Hello all...well i am not really good at blowing my own trumpet as they say...but here goes..............i am very much amatuer...when it comes to photography... i have, however, been taking photos since i was 15.. starting with our dogs.. and since i am estranged from my family i do not have one of those special photos today...as most of my things were never returned to me....so now i am not defeated.. and i just take photos of what appeals to me...i do want some time to be able to take some photography course..and learn more... hopefully i can achieve that, but for now....i simply record what i see as best i can...and you may see me evolve through photos....this is natural...and it is how i want my flikr site to go...as for everyone growth is important...i want to say thanks to those who give me understanding here...and for those who do not want to know me...you really dont know...what a friend you could have... oh, i thought i better add that i am gay....so those of you who cant accept me as i am...please dont get intouch....PAUL.
