SaganGathering's photostream

I'm too ecclectic for my own good. But obviously I like photography. Over 21. ;-)

If you are photo collector, or repost others' photos as if they are your own, you will want to leave now and look at someone else's stream. I will report your deception to Flickr administration. People who pretend to be something they're not and steal others photos and repost them are doing something very wrong and inexcusable. Go out and shoot your own darn photos. It's fun. Find a photo meetup group in your region. Trade with an amateur model if you have to. Hire a seasoned pro if you must. Just get out there and create your own stuff. You can do it!

If Flickr isn't hot enough for you, you need to check your settings:

The gifting of a Flickr account would never be turned down! I'm running out of room and am about to hit the 200 free photo limit.


People who copy, re-upload or otherwise use my photographs without permission- anywhere, will be tracked down and dealt with. By legal means... or extra-legal means. I embed copyright and other info in my images.

If you upload images but don't allow people to see slightly larger versions or don't allow people to download them, you earn people's disdain and may often get yourself blocked. Little 600x800 images are nothing but an insulting tease. Why put them online at all if you don't want people to view desktop-sized versions? Do you like making people squint? And do you really think people can't save those little versions of your uploads? Ever try the Firefox/Mozilla Tools -> Page Info -> Media tab?

If you want to have Contact or Friend/Family status, you should have your own worthwhile original material. If you don't have the "All Sizes" button enabled, and you want me to be a Contact or especially a "Friends" well that's just not going to work out. My "All Sizes" option is "ON", yours should be too! There's no point in wasting anyone's time if you do not allow people to view your images at at least 1024x768. We are not using Apple IIe's and Vic-20's so please go here and make sure you have either Anyone or "Any Flickr User" selected so we can see images that at least fill our browser window. /eyeroll

1.) My stream contains my work (on either side of the lens), or collaborations. The few exceptions will be clearly marked.

2) If you have none of your own original photos up here, I may consider blocking you if you appear to use Flickrmostly for porn-harvesting. Share and share alike. If your Favorites are hidden too, you will probably end up blocked if your primary interest appears to be porn-harvesting.

3.) Not interested in joining you in any of the "alternative lifestyles" such as CD, TV, TS, Gay, footies, etc. That's fine for you, but I like women. Please don't bother Favoriting my work if your Favorites contain much of that stuff. Please don't add me as a Contact or Friend if your hope is to "get somewhere" (only legitimate mutual artistic photographic interests please). Please don't Favorite any of my nudes if your Favorites already contain a lot of gay or male anatomy. I don't want my work out there for that (but you're free to bookmark any images you like). Ignoring the above wishes will probably get you blocked.

4.) If you want one of my photos added to a group/pool, please, please make it addable via a button and send me a group invite as well. Preferably do it by posting a one-click button link for that purpose. As a free user, i'm limited to 10 group submissions per photo.

5.) What this "Post one, Award 2" stuff about? What is that!?

6. As a general rule, here are the requirements for adding as F/F:
a.) Exif info on photos in order to help verify you are the owner and not some impostor.
b.) Allow viewing of large images. Generally speaking if you do not allow the option to view "All Sizes" then you might not be added as f/f. Small images are pointless or teases. I can understand wanting to protect your photos and it is certainly your prerogative to not allow viewing of "All Sizes" just as it is my prerogative not to add others as f/f who do not allow me to view larger images.
c.) If you're posting web pics (which is against Flickr rules) then they better be labeled as such. I hate finding web pics in someone's stream and they are either trying to imply that they are their own photos or they are explicitly lying and claiming them as their own. I will NOT add such people.

Now with all that said, this is going to blow your mind:
