I make musical instruments (well - banjos...) for a living. I love my dog pack - 5 - now down to one :( and a new puppy, motorcycles, reading good writers, and, lately, photography. I'm a dog person who also likes cats on an individual basis.

As I have made more friends on Flickr I begin to find the need to limit both the number of groups I belong to and the number of contacts because I like to stay current with everyone. Please don't be offended if you make me a contact and I don't reciprocate. I do try to visit everyone's stream who comments on mine. Likewise, I totally understand if I make someone a contact in order to keep up with their photos and they don't reciprocate.....so little time - so many great photos..
