The urban snapper's photostream

Me:
My name is James I'm a 30something living in Birmingham, England. I'm a mixed bag kind of guy who's fairly normal, down to earth, funny, creative, slightly weird, bit of a geek, passionate and outgoing. I'm frequently told I have the patience of a saint. I spend far too much time tagging and researching my photo's which frustrates me. My partner thinks i'm noisy? not sure what that's about lol. I don't think my photo's show the real me but focus more on things I like or am interested in.
I like the Flickr idea of sharing photo's with other people and showing them something they may never have seen or experienced unless someone posts it on flickr. I sadly have to fit Flickr and photography around work which though I love my job I love my hobbies more. Flickr is a great place to mooch about and learn about other people and see what others are photographing.
I some how went from taking holiday photo's to snapping everything. I happily know very little about the technical side of photography. Point the camera at something that looks interesting or beauiful and press a button thats as technical as I get. I use a flashy Kodax Z980 with a godzilla sized flash which frankly I have no idea what to do with it or how it works - I don't think it's ever come out of the box. It's way scarier than my previous little camera (RIP)
My Ethos
This isn't Facebook so don't add me to build up your numbers. I can't be bothered with hoarding contacts and playing the numbers game so if I add you then I am genuninely intetested in what your photographing.
If you have an empty photostream or nothing available for me to see. (why are you adding me as a contact) Also I'm no prude but there is a difference between photography and blantant porn if you have nothing but porn images on your profile - then bye bye i'm not intrested.
If you wanna know anything more than what I have put down then just send me a message, I don't bite. Grrrrr

"James has a stream full of amazing architectural details. I really can't keep up with the variety and quality of his photos, but they are always a pleasure to see pop up in my contacts list. Its rare that I get so jealous of someone else's architecture shots, but James has me absolutely green with it! Keep up the good work mate, and keep inspiring me."
