Hello, 60somethingyo(tho not retired yet) guy who happens to hail vision as the most powerful and influential sense in life. I love photography as a hobby and flickr.com as well. Yes, I am a helpless flickr.com addict. You might notice that my visual interests vary widely. Someday I'll acquire better equipment to explore portrait and glamour photography. I am proud of my contacts; more so of those who consider me theirs, and especially those who are mutual friends. Please inform me if you're going to use any of my pics, as they are copyrighted. I will use the same courtesy to you as well.

Photography is such an art, and a world onto its own; and there is never a day that passes that I not log in to view flickr.com. Latest Update for 2017:

Thank you folks who I just added on my following list. Special thanks to those who responded with f/f. I'm really having a visual fest from those of you with rich, varied photo subjects. I view them with utter fascination and delight.

SPECIAL NOTICE: If you wish to follow me; please have 2 things; a photostream and a picture avatar. if you don't, i'll contact you and issue a warning. thanks much.

2021 update:

Wow! what an unusual/weird year 2020 was-year of Covid. Those whose life/lives were cut short; or interrupted in a severe way(i.e. job loss/delay, drastic negative changes, i feel for them. i myself lost 2 good friends to that dreadful disease, but dodged being infected by it.

I am so pleased flickr.com pressed on showing many active photographers the work they're sharing. Now with restrictions beginning to lift little by little, life is making that stride to get back to normal again,...or close to it.
