Love digital photography especially dog and nature shots. I also enjoy playing around with Photoshop. I got started about 15 years ago when I won a digital camera on an online auction. I think it was 1.5 mega pixels. I have never worked with film; but I am addicted to digital. I am amazed at the talent on Flickr. I hope someday to be considered a good photographer.
Thanks for dropping by!

My apologies M.H. for waiting this long to write a testimonial for you. I have decided with the New Year of 2014 I would put my thoughts down on what a wonderful friend and contact you have been to me over our many years here on Flickr. You are such a creative photographer with a willingness to be an explorer in the deep depths of photoshop where I have yet to venture. The skills, techniques, vision, expression, creative eye for the fun and unusual are always such a special treat when I come to your photostream. Yet my dear friend you take very serious images too that are always extremely beautiful to view and hold my interest with fascination. The range of subject matter is always diverse from birds, flowers, landscapes, your own pets, dragonflies you name it the spectrum of discovery is vast on your stream. I have especially enjoyed the numerous images from your trip to Alaska and the extreme beauty you were so lucky to view and present here on Flickr in such an amazing fashion. I admire your talents so much! It is rare that a person can feel free to experiment in a medium so complex as this world of digital photography. M.H. you take creativity a step beyond amazing with all the wonderful images you develop in your studio of the imagination. I am impressed by your abilities to take something very ordinary and make it more than extraordinary! One thing about visiting your photostream it is always an extreme pleasure because of the surprise that is awaiting everyone that comes by to witness an original M.H. creation. Before ending I would be like to say what a marvelous adventure you have taken me on when it comes to the series of images revolving around the "flying super squirrel" ! To me that is where the excitement can always be found in the photographs you so lovingly create. Thank you my dear friend for always bringing a SMILE to my face and for sharing your wonderful vision and friendly personality here in this place where we share much more than our love for photography. But an honest and truly great friendship!!!
Read lessI'm always in for a visual treat when I visit this photostream! The images and creations of M.H.ick9s are always so rich and wonderful. I've enjoyed all the nature shots, all the lovely Tessa portraits and have been inspired by his photoshop creations. I look forward to all his creative images to come! Thanks!
This is one photostream I visit often, scribbling notes down on how the effects were reached in post production... Some truly fantastic pieces of art, and a photostream well worth making a regular visit too!
