My "bread and butter" job is that of an advertising illustrator. Many years ago, I was an art director and always enjoyed hiring photographers, and watching their magic!

After decades of standing by the sidelines, I've finally decided to give it a try too. I'm hoping that by posting some of my shots, garnering thoughts and comments from the Flickr community, my future images will get better with time.

I really enjoy the whole idea of Flickr: An open forum where people can share their images, and receive feedback so we can all grow as artists.

My experience is that a pattern of some automated followers are actually viruses. So unless I can determine a human is actually sending the request as with a comment (good or bad) on my photostream, I will not respond in kind. Please do NOT add me as a contact if you have no interest in my work.
