About the way i shoot...

I'm an impatient photographer... I rarely use a tripod... unless stated. Most of my shots are taken handheld. I dont do fuss... One day I shall think about improving my photography skills and take time out to take a 'good' pic.

I don't do the technical shoot thing, rule of thirds etc... I just don't get it, and will only shoot what I like and how I see it at the time. In other words, I don't plan my shoots, its what i see along the way. As I already said, I may get round to developing my skills one day... but for now.... shooting on the fly is my way and how I shall continue to shoot until my mood changes....

If you have any questions about my stream/images/me, please feel to drop me a line, id love to hear from you!

Now... the boring bit...

All images in my Flickr photo stream are copyrighted to me, that means that unless I state that you can use my image, it means that you cannot use them in any way whatsoever without written/emailed prior permission from me. I have had images stolen from me in the past and as flattering as you might think it to be... it isn't! Most of the time I would grant permission for any of my images to be used, you just need to ask. Please don't be a thief... I wouldn't steal your images... so please don't steal mine!

and...

now for even more boring stuff...

If somebody adds me as a contact and I check you out and I believe you to be a 'collector' of contacts, with no communication from you, whether it be a comment or an email, I will block you. I cant keep up with my 70+ contacts so I don't know how you could possibly cope with 2000+ contacts. Please don't take it personally, I'm trying to make life easier for you!

If you have the flickr default buddy icon with nothing available for me to see in your stream and fave any of my images or add me as a contact without any correspondence from you at all, then I shall also block you.

I know all that irritating blah blah stuff above makes some peeps eyes roll... but, Im here sharing my images for all to see, so i find it only fare that you have something to offer too... It works both ways... If you cant be bothered... then i cant either.
