Baby boomber and loving the bus pass!

My Pentax was given as a present in 2009 and a year later I took the Open University course T189 which lead me to join Flickr and T189 groups to begin with, but now enjoy being part of the wider flickr community. Since then I have gained my ARPS, LRPS, CPAGB and AFIAP .......... and still learning!

Ansel Adas quotes I love:

“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”

Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.

A photograph is not an accident – it is a concept.

A good photograph is knowing where to stand

There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.

A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.

Ask yourself, "Why am I seeing and feeling this? How am I growing? What am I learning?" Remember: Every coincidence is potentially meaningful. How high your awareness level is determines how much meaning you get from your world. Photography can teach you to improve your awareness level. - Ansel Adams

and from Mark Twain

“You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.”
