I'm a retired teacher living in Salem, OR with my wife of 46 years. Since retirement, I've focused more and more on photography. One of the things that I've enjoyed about Flickr is seeing the incredible diversity of talented photographers.
Getting to know people from a variety of places in the world is another thing that I've enjoyed about Flickr. As my contact list grows, I'm met some wonderful people who continue to dazzle me with their new creations and ideas. I try to be as honest and supportive as I can when I comment on others' work, and appreciate the feedback that I get as well. If you wish to add me as a contact, please be willing to have this kind of relationship.
I post sporadically these days but I do check in from time to time.

John is a well round photographer. He takes pictures of... pretty much everything! Going through his travel photos is like experiencing the trip yourself. I also would like to point out his generosity at commenting. He always puts up constructive positive comments that aren’t just like “great photo”, “excellent”, and “have a good day”. You can tell that he looks at the photos closely, takes the time to appreciate them, and writes down his thoughts in beautiful words. Thanks John. Keep up the work, I will, too! Cynthia
