SF knitter's photostream
|
I am an amateur photographer who used to live in the Bay area. Now I live in the greater Chicago area.
The wonderful photographers on Flickr have been an inspiration.
I like to photograph a variety of subjects. Some I consider closer to fine art - at least I strive to make them artful. Other shots I find whimsical and fun, so I post and hope you get a giggle out of them too.
Please note: if you email me photos for me to try to solicit comments and I don't know you, I will block you. I'm sorry, but I find it rude.

"I don't know how I initially stumbled upon Vivienne's photostream, but the minute I did, I was hooked. She has such a wonderful variety of landscapes, hummingbirds, her adorable photo-assist dog and a dose of everyday life. Viv has a stellar eye for composition and I look forward to seeing her posts. She is such a valuable friend and resource to have because she's knowledgeable about floral varieties and other neat stuff. I am thrilled to have met Viv through her photography."

"Vivienne is one of the sweetest flickr friends and not to mention a great photographer. After corresponding on each others work for a while, I had the privilege of meeting up with her and her husband on a shoot. She is a great person with contagious amounts of positive energy. Her photography is filled with great inspiration as she captures our backyard of the SF Bay Area. Whether it's a landscape or a nature shot her images are a treat to one's eyes. She constantly offers constructive criticism so that we can all improve in one way or another. Looking forward to more of your awesome work and being inspired along the way. Additionally, Vivienne is a very talented knitter. My son has been lucky enough to be the recipient of this talent as she knitted a berry cap for him.

"I’m honored to be the first to write a testimonial for Vivienne (SF knitter). It was her pictures of the Seattle area that first caught my attention. Growing up in that city I’m always interested in someone else’s perspective because, well, it’s my favorite place in the whole world. She so captured the essence of that beautiful place that I instantly became a fan of her work. Coincidentally, I was visiting Seattle with my daughter at the time I discovered Vivienne’s Seattle photos. My favorite picture from her stream isn’t of Seattle, though, it happens to be a scene from the city she currently lives; San Francisco. Here is the shot - www.flickr.com/ph... -. How can you not like this? She also has an incredibly cute dog named Jackie she uses as a model periodically - www.flickr.com/ph... - and she has some amazing bird pictures, especially Hummingbirds in which I’ve yet to score one of those, myself. She, also, loves to torment everyone with her incredible baking talents by posting photo’s of these tasty gems on flickr for all of us to covet. My computer screen has a permanent nose print and saliva streaks due to her food porn. I’ve never experienced her baked goods but after seeing the pictures I’m positive they are award winning. To sum it up, Vivienne’s stream has variety. If you browse through the pages of her work you’ll get a taste of everything. One thing you won’t get is bored. I visit her stream daily with great pleasure. She’s very gracious and is one of my favorite people on flickr."
