Hi I'm a guy that didn't have anything to do with art and I wound up in Rome as a 18 year old walking through Vatican city and looking at the masters work with a bunch of drunk marines. I was amazed and when I was in my 50s I got my 1st camera and had more fun with it. Now I'm still a hack but it takes me away from life when I'm out shooting it or processing and I'm picking it up slowly. I'll never be called a fast learner. It's kind of an escape for me that I enjoy. I mostly shoot Dogs, wildlife and bugs, as it's people I try to get away from. Thanks to all that took a moment to look at it. Mike

*-* Hello Mike. Most of your photos, maybe all of your photos, deserve a glowing review. Naturalist photos (of things from Nature) are the most difficult to take, but they are also the ones that give the most pleasure to share. Knowledge of the things of Nature, knowledge of the things of Life, patience, observation. High-level "know-how" and practice of photographic techniques. The walk, the hike. And of course: photographic sharing. "See and Observe!" A warm Bravo, encouragement and congratulations for your photographic production and the quality of your collections! The Best for you and for your whole family! *-* Bonjour Mike. La plupart de vos photos, peut être toutes vos photos, mériteraient un commentaire élogieux. Les photos Naturalistes (des choses de la Nature) sont les plus difficiles à réaliser, mais aussi ce sont celles qui donnent le plus de Plaisir à partager. La connaissance des choses de la Nature, la connaissance des choses de la Vie, la patience, l'observation. Un "savoir faire" et une pratique, de haut niveau, des techniques photographiques. La promenade, la randonnée. Et bien sûr: le partage photographique. "Voir et Observer!" Un chaleureux Bravo, encouragement et félicitation pour votre production photographique et la qualité de vos collections! Le Meilleur pour vous et pour toute votre famille!

Not only does Mike have a natural eye as a photographer (sharp well composed images with fantastic color balance) but he is a truly kind human. Artists sometimes get stereotyped as selfish and moody so thank you Mike for being an unexpected but appreciated Flickr connection.
