Short, technically a senior, frighteningly average. Lover of reading, writing, photography, science fiction, comic books, dolls and dollhouses, toys, and chocolate, not necessarily in that order. Retired public librarian.

Ever since I got my first camera, a Brownie Starmite, in 1962, photography has been one of my many hobbies.

My photoblog is Creative Endeavors.

My current cameras are:

Canon Rebel T5i,

Canon Rebel SL1

Samsung Galaxy S24 phone

I've added many of my older photos to my flickr account. They were taken with my Brownie Starmite, a Kodak Instamatic, a Minolta Maxxum, and a Pentax film camera.

If I don't join a group I'm invited to join, it's simply because I don't think I'll be able to come up with appropriate photos or because there are too many rules to keep track of. I do appreciate the offers, though. I really don't like the animated graphics in comments and will delete them. Thanks for understanding.

I also won't add invited photos to groups that don't have public pools. If a group goes private after I join, so be it, but I can't join every group and I don't think it's fair that neither I nor others not in a group can see my photos posted in non-public pools.
