i believe my photos are simple and honest. minimal enhancements or modifications are utilized. while i may be technologically ahead of the curve within my profession, once outside the office i need help programming my cell phone. my third grade teacher was correct, "ira is a bright boy, but he can't follow directions." the more things change, the more...

 

as of may, 2008, i have begun using a canon powershot S5 IS. it no longer fits in my pocket, but it does enable me to spread my wings a bit. i briefly considered/deliberated the purchase of a dslr, but my life is complicated enough already. and i am simply not yet ready to devote more time, energy and braincells to what to this point has been an enjoyable hobby

 

addendum, for those who are on a need to know basis ... a new "advanced point and shoot", may, 2017

addendum #2, retired from my profession as a doctor of optometry, january, 2020. now an "official volunteer" photographer at the j c raulston arboretum, ncsu, raleigh, north carolina!!

i now also serve, as of january, 2024, as a volunteer photographer at the sarah p duke gardens, duke university, durham, north carolina

 

i do make what i believe is a more than reasonable effort to visit the photostreams of those whose work i admire and comments i appreciate. to that end, i periodically add to and delete from my lists of contacts, as well as keep the number of groups to which i belong to a manageable number. if you like my modest contribution to the flickr community, simply comment on occasion and i promise to return the favor. thanks for stopping by. ira

 

as of april 2020, I have surpassed 1,400 images with 50+ faves...thanks friends :-)

Que de superbes images! Bravo...

The photos are universally brilliant. Then I started to read the captions. They must have taken some time. So Ira can read as well as he can see. And both are a great joy.

A brief skimming (for now) over your portfolio has allowed me to agree with Mari jo Perier's words. I think that what transpires most through your work is the passion involved in each shot and the example that these photos set.

"Ira is an amazing talented photographer as you can see his work speaks for itself. His photos are perfectly composed with an eye for mastering excellent detail, as well as wonderful use of light and colors. His photos are wonderful, brilliant, and spectacular, drawing the viewer into the picture frame leaving them with such a wonderful captivating feeling. He truly loves nature and has the ability to capture it in it's finest. Ira's trademark is in his exceptionally superb titles. Spectacular and unique, naming just a few, from suggestive, poetic, passionate, to the fun filled dry sense of humor that we all love about Ira. He is a fine perfectionist and an inspirational photographer to me and to those who know him. His photostream is versatile, ranging from gorgeous flower shots, to beautiful butterflies, spectacular landscape scenery, and I even found some beautiful artsy photography while browsing his photostream. A hidden secret maybe? ; ) He is a kindhearted and sincere friend with a wonderful sense of humor. I always look forward to his wonderful, witty, and upbeat comments. I sure do enjoy my Ira fix as he always brightens up my day with laughter. Ira is an incredible asset to the flickr community, his contacts, friends, and future friends. If you haven't checked out this amazing talented photographers photostream I strongly suggest you stop what you're doing, grab yourself a little something to eat and drink and take the Hottie Ira tour. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Ira, I'm proud to call you my friend. :-) ~The friends we meet on the path of life make the trip worth while~ Hugs and Stuff, Keep on rocking it B-Boy Style! Skyler~"

I love his suggestive titles~ His photo's show ingenuity, balance and a great sense of composition. Each one is unique in its own way and each is truly amazing! Ira takes time to look at your photo and leaves a comment that only he can leave; fun, suggestive, tantilizing. I look forward to reading Ira's verbal flowers, as he picks up on my titles meanings and runs with it. "An artist can transform the world in poetry, simply with his delicate eye and his creative soul.""

Viewing Ira's photos is a little like taking a vacation. He brings the best of his experience back to share with us. He frequently gives me little hints, that enhance my own photography. This is the joy of flickr, that one can share the beauty of life with others. Thanks, Ira

Ira's pics are full of life. His images are always eye candy especially his flowers!! A kind and gentle soul that shows through in the photo stream! Thanks for being a part of the Flickr Family~

Ira's pics are always a pleasure to view. His macro photography of various flowers, plants and natural still life "virtually" make my day all the time! Take your time and see what I mean.

Ituckers work-well simply put, beautiful. Since my photogrpahy is a world of chaos, I find coming here like a walk through a Buddhist Temple. I leave always wanting more!!! But I know it was well worth the trip. X

Sometimes I write testimonials because someone is a great photographer and other times I write them because, someone is very kind. Itucker just happens to be both.

He is thoughtful and generous with his comments. I have enjoyed crossing paths with him and you will too.
