Generally I love Flickr, but some things I do hate, mainly people that are arrogant and selfish enough to be all consumed in their obsession to gain as many views as possible. ie. people that follow me with no interest in my photography, but simply so I will look at theirs. People that use groups as dumping grounds, dumping 20 photos onto a group (often where the photos are not appropriate to that group), with no interest in looking at other peoples photos.

I joined Flickr to share photos with friends, and people with a genuine interest in the subject matters. So if you are a 'view obsessive', or a dumper, PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW ME - I will NOT view your photos, however good. That said, if you are one of these people, I doubt you'll be reading this.

I love viewing other peoples photos, but not as much as I hate the sort of arrogance above.

I was born and brought up in Lossiemouth, Morayshire, studied Chemistry in Aberdeen before embarking on a career in the IT Industry in Lanarkshire, then South Yorkshire.

I've been in Rotherham, South Yorkshire for more than half my life now.

Photographic interests are mainly landscapes, mushrooms, aircraft, birds and insects, but almost anything really.
