I follow the standards and protocols of street photography dating back to our image making ancestors in the previous century.

Photos of individuals are presented with respect and are intended to artistically show the spontaneous flow and faces of our society.

I do not photograph people in compromised moments nor awkward situations.

I make no money on my photography. It is not for sale. I expressly do NOT allow any third party to use any of my photographs which have people in them in any manner.

If you see your personal image in any photo which you disapprove of please text me through the Flickr email which is noted above and I will remove that photograph.

I want to thank all those wonderful people which I come in contact with brightening up my day and bringing joy to the Flickr community.

"In its moment a photograph should silently unfold inner realizations.

Not only what is seen, but how you feel when seeing it".

I enjoy seeing your wonderful photography. Not just a simple glance, but truly looking at them.

We don't just glance at Las Meninas, Nighthawks, or La Grenouillère.

We look and see the beauty of structure ,depth, nuances of hues and light.

I look upon your photos to see what is truly there and what you wanted to be there.

"Oh what a joy it is seeing a beautiful photo." ------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

People have asked me why I talk about my photos and their photos. Well first and foremost Flickr is an ‘interactive’ photography forum and none of us are destined for Magnum.

So let’s have fun and learn from one another. Let’s be constructive and help each other to create better relationships and photographs

I am also asked what I strive for in my photography. Primarily I want silence and elegance to be the forefront elements in my images.
