17 years and I am still enjoying photography from my first introduction to the camera's world and to flickr.
I have met many friends here and have had a great time learning and seeing lives transformed by this community.
I am learning not to be a slave to wanting technical perfection. Just happy to enjoy, and while I still want to learn, some of my photos have been memorable, not because they are technically great pictures, but it is what I have been able to do with some of them that counts.
So come and have a wander here. You will find countryside, sky, flowers, my dog and all sorts of places and things to glance over.
Above all, you will find in these pictures my character, what I care about and what I hold dear.
Come and be a friend. You will be warmly welcomed.
One of my pictures has been published in www.schmap.com/guides/oxford September edition, 2007.
A new addition to www.Nowpublic.com is one of my Christmas photos taken at a church christmas festival.
For 2009, my Zero Tolerance for Women was in the spring edition of the Source magazine from the Women's Resource centre.
My summer photo of HMS Victory, Portsmouth was used by a Canadian TV company as part of an educational programme for children.
Dec 2013. My Monastry of Pedrables image taken in the summer of August 2012 in Barcelona has now been used to illustrate the effects on light over time on Vermillion red paint. The article from Scientific American can be found here:

So flickr gets your pictures noticed, even as a humble amateur photographer, such as I am. This is what the world of flickr can do for your work, as well as bring huge enjoyment to such a hobby, as this is for me.

What better way of celebrating Helen's Birthday ~ than to write the long-overdue testimonial she deserves ! Helen introduced ME to Flickr.com, three years ago . . . and our membership of this amazing community has proved to be a life-changing experience. Helen asked countless questions in her eagerness to improve, as a novice photographer . . . and she has made such strides in the last two years, that her work has now been published in various media. She welcomed one of my Flickr-friends into her home ~ Leslie-Hu from Taiwan, on her first holiday with me in the U.K. and has become one of my closest local friends in Norfolk. I am now planning to retire to the Philippines next year, to spend my final years with a wonderful community of people ~ who were completely un-known to me, until Helen had introduced me to the joys of Flickr.com. Flickr.com is one of the finest organisations in the World, for sharing Love and Peace among its many nations . . . and Helen has entered into the spirit of everything it stands for. Thank you, Helen, for changing MY life, and many others !!
