I am over 18 years old. I was born in 1952. To look at me: 6'2", salt & pepper hair, full beard, blue eyes, huge belly, happy face.

ALL PHOTOS WERE TAKEN BY ME or my friends. I don't think Flickr is the best place to collect images found on the Internet. (I tend to put up lots of marginal photos... you'd be better off going to my collections where maybe I have organized and culled some.

I was never an art student. Of course, during my life, I went through a phase or two where I would strive to take meaningful and striking photographs, but in the end I simply enjoy seeing the world through the view finder. Most of my pictures look like they are taken by a tourist who is late for the bus.

My partner Gregg and I moved to Palm Springs in July 2007. It is quite a change after a lifetime in Seattle, but a nice destination for retirement.

To know me: quiet, silly, introspective, no drama, my life is an open book. "Friends" (of Dorothy and otherwise) may want "friend" me to see the friendly pictures. By the way, I am both taken and open.

Flickr is for sharing. Show me yours, I'll show you mine. "Friends" should have something to show. Add tags as you see fit!
