Hi! My name is Chris Ducat. I live in Massachusetts. As of this moment, I would say I've been a member of Wikipedia for quite some time (April 2004). At the time Wikipedia seemed huge, but it had 250,000 articles, compared to the 5 million+ today! I haven't done too much editing, although I have started some pretty major articles. Here's some stuff I've done so far (updated not as often as it should be):

Picture of the Day

I'm an amateur photographer and always love to see well done pictures

Another good place to find good pictures of the day: Steve's Digicams


Wildlife photographer in a ghillie suit standing and holding a camera
A ghillie suit is a type of camouflage clothing designed to resemble the background environment, such as foliage. Typically, it is a net or cloth garment covered in loose strips of burlap (hessian), cloth, twine, or jute sometimes made to look like leaves and twigs, and optionally augmented with foliage from the area. Military personnel, police, hunters, and nature photographers may wear a ghillie suit to blend into their surroundings and to conceal themselves from enemies or targets. The suit gives the wearer's outline a three-dimensional breakup, rather than a linear one. When manufactured correctly, the suit will move in the wind in the same way as surrounding foliage. Some ghillie suits are made with light and breathable material that allows a person to wear a shirt underneath. This photograph of a wildlife photographer in a ghillie suit, standing and holding a camera, was taken in a forest in the Jura Mountains near Marchissy, Switzerland.Photograph credit: Giles Laurent
