I'm more of a photo aficionado than a photographer. While working to emerge from a lengthly bout of profound depression it's been difficult to keep in touch with friends by writing or calling. Luckily I discovered I can let them know I'm thinking of them by periodically forwarding some of the beautiful photos I've found on Flickr. It's my way of saying, "Hey, I'm still alive, still thinking of you, and here's something beautiful to enliven your day." A real bonus for me is the emotional boost I get in exploring your photos. Thank you!
