    Hello everyone,

    My name is Nick and I joined EC to make friends and to help those out as well and also to maybe get help with my life. I'm currently 23 years old and well I'm a very friendly type of guy that loves to do photography on nature and to try new food. I'm sorry If this sounds awkward just I wasn't sure what to include in here but thought I would come here to EC.

    Hi Nick, welcome to EC! :slight_smile: I also do nature photography (as a hobby, I'm mediocre at best probably). Still haven't done snow photos for fear of ruining my camera but it's fun.

    Later model Iphones have a decent camera with some cool features. My brother has one and he took some good fall pictures on it. I use a small DSLR camera and it works pretty well.

    Nick.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome to Empty Closets! :old_smile: I can remember the first post that I made on EC. I was desperate for help and I got the help that I so needed. I hope that we can help you in the same way that I received help so many years ago. The most important thing to remember about Empty Closets is that we do care about you! We're very glad that you found us here on Empty Closets and hope that we can answer questions, give support if you need it and provide a place to vent (as long as it's not violent!) :old_big_grin: when that becomes necessary! There are 18 different sub-forums here that you can check out and join in the conversations or start your own thread/conversation. When you have made at least 10 posts on various threads you will be able to post messages on a member's Profile Page. Just click on a member's Avatar Picture and then click on "Profile Page" in the dialogue box that pops up. You'll then be on their Profile Page and there will be a box that says: "Write Something" When you have been on EC for a few weeks and have made at least 50 posts on various forums, you can apply for Full Membership. A Full Member can send Private Messages (PM) to other Full Members and share personal contact info. Right now you can only send a PM to a Staff Member as that is always possible. Here is a quote from the Full Membership information forum: :old_cool:

    *****To be eligible you must be a member of Empty Closets for a minimum of two weeks, and have a minimum of 50 posts. These posts must be across numerous forums (Fun & Games does not contribute to post count), and consistently posted across a minimum of two weeks. You wouldn't be eligible, for example, if you registered, had no activity for two weeks, and then returned to post 50 times on your 14th day of membership.

    *****Well, as I said, we're very glad you found us! :old_rolleyes: If you have any questions at all, you can post a question on my Profile Page or send me a Private Message.

    .....David :gay_pride_flag:

    Hi Nick, and Welcome! Your intro didn't seem awkward to me. I like to photograph nature scenery too sometimes.

    Even if its sounds awkward, who are we to judge? I mean, I've got a freakin' Star Trek insignia for my avatar. So welcome and live long and prosper.
