May 2015

It may seem like a lot of random pics are showing up in my profile - I've been using the Flickr uploadr to backup over 34,000 images. I have been making a few public as they catch my eye.

I don't like blocking folks, but I don't really care to be followed by folks with nothing to share or pictures of your penis! Disrespectful or lewd comments will get you blocked too.

If I am following you I admire your work. I try to determine if the work is original or stolen and I will not intentionally follow or like work that has been appropriated

All images shown in my photo stream are my original images, with the exception of an occasional screen capture which are completely obvious! Do not use or link to my work without my expressed permission!

I am an advanced hobbyist photographer. I've been shooting seriously since the late 70's, so yes I am well over 18.

I love to travel - been spending time on road trips lately to see America, so far I've hit 46 of the of states. Whenever possible, I schedule shoots that correspond with my travels.

To me Photoshop is for adjustments to a photo, it is not to create the image. If you want to do that, you want an artist, not a photographer. I don't mind altering colors some or doing some minor touch up, some noise reduction. I think photography is an art which combines the skill and imagination of the photographer and subject (or model.) I like the finished product to resemble what was going on in the view finder.

I don't have a studio, since I've concentrated on nature's beauty for years, just moving into a different realm of nature's beauty.

If you are interest in shooting, let me know.

Please don't copy my work!
