My hobbies are my garden vegetables and flowers. I also love photography, reading, and making slideshows and making video's. I started in Photography with a digital camera years ago. I was helping out with our church newsletter etc. It evolved from there. I learn a lot from flickr.....the people are great....I love the process of constantly improving your craft. Flickr is like being in a club, without having to leave your home

Ami has really amazed me about her high number of pix on flickr, first i thought she might be the owner or partner of this engine/site ;) but her passion for photography shows that she has a life in it for her. As u pass through her photostream (which is not stream at all, it is Amazon now ) u will find plenty of breathtaking frames. Her sets "seasons of the sun" and "professional photography" are matchless. Enjoy every frame and put as many favs and comments as u can .... nBazmi

I have not known Ami long but she has become a good flickr friend; ever supportive, kind and encouraging. I enjoy viewing Ami's stream daily. She has a creative photogenic eye for detail, nature, color and FUN. It is a pleasure to count Ami as a flickr friend.
