After years of not having enough time to chase my passion of photography due to my regular line of work, I have finally reached the point where I make time and have spent the past couple years catching up. My hope in posting some of my photos to Flickr is that you and others enjoy the work I have captured through my trusty Nikon's as seen through my eyes. Although many of my friends wonder what I'm sometimes looking at and more often what the heck I have actually taken a picture of, I am simply trying to find different ways to capture things on digital film that many folks never notice or take for granted in our everyday routines.

Please feel free to comment and provide constructive advice to help me to be a better photographer. Feel free to like, check as favorite, comment, add to groups or flickr-galleries, and view, but please respect the copyright (2013-2025) on the photos I have posted.

All photos that I have posted are copyright protected. If you need to use them for anything other than checking as favorite, commenting, or adding to flickr groups/galleries, please contact me for permission first through my yahoo.com e-mail address through flickrmail.

For those dishonest folks that choose to steal the images I have produced and posted on this flickr stream, please know that theft will not be tolerated and ignorant excuses for not knowing they are Copyrighted are unacceptable as you have been dully notified not only within my flickr stream and in this post, but also the Copyright meta-tag data embedded within each photograph.

For honest folks in the world who have morals and don't take or steal from others, I hope you enjoy the photos I have posted. :-)

P.S. Thanks to all the folks on Flickr for the 8.4 Million+ views along with your many comments since May 2013. THANK YOU!
