After 6 years and more on Flickr, it is still the first place I check every day and often the last place I leave every night!
I have been a photography buff (low key) for many years, with binders full of slides to show for it (and an ancient projector that barely works). I have scanned some of my pics into digital, and now I have an incentive to scan even more!
I lived in the San Fernando Valley region of LA for many years (1999-2012), though I was born and grew up in Northern California. I now live in Desert Hot Springs, near Palm Springs, out in the California desert. I sort of like it, though I love and appreciate my friends whom I live with.
I am a costume designer by profession, so of course visual appeal is very important to me. One of these days I will assemble a full set of costumes I have designed.
I love to wander onto other people’s pages and to see the variety of pics they present, as well as pictures of themselves. I am inspired by them to make my area just as interesting to others.
I look forward to trading pics with many of you on Flickr and making friends in the process for years to come.
Oh, and I am WAY past the age of 18...

The great thing about Diogioscuro's photos is that he turns his camera on everything and everyone around him; his family, friends, the places where he lives and works, and photographs all of it with great warmth and technical skill. His work is engaged, warm-hearted, often beautiful to look at, and also funny and even sexy. Sometimes all at once . . .
