I've always felt as tho' I'm on the wrong planet......

My best day ,ever,felt like this.....


In silence,more eloquent than tears,
In darkness,deeper than the night.
In nameless places,without fears,
The bird,that is my soul,takes flight.
c 1985



I'm known as "Dusty" bit shy here,as only today realized this may be me

At 50,just starting a new career,living in Asia,now-a Brit.

Love photography-learning,music-listening,net-learning-future geek ! ( I just fixed my own PC,first time,and l adore the feeling of empowerment,yes I can !)

Looking for a forum home for myself,related to what I have found out,today.

Not yet diagnosed,but it fits like a glove,explains much,and will help me deal with life better,I think.

Spending too much time,online,like -sci-fi books,news,photography in all its forms,people, friends to connect with online.
:
I left school in,um,1980,with lots of exam passes.

For music-anything played with passion and style,very broad tastes,from classical,to Metallica(a few) via folk,dance,middle eastern,pop and back.

Re books:Not much time for reading at present,but periods in my life where I do nothing but read usually correspond with illness/travel/hardships Again,very broad likes-Sci-fi,novels,classics,biographies...
.
Best TV shows/Movies:
Boston Legal..Grays Anatomy,Malcom in the middle.

Not a sports fan really,like to walk and dance.

Family set-up, teenage children,extended HUGE family

My dress code is pretty much Invisible/black...try not to stand out..to photograph better (Camera goes everywhere I go)
.I can be found in a sarong when relaxing.

Found you by Googling hundreds of links..thank you !

Some photography work,pics used by bands/friends online.

Aiming to master photography,get own website,blog,write and work from home .

Welcome to Wrong Planet, DustyLens!

Courageous of you to relocate to another country and start a new career, I'd never have the nerve.

Good luck with your photography - it's a terrific hobby.

And, BTW, it stinks to get to our age before learning there's a reason for all the social foolishness, doesn't it? Such a waste. It's good people are getting a diagnosis and some help so young these days.

Hi DustyLens, photography has often been the eyes I wish I saw through at times, a world I never quite connected too, as for spending too much time on the pc... I see it as my extended family the asd one that is :wink:

"Courageous of you to relocate to another country and start a new career, I'd never have the nerve."

LOL,me and 50 members of my family....I can't take credit,only brave behind a lens...now there's a thought...

"And, BTW, it stinks to get to our age before learning there's a reason for all the social foolishness, doesn't it? Such a waste. It's good people are getting a diagnosis and some help so young these days."

Yeah it does ! Looking into how much my kids have,if any,of this..very,very gently.

"photography has often been the eyes I wish I saw through at times"

That was me,2 years ago-cameras are very cheap,right now,PM me for recommendations,if anyone's interested,
I subscribe to no "brands",shoe-stringing it all the way....But starting a new biz and reading up on the "Big Guns".

"as for spending too much time on the pc... I see it as my extended family the asd one that is"

I have one of those,also-feeling rather at home,here-thanks so much for a warm welcome :D
