Paul Dallgas-Frey
Drag to set position!
Welcome!
I am married to an amazing woman, the father of five wonderful adopted children (all grown... but not all out of the house just yet.... this economy is tough!), cancer survivor, sometime writer, occasional illustrator, and totally amateur photographer... but learning!
My early photos I used a 2 megapixel, four year-old Nikon Coolpix 2500. It was really nice at the time. Still is in many ways. But sadly lacking in many others.
...which explains why many of my photos have been messed around with quite a bit in Photoshop. Mostly it's my effort to recapture the scene my eye saw but the camera didn't, or at least an impression of it. That, and the illustrator in me not being able to keep his hands off things.
A couple of years ago my youngest son and I went halvsies on a new camera - a Kodak EasyShare 710. Occasionally it could take some pretty decent pictures - despite the one taking them.
But then it totally got a mind of it's own, and started snapping pictures randomly and I had to say enough is enough! So some time in early 2010 I bought a FujiFilm FinePix S1800. Funny, I think it cost about as much as my first 2 megapixel camera!
Then in early spring 2011 a wonderful, wonderful friend gave me her old Nikon D80. I really don't know much about using it... but I am learning!
Ha! I just happened to glance over at the "Singleness" options, and just catching it out of the corner of my eye, I thought the choices were...
Single
Taken
Open
Rather Easy!
You can see more samples of the "work" I do at BibleStoryGuy.com. If you are ever extremely bored. Maybe.

Read lessThe one thing I look forward to, when I log on to flickr.com, is Pauls photos in the >>Friends and Family section. I'm still not certain why I haven't seen a coffee table book at my local Barnes and Nobles.
Paul is an amazing and gifted photographer. He has the wonderful ability to breathe music and poetry into each picture, so that it becomes a living work of art. His sensitive use of scripture is a window into his soul and a testimony of his faith in a God who makes a difference. I appreciate Paul's vulnerability and hi… Read more
Paul is an amazing and gifted photographer. He has the wonderful ability to breathe music and poetry into each picture, so that it becomes a living work of art. His sensitive use of scripture is a window into his soul and a testimony of his faith in a God who makes a difference. I appreciate Paul's vulnerability and his strength of character in his life's challenges. Also, his delightful sense of humour filters through his photos and comments and often brightens my day. I consider him a dear flickr friend, and I wish him well. God bless you, Paul!! - Chris

Paul (Biblestoryguy) truly has a gift from above! His ability to not only see "things" that are easy to miss, but his use of light, color, exposure and composition are simply world-class. And his natural sense of humor and joyous style of writing really makes you feel "at home" with him and his work. It isn't often that you "run across" people who create top-notch work and make it look so easy and effortless. And, Paul is one of those rare talents that has found a way to share his creative voice through his images that touch your heart and soul - and he does it all effortlessly. What a gift!

Read less....he is totally inspiring... his story (biblestoryguy.com), his work of art touches someone who's soul longs for encouragement. He's truly a reflection of God's love... I haven't met him personally but thru his works I'm blessed...
Paul's photos are always a pleasure to view. Many of his shots have been a real inspiration to me. They are a great testimony to God's glory. It's been a real blessing having him as a contact. Keep up the great work!
I did a horrible horrible parody of Paul's work, so I owe him a testimonial. lol. Paul is just a great guy who also happens to also be a tremendous photographer. Once I became aware of his work, it seemed like everybody around me started hearing about it too. Paul is kinda like the Borg that way... resistance is … Read more
I did a horrible horrible parody of Paul's work, so I owe him a testimonial. lol. Paul is just a great guy who also happens to also be a tremendous photographer. Once I became aware of his work, it seemed like everybody around me started hearing about it too. Paul is kinda like the Borg that way... resistance is futile. You can't help but just be totally drawn into his pictures. "Artist" doesn't do this man justice. The fact that there are people running around this planet with $3000 digital SLR cameras who haven't got a clue how to use them while Paul takes these EXQUISITE pictures with a modest little Kodak ultra-zoom is the definition of the comedy of irony. If I could put a DSLR with a long lens in this man's hands, I would... and the world would thank me.
Read lessI really love Paul's work. He always sees nature in the best way..the way God intended..natural and beautiful! He captures it perfectly!! I always love when his work pops up in my stream.
Paul (BibleStoryGuy) has a gifted way of showcasing the beautiful things in this life that God has created. It is amazing that you can look around and see so much beauty amid so much sorrow and suffering in this place.

Paul (BibleStoryGuy) has a gifted way of showcasing the beautiful things in this life that God has created. It is amazing that you can look around and see so much beauty amid so much sorrow and suffering in this place. Paul has shown us many glimpses of that beauty, and specifically this week (Easter, 2007) that beauty mixed with a bit of that sorrow. The bible will tell you that God can be seen within His creations (just marvel at how everything works the way it does...makes it hard to believe its by chance as many are taught today)...and Paul has taken the time to showcase many of these creations so beautifully so that He can be seen within them.

Biblestoryguy (Paul) looks at the world through different eyes. I've found it a real experience to be able to look at things from a different perspective. Even with the limitations of a small digital camera... and not being able to see colours like most of us can (not seeing the reds and greens), his photographs are truly amazing. Normally, I love colour and brightness! But Paul's pics are soft and gentle... and soothing. He sees beauty in a unique way! It blesses me to look at his pictures... and to take the challenge to see things differently!! Also, Paul is incredibly modest and can underestimate the gifts that God has given him. Apart from his beautiful photos, he has a wonderful gift in drawing... and the characters he draws just crack me up!! They are SO fun and delightful!!! They'll really put a smile on your face. They are just the BEST!!! I love 'em!!!.... even more than the photos!!! What an AMAZING talent!!! GOOD ONE, Paul!!! Shine on brother!! Oh!! I forgot to mention!! He is also a very gifted writer! What he writes will make you smile.... he has a real way with words!! He always has the right words of encouragement to say, just at the right time!! A real geniune guy!!! Find out for youself!
