April/July 2010 Update

So, you want to know more about me, eh? A semi-pro photographer returning to the passion of photo taking. At the moment, I shoot with either a Sony dslr or a Sony point and shoot.

Although I make plenty of mistakes, I learn from them. With the technological advances of digital, it is now so much easier with the use of dslrs and a mammoth-size memory card or two. (although I may go back to film, eventually...) ;) Any suggestions?

Photography interests include but not limited to the following: architectural, landscape, street photography, travel photography, candids, black and white, and abstracts. You can get a good survey of photos I like in the 'My Favorites' set and photos that fellow Flickrites have liked in the 'Your Favorites' set.

Thanks for stopping by the photostream and thanks for the visits, replies, awards, invites, and scores. Please email and let me know if you use any of my pictures that are under Creative Commons license. If you see a picture that is "all rights reserved" drop me an flickrmail, email or tweet (for a site, blog, or other) and I may let you use it. Please do not steal my pictures and claim them as your own. That is greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I will ask you to take the images down.

My former flickr screen name was 09traveler, but I changed it to Carl_C. With so many social media screen names, I'm trying to consolidate the ids/names/avatars/etc.

"Carl is a traveler... he's taking us to his trips, with his own way of seeing things around him wherever he is... I'm on the other side of earth and I feel like he's so far and yet so near...
Glad for our flickrship"

"Carl is one of the most talented photographers I've seen anywhere. He sees the details that many of us miss and turns them into photographic gems. His architectural photos are works of art. Add a kind, generous spirit to an excellent photographer, and you have the definition of Carl. He is definitely one of my most supportive flickr friends."

Zeetz Jones says:

"I met Carl here on flickr like many of my wonderful friends. He’s a well-traveled person and documents his adventures and experiences through his camera. If he disappears for a week or so, you can be assured he’s traveling in parts of North America or some countries in the world. He’s a very responsive contact who comments on your photostream and takes care to see other posts and unafraid to point out specifics on your images. He’s a wonderful person to be in touch with. I’m pleased to have this D.C. resident as one of my good friends.
Carl, I wish you the best on your passions ~ travel and photography!"

"Carl's work is an inspiration. He is able to see the beauty in the everyday. His attention to detail is amazing. Many of his photos are places I've visited, and yet I didn't see the photographic potential. His humility about his work is charming, but unwarranted."
