My name is Richard Callwood III, and I am from St. Thomas in the U.S.
Virgin Islands, 62 years old, former computer programmer and database
administrator.  I have natural talent in art, though I find that I am
somewhat deficient in the creativity and/or inspiration needed to use it
prolifically.

I have been using POV-Ray since 2003; it's basically been my programming
fix since I left the job market for health reasons.

I tend to create more tools than finished scenes.  (It's that
inspiration problem again.)  I am the 3rd most prolific contributor to
the POV-Ray Object Collection.

I have been slow to start using modelers, though I keep telling myself I
have to learn MakeHuman and the B-thing.  And I often find myself using
POV-Ray for photo editing when I get frustrated trying to figure out how
to do simple tasks with GIMP.
