About CC Licenses - I haven't been very consistent about these. If you see a photo you want to use that has "all rights reserved" then please ask before using - chances are good I will change the license for you.
About me - I'm not particularly fond of describing myself in a textbox. Suffice it to say I love photography, music, reading and I have engineering background, not artistic.
NOTE:
I do not think in terms of 'photostreams.' I'm old fashioned, I guess, but, I don't intend for people to randomly go through all my pictures and have them make sense. That's why I have tons of photosets organized. Other pictures I upload will typically be for a specific 'group.' So if it seems like I upload a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense together, just be aware of that, I guess.

I'd been meaning to write this for some time now and when I realized I never did, I kicked myself. Max does brilliant work. I could end with that because it pretty much sums up my thoughts on his photography, but I'll say more.

I'd been meaning to write this for some time now and when I realized I never did, I kicked myself. Max does brilliant work. I could end with that because it pretty much sums up my thoughts on his photography, but I'll say more. It was through his impressive action shots that I realized that I also wanted a 70-200mm lens. Even though he does inspire the rest of us, he's a good guy and very free to compliment people on the work they do. It speaks volumes about his character. I'm always looking for the next big thing to come from Max... and he never disappoints.

When I started training with Max, he helped me to change my eating habits. I eat so much more healthy now and as a result have better muscle definition to show for it and I feel better. The weight training helped me develop great definition and feel more powerful for my videos and for my photo shoots. I’ve gotten so many compliments from people in the music business and just friends and family. Max absolutely cuts you no slack, but you feel great as a result. So it’s about feeling more powerful as well as being more powerful. He’s the man.
Read lessMax is a true team player and understands PEOPLE. His personality rocks big time and his creativity is very .... how shall I put it ... CATCHY. His awesome photos were many of my first favs.
Max is a bastard. He takes brilliant photographs that make mine look like dirt. Starts wonderful groups that leave mine in the mud, and THEN he goes and makes us all look like little kids with daddy's polaroid in the Chase. I'm going to be waiting for him in an Alley one night...

Max is Master Po to my Caine, Quincy to my Sam, Fonzie to my Richie, Batman to my Robin, Hawkeye to my Radar, Picard to my Wesley, Fred to my Barney, Sean Connery to my George Lazenby... Max is All-Flickr - a photographin', networkin', group-makin' dynamo. When he comments on your photo - and he will - consider yourself blessed. When he adds you to his contacts - and he will - consider yourself annointed. When he invites you to one of his ingenious group - and he will - consider yourself proven. in fact, you will find yourself devoting your entire photographic effort to capture something that will fit cleanly into Max's weltanzeitgeistschaunctgesellschaft - and you will.
