Welcome to 2026...

Not really a King in Narnia...a retired photographer (but not retired in general) - dabbling again with photography - trying to reconnect with Flickr after being away for a bunch of years. The place feels a bit like an empty shopping mall, I guess lots of people folded up their tents and left. I will give it the year (of my pro membership) to see if any of that old magic can be found here.

**Note: I block members who follow but who have no genuine photographs in their photo stream**

I also typically follow back, and I usually don't remain following those who do not follow back.

FLICKR GROUPS THAT I CREATED AND ADMINISTER:

I administer Two Groups:

Main Group, I am the Admin for the Group CHILDHOOD: A Pictorial Archive. Ask to join and post your photos there. This group is a secure invite only group, with a well moderated pool of photographs.

Second Group, is more somber called "Life in the Time of the Fall..(Decline of the West)." - This group focuses on decline, decay, abandoned places, businesses, objects. The glass is not half full in this 2nd group :). This aligns with a 2026 photo project I plan.

"It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors". ~ Oscar Wilde

“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” ~ Ansel Adams
