Hello!

My name is Ian Abbott, and I live in Santa Clara, California. Thank you all for more than 12,000,000 views!

My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic 44. I currently use a variety of digital and film cameras, modern and vintage.

I appreciate every view, "fave" and comment, and I try to reply to all constructive comments.

I'm sincerely grateful to everyone who follows my photography on Flickr. If I don't follow you in return, please don't take it personally.

Most of my photographs are posted with the Creative Commons "Attribution / NonCommercial / ShareAlike" license.

UPDATE, July 2025: I am working on updating most of my photos to the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY 4.0) license.

Here's what that means:

creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/

If you're interested in using any of my photos for a commercial purpose, publication, web site, or any other project, please ask! You can contact me by FlickrMail or using the email address at the bottom of this page. I've received a fair number of requests for commercial use, and, so far, I've never said "no" to anyone.

Thanks for looking!
