My name is Fisher, I am 30 and reside in southwest Virginia, and have been an avid collector of Joes since 1982. I lost my entire collection in the mid-90's do to a break-in (along with other collectibles as well, but the Joes hurt the worst) and recently began collecting again as of 2003. I have amassed the entire 1982 line once again, most of 83 and 84, have a large amount of everything post 2002, and now I am focusing on reacquiring the 85 and 86 years.

A friend of mine, who is also a fellow collector, introduced me to Justin "General Hawk" Bell's dios earlier this year, and I began reading avidly, and searched for more and more. I decided after reading the General's dios, ViolentFix's, Tim Elf's, Luke Ellision's, and various others that I have ran across (sorry if I didn't name yours by name) that I wish to begin shooting my own dio stories. I found this board recently and have been looking through all the photos and dios, and I am really enjoying what I have found.

As for my own dio stories, I am currently writing a trilogy of sorts, and I intend to begin shooting this fall. I would shoot sooner, but my girlfriend, her son and myself need a larger place to live, as this one is too small and my Joes have been in storage for 3 months. Seeing as how our lease is up the end of September, once we get settled into our new place in October I will begin shooting, and hopefully finish before winter snows arrive. That is my current goal anyway.

So there you have a little intel about me, the community here seems really tight from what I have read. Before the dios arrive, I shall be submitting a few photographs of my own to get a feel of angles and receive any constructive feedback you gentlemen could offer. Thanks for your time, and I look forward to more interaction with the community from here on out.
