This is my third year with a digital camera. I love my Canon, 40D with an assortment of lenses.

I am surrounded by wonderful photographers and I'm motivated to spend this year learning all that I can about photos and Photoshop.

I am retired from the field of Special Education with Los Angeles Unified School District, and teach part time at CSUN.

I have a passion for photography using light, color, birds and flowers.

I am looking forward to learning from some amazing photographers on Flickr.

Many of her shots memorizing the details of our times help me realize how much we should treasure our own lives… Read more

Barbara is very painstaking about the way her photos are composed and framed. She pays close attention to lighting and how the final image will look.

Barbara is very painstaking about the way her photos are composed and framed. She pays close attention to lighting and how the final image will look. Her photos are beautiful and they are not accidents. I like that a lot. She seems to have a great deal of luck in finding excellent subjects, for which I am jealous, so she's inspiring me to get out and look for subjects. I very much enjoy her photos of the Venice, CA area, where I spent quite a lot of my first 18 years. I'm always waiting to see what cool shot she'll post next.

Well I mean that Matisse was in true and when I search for a perfect flower on Flickr I click always on Barbara's sets. I think that Barbara has a super-natural talent in this matter, her shots are something of sublime, rich of colours and poetry. Please Barbara let's continue to make us to dream Riccardo
