After many months of taking hardly any photos I think I am ready to bring out the camera again. In weeks to come there should be a few new posts in my photostream.

All my photos are fully protected by United States and International Copyright law, so please do not use them for websites, blogs, or any other kind of publication without my express written permission.

Also, if your photos do not show the camera information (model, speed, F-stop, etc. I will not be spending much time looking at your images and will not be making them favorites. It's a waste of my time to slog through AI, SL or any other computer-generated images when my interests are in real photos, taken by real cameras (including Smart phones). To check your settings, click on the notification bell in the upper right-hand corner, then on Settings. Then choose Privacy & Permissions. Be sure to Select "No" for the Hide Your EXIF data. There are many other settings you may want to customize as well.

Flickr photographers can be inspirational, and viewing the best photos can definitely brighten up one's day. Keep up the good work.
