Well until I stumbled on Flickr one day I used to think I was OK at photography, despite being a cheapskate and not forking out for a top of the line camera.

But what can I say, many of the photos on here that you folks take are things of sheer beauty and creative genius. I feel humbled.

So instead of being jealous I am learning techniques and ideas from the awesome photos I see on this website.

I try not to alter my photos. Where I have it will be blatantly obvious!! (Trust me!)

Thanks for the inspiration; "it's not confidential, I've got potential".

Si a todo and "Live Forever"

You guys rock, keep up the stunning photography!

And if I copy your idea, take that as the greatest compliment rather than cheap thievery on my behalf!!!

(And NO, that is not really me in the avatar and it was a photo I took @ San Diego Zoo in California.)
