I first joined flickr in 2007 but have taken a couple of vacations along the way. My photographs herein have been taken in Southern California, Mexico, Chicago, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Portugal, and Algeria. I am, among other things, a street photographer. Street and candid photos make up a good portion of my work. So I dig being out on the streets at any time of the day or night with a camera. The excitement of the unknown, the surprises, the discoveries, the people and some of the dramas are very compelling to me.

Regarding my photographs: do not follow me nor fave my photographs if your photostream or favorites contain porn. I will block such members. I don't join groups requiring compulsory commenting and awarding nor do I want any standardized comments and will delete such things.

Some of my favorite quotes:

"Let us not forget in the darkness what we have learned in the light."

--Joseph Bayly

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things--and the God of peace will be with you."

--St. Paul

Philippians 4:8-9

"One should be ever booted, spurred and ready to depart."

--Michel de Montaigne (16th Century)

They are already saddling the horses in Heaven...
