I have been taking photo's for ages and ages.
Through the years I have come to feel that the camera is an appendage!.
I have requested to be buried with my camera(s). :-)
It has been and still is a magnificent obsession.

Here are some quotes and ideas that reflect some of my feelings about photography
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m not a premeditative photographer. I see a picture and I make it. If I had a chance, I’d be out shooting all the time. You don’t have to go looking for pictures. The material is generous. You go out and the pictures are staring at you."
~ Lee Friedlander
I will photograph; Anything excites me for any reason, not searching for unusual subject matter,
but making the commonplace unusual.
~Edward Weston

"Photography has not changed since its origin except in its technical aspects, which for me are not important." -Henri Cartier-Bresson

"Behind the camera, I was invisible.
When I lifted it up to my eye it was like I crawled into the lens,
losing myself there and everything else fell away."
— Sarah Dessen (Dreamland)

When I was relatively new to the world of DSLR and flickr, there were few people I met on flickr, who guided me and are still helping me in a right direction, in terms of corrections and encouragements. Out of these lovely photographers, Marilyn has the biggest share. Her enormous work is fabulous and always brings a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing such amazing work Marilyn. You are a magician behind that lens. Anyways, if any of you wants to photograph yourself in the afterlife, up above in heaven, I know whom you can contact. (read marilyn's profile) :)
