Hello fellow photographers!

Even though the PRO label is on my account, I don't consider myself a true professional. Specifically, I do not make a living at photography. Of course, who wouldn't want to make a living at photography! And my fellow photographers may notice that I have been a member of Flickr since 2006. And let's face it, there's been a lot of changes in the world of photography since then! And of course, the changes in our personal lives as well as the changes in our world politics have a great impact on everyone, including photographers. We capture as much as we can as we see it evolving around us. We may not all be professional photojournalists, but we are an army of photographers! I have always been obsessed with photography. I think I have a fear of losing the past. Maybe that's why I took so many pictures? Or maybe it was just a fun thing to do!

And regarding my ownership of my photos I would like to request that anyone who wants to use my photos in any publication or in any media type to please keep my name with the photo. And if the photo is being considered for a commercial application where the user intends to use my photo for their profit, I request that I first be contacted.
