I am a: Photographer, Graphic Designer, Husband & Dad.

My images are presented for the enjoyment of my long time Flickr friends and contacts, and viewers with an appreciation of landscapes and natural details. Please do not use them to make comments promoting/advancing any political/religious or environmental agenda. Unsolicited commentary unrelated to the photo or it's subject matter will be deleted. Also please do not include a thumbnail or mini-gallery of your latest work in any comments you leave. My work and the views of my contacts are not a source for traffic to your images!

Group invites for photos are fine and appreciated, but please not any with large animated graphics or extensive thumbnails of group/user images. Also, I usually post photos that have an admin invite, but if I have to join your group to post I most likely won't. I've already pared back the number of groups I belong to.

Flickr Explore as been kind to me lately and a number of my images have placed very highly in the ranking. I am pleased and honored by every fav, comment and person adding me as a contact, I can't thank you enough, but to keep the quality of attention to my existing contacts I may not be able to reciprocate, thank you for your understanding.
