Passions. I enjoy most outdoor activities and travel to experience cultures different than my own. With camera at the ready, recording my view of the world has become a passion.

Photography. I probably spend far too much time on this subject, but I do enjoy it. My photos are grouped into Albums and the Albums into Collections. Enter www.flickr.com/photos/koons/collections to view my collections, an index to all my photos.

My flickr uploads. Generally after a vacation on some place on the planet, I try to first upload onto flickr those recent images. I try to keep those uploads no more than 5/day. Therefore, it often takes a long time to complete uploads for one country. I usually have a sizable backlog of images to upload.

Groups. Not all my past uploads have been "group" assigned, and some even lack map placement. Slowly, I attempt to rectify that. I find joining a group offers more exposure to one's flickr uploads, and greater exposure often leads to more comments on my photos. I thank everyone who has made comment, it's an ego boost and nice to know that one of my photos was fancied by someone else. I generally don't join groups that require comments on others' photos.

I hope you enjoy my world tour through photographic art.

Should you have interest in a particular image, don't hesitate to inquire.

Thank you for visiting!
