Ancient Kildare amateur who keeps on trying to improve.

I have been on Flickr since late 2007 and have got a lot of enjoyment from being able to see some great pictures from people all over the world. I want to say sincere thanks to everyone who commented (good or bad)on my pictures and especially to those who gave me advice and help.

I dont have very many contacts, mainly because I like to comment on their photos and would not be able to keep up with a large number.

Photography has opened up a whole new world for me since I retired and I have been lucky in 2009 to achieve the LIPF Distinction from the Irish Photographic Federation and in 2013 the AFIAP from The International Federation of Photographic Art.

Since 2016 I don't manage to get out quite so often so have to find more local stuff.
