WELCOME to my part of the flickr world. My name is Geoffrey Hamilton, a humble man in his 50s retired trying to give people a view of the world through a lens.We are moving too fast through our lives, missing much of the wonder ,humor ,joy, and beauty all around us.My canvas is life, the lens my brush, my pallet the camera. I hope my pictures will bring you smiles chuckles and new perspectives. What one sees through a lens often inspires one to write. I have begun a blog at ; www.ofratsandmen@blogspot.com. Please stop by and see if there is anything that interests you.
