Phil Marion
Drag to set position!
By day I am an office drone in a large Toronto financial company. However on weekends and vacations, I morph in to a photo-enthusiast armed with a Canon DSLR and assorted lenses. I use this Flickr account to share my experiences with others. Flickr has definitely been a great experience for me. Why?
Allow me to explain....
I took the photo of the Easter Island moai below while on vacation a few years ago with an 'ancient' 8.2 megapixel 'Canon 30D.
Well imagine my surprise when it was selected by National Geographic magazine for use in the Archaeology section of the November 2010 International (not North American) English print magazine edition.
It was licensed for internet use as well and appears on their blogsphere.
blogs.ngm.com/blog_central/2010/11/easter-island-hats.htm...
They paid me, they credited me.
So. How did they find me? I never once submitted them anything. They actually saw my photo here and contacted me through Flickr. So keep posting your photos and who knows? Maybe you'll get a request from National Geographic to use one of your photos.
Also thanks to Flickr one of Canada's national newspapers The National Post used my photo of a Toronto man ice-fishing in their Saturday editon paper.
It appeared the day earlier in their online version.

Read lessContratulations to you great variety of galleries. It's amazing.
Phil obviously uses his brain a lot. People talk about others having a great eye, but it's really your brain. It appreciates form, colour and beauty and also has an appreciation of the curious things in life (and death).
A refreshingly different & interesting portfolio. As for Explore surely your National Geographic publication has more impact & gauge of achievement than Flickr's algorithm-based Showcase! May the light be with you 😊
Amazing photos. I was looking at them thinking "this guy does this professionally". I first saw your photography skills on Talk Photography forums and was in awe then. After browsing your flickr albums, I am blown away. Truly amazing work. The world is a big place and it needs exploring. Keep up the inspirational work.… Read more

you have amazing images.
Hello Phil have viewed your photographs and I am also bewildered why none have never been shown "In Explore" many should have been and by many I mean you should be at the top of the list. Loved looking through your exhibits and the way you capture scenes is beautiful.
Phil has an excellent eye for light and color. This is a fine body of work.
A superb photostream - such variety executed very skilfully! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent Photograph. Love your work !
Great eye on the world - fascinating ! Congrats !
