what happens when we make changes to runoff (development, changes to bridges, adding/removing dams, etc).

    Nothing very exciting or creative like some of you I'm afraid. For 25 years I ran the family auto parts business and for the last 12 I've run an insurance agency. For several years I did play-by-play radio broadcast for the local radio station in the evenings. Photography has been a sideline for fun and profit since college.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Computers, basically large Microsoft systems and networks. My speciality is Email systems (EXCHANGE). Most of the time I run projects for large French companies.

    My niche market is French multinationals with international projects that aren't working. The French trust me because they pay me and the other nationalities trust me because I'm not French. And once you have trust you can get things working.
