This machine kills facists aesthetics.

 

I make pictures of things I see.

I try to make beautiful pictures, or at least structured ones that have some down home charm if not actual aesthetic merit.

  

Flickr thinks these are my most interesting photos. What do you think?

 

I love getting comments. Please let me know if my work interests, touches, you, moves you, makes you go "meh..." or just plain sux.

 

You can make me very happy by just wiggling your fingers*, so go on - make a man happy, wiggle your fingers and let me know what you think. It's free and it fills your karma bank with karma gold.

I also have a loyalty program.

If you look at my work and comment I'll usually look at yours and probably comment too.

 

* fingers must be wiggled over keyboard in comment field for happiness to ensue.

 

If nothing else, my stream is a humourous look at the progression of a budding "photographer" from "really abysmal" to "working his way up to quite contemptable".

Please don't fave my images, unless you really, really like them.

You don't need to fave my image just because I faved yours - I faved your because I really, really liked it. I won't fave yours just because you faved mine. I'll only fave it if I really like it.

I welcome considered, reasoned critique on any and all of my images, especially when accompanied with advice or suggestions for improvement.

I reserve the right to ignore your critique or advice, but will be grateful if you make the effort.

Most of my images have a serial number in the description. Please quote this number with your critique or comments if you choose to offer critique or comment outside of the images comments or contact me about an image or images for any other reason.

A note about names.

I did use Clive Pringle as a handle for a while, but it got confusing at times in some situations. My name is my name, so hopefully that is less confusing.
