EXIF Challange:  What type of camera took the above pic in 2006?

A Kansas native, I have lived in many different places, but Kansas is home.  Upon graduating with a BA in Economics from the University of Kansas.  I spent four and half years in the commodity industry working at the KCBT or CBOT.  In 1997, I got into tech full time.  I have held numorious positions over the years, but technical training was always my first love.

I hold a MS in Cyber and Information Security from Capitol Technology University.  I also hold numerous industry certifications.  Many in Cyber.  I have reflected on my career and almost all including the commodity industry relates to Risk of some kind or another.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, antiquing and reading about the lastest Tech.
