Car fanatic, and owner of a Canon 450D which is used on a daily basis. I have gradually swung to taking photos of flowers, and then manipulating them via www.ipiccy.com and www.picmonkey.com .
Paint.Net
GIMP and Photoshop
I lived in Umkomaas on the South East Coast of South Africa until the end of September 2016, but have now moved to Cape Town, with my cat, two parrots and my Boerbulls named Bear and Zoe, and crazy terrier cross called Jess.
I work hard to create my photos, so Please do not fave them without a comment on them or you will be BLOCKED. My photos are covered by © so please don't copy them without my specific permission.
Apart from that I'm pretty relaxed about life!! ;-))

I am sorry I have to add this:-
Flickr for me is about SHARING
Please DO NOT make me a CONTACT unless you intend SHARING, have pictures I can VIEW, and COMMENTING, for me this is what Flickr is about. Also it is not in the spirit of Flickr to just FAVE and put peoples work in your galleries - Especially if you have NOTHING for me to view.
I BLOCK people who do this - if you like my work say so - it is polite to show your appreciation to the artists who spent time and effort creating them!.
Also I will only make you a contact if your work really interests me - I am slowly trimming my contacts and groups. If you no longer find yourself a contact - it is more than likely you never comment, reciprocate - sorry ... and interests change.....

Getting to know this gentleman is an even greater privilege than sharing in his views of the world. Here is a rich history, told by a master story teller. Thank you Paul for sharing with us all. PS: vintage cars is his passion.
Paul, a dear old friend photographed in my Teen Pix, has written the most engaging and even thrilling reminiscences of our mutual friends from the early to mid-60s (or should I say 1960s now that we are in a new century) in northern Gauteng, South Africa.

Paul, a dear old friend photographed in my Teen Pix, has written the most engaging and even thrilling reminiscences of our mutual friends from the early to mid-60s (or should I say 1960s now that we are in a new century) in northern Gauteng, South Africa. How I am hoping for a real reunion before we all get too much older! What happiness portraits on flickr can give, later in life, when we rediscover old friends, interests, and the paths all our lives have taken.
