I have been taking photo's for ages and ages.
Through the years I have come to feel that the camera is an appendage!.
I have requested to be buried with my camera(s). :-)
It has been and still is a magnificent obsession.
ATTN: Please check my fantastic GALLERIES of great Flickr photographers!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are some quotes and ideas that reflect some of my feelings about photography
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anything that excites me for any reason,
I will photograph;
not searching for unusual subject matter,
but making the commonplace unusual.
~Edward Weston
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Photography has not changed since its origin except in its technical aspects, which for me are not important." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Behind the camera, I was invisible.
When I lifted it up to my eye it was like I crawled into the lens,
losing myself there and everything else fell away."
— Sarah Dessen (Dreamland)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
-Thomas Merton

"When I was relatively new to the world of DSLR and flickr, there were few people I met on flickr, who guided me and are still helping me in a right direction, in terms of corrections and encouragements.
Out of these lovely photographers, Marilyn has the biggest share.
Her enormous work is fabulous and always brings a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing such amazing work Marilyn. You are a magician behind that lens.
Anyways, if any of you wants to photograph yourself in the afterlife, up above in heaven, I know whom you can contact. (read marilyn's profile) :)"26th June, 2009

"Here is a perceptive eye...sensitive to light and color, form and feeling.....the work is often striking in its zen spirit of simple design... yet it can also be so lush and sensuous....As a true artist creating and sharing so much beauty, Marilyn invites us into an often ecstatic celebration of the wondrous nature of the world we're in. Thank you for all this, Marilyn, and also for being a very kind and generous Flickr friend! You are an inspiration to us all!"
