Hello

Thank you for visiting. I've been on here for 16 years now, but I've not added any new work for quite a while because I'd reached the maximum number of images, but now (April 2022) I've renewed my Pro account here so will by able to add and update things again.

All the photos you see in my photostream were taken by me, they are my copyright. Some photos are set at 'moderate' filter level, and a few at the 'restricted' level, so you'll have to set your flickr filter accordingly if you want to see these. There is no porn here.

Please be respectful in any comments on the models in the photos. I don't mind constructive criticism of my photography, but any disrespectful comments about the models will be deleted, and offenders will be blocked.

Thank you to everyone for your interest, support and kind comments. I like flickr because there are some inspirational photographers here and some very nice as well as creative people. So much to learn here.

If you are a model or aspiring model and like what you see here and would like to work together do get in touch, via flickr mail or Purpleport -

For those flickr groups that ask it - I'm way past 18 years of age..

I hope you enjoy the photos - all comments appreciated. I really try hard to comment on others' photos, especially contacts and friends, but there's never enough time to do as much as I'd like. So apologies if I'm not commenting enough at any time.

If you invite me to post photos to a group, I need to be able to see what kinds of photos are in that group - so I will not post to groups whose content isn't visible. I won't post photos to groups that have a lot of poor quality snaps that have no merit. Also I avoid groups that demand I comment on other photos if I post to that group - I comment on as many photos as I can but there isn't always enough time to meet those group requirements like post 1 comment 3. I also think 'awards' are a waste of time and space.

One more thing: this shouldn't be necessary, but I have to emphasise that all the photos in my stream were taken by me - they are my work, my copyright. This means that anyone stealing them and putting them on their flickr pages or any other website without my permission would be infringing the copyright, which is illegal, as well as very bad manners. I will take the necessary action against miscreants. If you want to use one of my photos someplace else - please ask.

If you have not yet discovered the work of the late Vivian Maier I strongly recommend visiting www.vivianmaier.blogspot.com/.

Vivian Maier 1926-2009.

If you love photography, and/or life, you won't be disappointed.
