Flickr was a part of my photography journey for a long time. Then we parted ways, sort of.

I wandered off and became a Getty Images and Arcangel contributor, and also created my own content creation business, which still keeps me busy most of the time. I've worked in the publishing industry for most of my career as an editor. I love books and words as much as I love taking photos.

Long story short, I'm back in this amazing community and loving what I've found here. Serious passionate photographers who are here because they love exploring photography.

Sharon is creating many beautiful images. Her macro work in particular shows great skill and reflects her empathy with nature. Sharon is also a great Flickr contact and friend, frequently stopping by and showing interest and leaving kind comments/invites. Sharon also demonstrates an uncanny understanding about what lies behind some of my images, which is both pleasing and nervewracking at the same time. Keep the great work coming Sharon, and thanks for your time, attention and friendship.

They say if you look close enough, you can see an entire little world in a flower, and Sharon has got to be one of the best tour guides to that world. "Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into"...she gives them that soul and graciously shares it with everyone. "The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces others, they will bloom like flowers." Sharon's presence and words are always a gift, such real kindness! If friends were flowers, I'd pick you!! You're a wonder-full talent and gal!
