Picture taker, lover of life. I do not pretend to be a photographer I take pictures because I enjoy taking pictures. Pictures capture the moment they freeze time. .

I have a goal of taking pictures everyday that is what you will see, most days I manage it. In many ways this is my journal of every day life Leave a comment if you have time.

I have added an album with pictures of my wife Suzanne who passed away on the 15 of October 2022 I will always love and miss her. We had 49 years together. I have over 80,000 pictures on Flickr not all of them are viewable by the general public but as they document my family life they are a comfort to me. The camera catches the image and the subject is forever young in the picture!

OK folks these are my pictures should you want to use them ask in most cases all I want is to be acknowledged. No one may use my pictures with out my authorization.

"You sleep safe in your beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do you harm!"

George Orwell

"I believe in the equality of man; and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy." Thomas Paine

";THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated." ; Thomas Paine from the American Crisis.
