I switched to Trad in 08" but didn't join here till 09", a lot has happened between then and now and I will share some photos of what the journey has looked like.

This was my setup my first year, 08"......

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki
