UPDATE JULY 2023

 

Flickr have accepted my request to have my account reviewed and it is now classified as Safe. I can upload new photos as long as they are Safe and they can be Public rather than 'Friends Only'. What I am not sure about is how the existing photos will be dealt with. I've tried reclassifying them as Safe but whilst the option to make them Safe comes up, it won't allow any change in the safety level, despite telling me my Default is Safe. So I've contacted Flickr again to see what can be done about the existing photos. At worst I would have to delete them and then repost them, which I'm not happy with, having spent a lot of time reducing them to a set that meets Flickr's guidelines for Safe Photos.

 

My Pro Account at www.flickr.com/photos/189368610@N06/, is still up and running and will remain so.

 

UPDATE JANUARY 2022

 

This account is going into semi-retirement

 

Very reluctantly I'm migrating from this account and will gradually phase it out as I move most of the photos to my other account.

 

As many of you will already know Flickr imposes some harsh constraints, I can only post to friends, cannot post video Meeting new people is more by luck and friends of friends and the loss of video is unbearable.

 

I am gradually transferring the friends that I follow to my other account and that will take some time, so if you have not received an invitation from

 

www.flickr.com/photos/189368610@N06/

 

it will come though you are of course very welcome to just add me as a friend there (to see all the photos and videos)

 

Thanks to everyone who has followed me over the last 14 years and I very much hope that if you are still on Flickr that relationship will continue.

When I have finished transferring m photos, later in the year I will end the PRO status and leave around 1000 photos to remind me of what once was.

  

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2021

 

I'm a widow, just past my 74th birthday and going reasonably well, though age related issues are increasing somewhat.

I'm changing my Flickr approach a little from now on. Flickr treats my account as unsafe, and I can only upload photos for 'Friends' or 'Family' and I'm not allowed to upload video (I have a second account for that and I'm keeping closely to Flickr rules on it)

 

Over the last year I've noticed that I'm getting people who are only interested in favouriting my photos and downloading them and make little or no comment - especially people who don't have any photos of their own to exchange. I have 55 pages of photos, but only 1 and a half pages are publicly viewable. So from now on I'm not making anyone who follows me but has no photos a friend and will most likely block them.

 

If you have photos that are for Friends or Family I expect you to share those just as I will share all mine - that means that simply 'following' me is not enough, you need to make me a friend to see the large bulk of my photos. If you want to chat about that via Flickr mail I'm quite happy to do that.

 

UPDATE JULY 2020

 

It's now over a year since I became a widow. I'd like to thank my Flickr friends for the support and encouragement I've had from them and it has kept me going with my Flickr account. I am starting to make changes to my Flickr presence. My account is classed as unsafe and I want to restore it to being safe or moderate with perhaps a few restricted photos only available to Friends and Family. The first stage in this process has begun with me establishing a parallel account for my videos, and this account is currently rated safe. There may be some photo uploads but these so far are for special purposes such as deciding on a profile picture (I cannot change the picture for this account much as I would like to because Flickr treats all my photos as being Restricted,

 

The second thing I've started on is to remove from this account all the old photos which are not mine and many of which are rightfully restricted. There's a lot of them and I think it's going to take quite some time. At the end of that process, I should have an account which only has my photos and their classification conforms with Flickr guidelines. That will allow me to ask for a review.

 

It won't change the look and feel of my photos (except for new clothes from time to time and Friends should not notice any change.

 

UPDATE JULY 2019

 

Now 71 and coming to terms with being a widow, but can now post with more freedom and give Davina her chance to flourish at last. Still happily into Rubber, leather bondage and submission and chastity. Beginning to add some more feminine photos with dresses and skirts that are more mainstream, but still with a B&D twist.

 

UPDATE JUNE 2015

 

Approaching 68 and my account is now classified as 'unsafe' so don't be too surprised if I vanish overnight. Family health issues make it rather difficult to continue to take my own photos. I take the opportunities when they come but they come less frequently.

 

I'm trying to make up by posting photos from my collection, all from other sources. Thanks to all those who have commented on my photos. Those comments keep me going.

  

UPDATE APRIL 2012

 

i've filled my 200 photos allocation so I'm selectively removing the less popular ones or the few that are not of me.

 

I will try and avoid deleting photos marked as favourites, but if I accidentally do, please contact me and I'll send you a copy. Still no change in my domestic circumstances so meets are all but impossible.

  

UPDATE MARCH 2011

 

I've just had a 13 year old add me as a contact, so I've changed ALL my photos to restricted, no matter how innocuous they are. You MUST be over 18 to view. Anyone under age trying to add me as a contact will be blocked

 

I'm 63 years old and live in the North of England. I've been into rubber and bondage virtually all my life. I've always had a 'thing' for cross dressing and expressing my female side but have only recently got pics of me.

 

I have a few pics which I am gradually uploading. I'd welcome comments and suggestions, as I go.

 

Feel free to add me as a contact. I don't expect anything in return, so no need to have photos to share or no profile pic. All I ask is that you respect my kinks as I respect those of others.

 

If you download my photos please remember that the copyright is mine. If you want to post Tthem elsewhere you have my permission ONLY PROVIDING THAT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT COPYRIGHT AND ME AS THE SOURCE.

  

IN ORDER TO SEE ALL MY PHOTOS YOU WILL NEED TO ADD ME AS FRIEND OR FAMILY.

 

UPDATE JANUARY 2011

 

Well I'm now 63, though feel 30 year younger and I've nearly filled my free Flickr allowance. So unless a kind soul is prepared to buy me a pro account I'll have to either delete some of my photos or they will disappear into Flickr bondage. Most of my photos are restricted to friends, not so much because they are explicit (they are not) but because I was deleted first time round and want to keep this incarnation going.

 

Like many TVs circumstances make it difficult to indulge in my interests at home. My wife has always been aware of my interests in rubber, leather and bondage but has no interest herself so my photo shoots are done in those rare moments of privacy (we're both retired now).

 

However I live in hope that I can eventually meet other TVs or those interested in bondage, latex and leather.I am interested in chatting on Yahoo or similar so drop me a line if you want to pursue that. I don't mind

 

Finally I love comments on my photos (like all Flickr members). If you add me as contact or friend and you have not photos to share, then please leave some comments as your way of sharing.
