Thanks for dropping by. My interest in photography started as a child helping my dad in our makeshift darkroom. After several dormant years, I found myself browsing flickr and becoming captivated more and more. My interest was rekindled. So here I am experimenting in this wonderful world.

Bean's photography is so varied and interesting ... he seeks out the new - you know that he looks and looks again - so that you won't see a cliché'd shot amongst his growing portfolio. And now he's turning back time to film photography ... I'm really interested to see what develops in this adventure! (terrible pun,… Read more

Bean's photography is so varied and interesting ... he seeks out the new - you know that he looks and looks again - so that you won't see a cliché'd shot amongst his growing portfolio. And now he's turning back time to film photography ... I'm really interested to see what develops in this adventure! (terrible pun, sorry, sorry!). Nigel's also a great Flickr contact ... with thoughtful and considered comments. Nice to meet you here!

I am so lucky to have Nigel as my husband but putting that aside, I think he is a very talented photographer. I love how he sees the world and how he snaps photos that are so unique to his personality and style. It is a definitely different style and many people are drawn to it, including me. I am learning from him so much here in the photography world and he is very encouraging to me and to his contacts. He is just a wonderful Flickrite and a pretty damn good husband. Just recently, I snapped a photo and said to myself, "That's a Bean shot" and guess what? Even Bean said it was! YES!

Nigel aka Bean* is a very creative and original photographer – his pictures are so unique! I love his unusual choice of angles, his pleasant out of focus compositions and his choices of subjects. His pictures-from-above and his square crops are especially noteworthy. Nigel is very versatile, he also takes great landscape, portraits and flower shots. His pictures in nature are as cool as his street and architecture captures. I admire the fact that Nigel is not afraid to try new approaches to photography – love his “experiments”! He is an inspired artist, a very kind and classy guy. I’m glad I met him on Flickr. Thank you for being such a wonderful contact, Nigel ~ and for sharing your awesome pictures with us!

Bean has been a contact of mine for a while now and not only is he generous when looking at other peoples photostreams, he is also growing so quickly as a photographer himself. I love visiting his photostream to watch his progression.

Nigel has been a great friend for over 10 years. I noticed about a year ago that he always had his camera whenever I'd see him. He was always creeping around looking for cool shadows and interesting things. Nigel showed me some of his shots on Flickr and soon after, I got the photography bug. Now we go out shooting together and it's great fun. Nigel does some amazing things on his point and shoot and I'm looking forward to seeing he can do with the cool lenses he just inherited.
