Hello, My name is Art and I'm an amateur photographer with a smartphone camera which seems to work unbelievably well for me. I've promised myself a better camera for years. I hope to buy one in 2019. Last night I changed my Flickr name from NY to Art of MA Foto Stud. It seems appropriate now that I live in Massachusetts again, right? On Flickr I share treasured memories of my own life and try to portray the best of places I have visited and in which I have lived. Not all are upbeat, designed to make people feel good. I include also some photos which make people truly feel, sometimes how lonely life can be. I welcome positive comments including positive criticism. Going forward I plan on spending more time viewing and enjoying other's photos. Thank you for your comments and "favoriting". Happy Photographing - Art Blackburn, February 20, 2018. P.S. Flickr pet peeve: Pictures with no title or description, pictures which DON'T REVEAL ANY LOCATION, "Abouts" which don't even have the country of the photographer.
