My Flickr photostream is a mixture of all types of my photography, from my best attempts at artful images to family snapshots. Welcome to my world!
—————————————————————————————————————
The name pretty much says it all:
Mac = Macintosh computers
Smiley = putting my best face forward
—————————————————————————————————————
I'm female, previously but no longer married, so therefore,
I am now single and definitely NOT LOOKING, thank you.

Also, check out my tumblelog, a place where I sometimes post other member's interesting photos (and sometimes my own).
I am one of the administrators of the JW History group.
This page will load as many photos as you wish to see. It's called "infinite scrolling". Hold the scroll button on the bottom right or keep your finger on the End button on your keyboard.
My so-called most interesting shots as decided by Flickr's math skills.
Several of my shots have popped in and out of Flickr's Explore pages, the top 500 photos qualified by "interestingness", making the 1st or 2nd page on any day except the day they were uploaded...so far. More of Flickr's math is involved here, so Explore pages as defined by Flickr's interestingness algorithm means absolutely nothing. (Yeah, right!).
Flickr numerical definition for "Interestingness" and "most interesting" have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Why? Aucune idée.!I haven't got a clue!
My equipment
Analogue equipment, mostly in dire need of maintenance, but my photos from almost 30 years ago attest to "Canon's know-how", as they say:
Canon AE-1
Canon 50mm 1.8 lens
Canon Speedlite 199A
Vivitar 75-205 Zoom lens
plus assorted filters.. the polarizer being my favorite
Digital:
iPhone 5
Canon PowerShot S3 IS
Canon PowerShot SD700 IS
Sanyo PM-8200 cellphone (retired)
Palm Centro (retired )
Accessories:
Bogen-Manfrotto tripod
ProMaster camera bag
to be continued...
If you absolutely, positively must know more about me, that is, how I got interested in all this photography stuff, my artfully written biography is on my Utata.org member page. I have been working on my unofficial full auto-biography for 1 1/2 years now, and there's no end in sight.

She can help you keep your spiritual priorities straight. In her photos you will find lots of family warmth and friendliness from all the wonderful people in her life.
