Hi all,

I've been lurking here for a few weeks after joining to congratulate Tony Bynum when he was chosen as Montana's Guest Photographer. So I thought it was time to introduce myself. Rather than do a bunch of typing, I'm posting a bio below that I usually use when needed.


*****
Tony Mandile lives in Glendale, Ariz. and has wandered the waters and woods for more than 50 years in pursuit of game and fish. During that time, he has traveled around North America to fish or hunt in 39 states, 10 Canadian provinces, Africa, New Zealand and Mexico.

Mandile has been a full-time outdoor writer/photographer for 26 years and his 35-year active membership in the Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA) included three years on the board of directors. He has also served on the board of the Western Outdoor Writers (WOW) and the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA), both of which he helped organize. He also was a contributing editor for ARIZONA HUNTER & ANGLER magazine for 10 years, and spent seven years as the Arizona Editor for OUTDOOR LIFE magazine. Mandile finished his first book project -- HOW TO HUNT COUES DEER -- with noted guide Duwane Adams. He's now working on book #2.

Mandile's articles and photos have appeared in OUTDOOR LIFE, FIELD & STREAM, CABELA'S OUTFITTER JOURNAL, PETERSEN'S HUNTING, PETERSEN'S FISHING, AMERICAN HUNTER (NRA), DEER HUNTING, ROCKY MOUNTAIN GAME & FISH, CALIFORNIA G&F, WASHINGTON-OREGON G & F, ARIZONA HIGHWAYS, NORTH AMERICAN HUNTER, PENNSYLVANIA ANGLER, ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPORTSMAN, WESTERN OUTDOORS, BOWHUNTING WORLD, SOUTHWEST SPORTSMAN, SAFARI, ARIZONA WILDLIFE VIEWS and a few dozen other outdoor, conservation and travel publications.

Additional writing and photo credits include books, posters, product packaging, print ads and even the photo on a MasterCard credit card. More than 100 magazine covers have carried his byline. His photos have also won numerous awards in the annual photo contest sponsored by the OWAA, and Nikon selected several to appear in the company's prestigious Outdoor Photographers Showcase.

Welcome Tony! Hope you'll share some of your work here on the forum.

Hi Diana,and thanks for the welcome. I was beginning to wonder if everyone was on vacation.

Although I have close to 100,000 images, about 99,000 are 35mm KR-64 transparencies. And... a lot of the digital ones I have aren't in tune with the subject matter here. I do have a bunch of older scans of some 35s, though, that I can post.

Here's a couple to jump start it. These are very compressed SAVE FOR WEB files from the original TIFF scans.

Hi Tony,

Welcome to the forum. Wonderful images. Impressive resume. That is a LOT of film. How do you keep it organized? Or do you have them all scanned and indexed?

Gorgeous images Tony. Welcome.

Hey Tony,

Welcome to NWP. You have some beautiful work you are sharing.

James

Thanks you Penny and James. I posted several more wildlife images under the
Some Misc. Critters thread.

Hey Tony,

I saw them. Very nice work. As I mentioned earlier, your scans are very nice.

James

Very nice, looking forward to seeing more, and expertise you can contribute.
