Hello, welcome!
I love to take pictures of nature and pictures that show the passage of time: the seasons, the weathering of wood, rust, flowers and seeds. I like to go out in the rain and I love walking on the beach. Any beach. I am continually torn between the documentary and the artistic sides of photography. They are both worthwhile approaches, but on the whole I am trying to make my photos more poetic. The very best pictures (not those taken by me) are probably a combination of the two.
I purposefully keep my contact list at a manageable level. So if you add me as a contact, please don't be offended if I don't reciprocate. It is not a reflection of your work - I have set my account so I don't even know when this happens. Equally, if I add you as a contact, I have no expectations from you.
Thank you for visiting.

A note: if you represent a business, please don't ask me if you can use my photos for free. I'm not here to help you advertize your product. If you want to license a picture, or if you have a non-commercial/non-profit use in mind just send me a request via Flickrmail.
One more note: While I appreciate the sentiment, I generally decline invitations to Post 1 Comment x groups. I don't have the patience to do them justice. Thank you.

This is one testimonial I should have written some time ago, you see Jill has been a good friend of mine since my arrival on Flickr in 2007. Jill is one fantastic photographer, that is so evident when you look at here images. Jill's diversity in what she presents is what amazes me, always with a professional approach and with a sense of what the viewer will like but from a vantage point untold. Another thing about Jill that I appreciate so much is her ability to write. Her descriptions are always informative and appropriate and her sense of humor is above all a quality to behold, right up there with her exceptional use of the lens. So, do take the time to view Jill's work, I know it will put a smile on your face, it has mine more times than I can count...... Thank you Jill for being you and the friend you are!!
