Before I joined Flickr my exploration into its vastness affected me profoundly. The beauty, quality and humanity of the images overwhelmed me. Now that I have begun making my humble contribution to the Flickr pool I hope that I may enrich, in return, those who explore its wonders. I don't travel much and my cameras are simple, so Flickr has become my eyes to the world. May Flickr live forever.

Truly, Steven D. Coats, amateur photographer.
