"A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety." ~ Ansel Adams

"Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure." ~ Tony Benn


Photography is an extension of my passion for nature and people. I love capturing special & unforgettable moments and telling a story with my images. I became hopelessly in love with photography at a young age as soon as I saw my uncle's photos using his 35mm. The pictures are what draw my attention everytime I flip through magazines. My first Digital camera was a Canon A70, it was a great point and shoot camera that has captured some memorable photos of my late mother and my late brother. I love all my cameras. Actually, I'm obsessed with them. They are the tools that make it possible for me to capture those moments in life I fall in love with... Moments that would be lost otherwise.

I am by no means a professional photographer, I'm trying to learn all the different aspects of photography; Flickr is a great site that allows me to do that, I enjoy viewing all the inspiring photos posted by my fellow Flickr friends. Someday I hope to be able to capture the finest visual images with unparalleled quality and style.

I'm sure you all enjoy feedback as much as I do. And I welcome all beneficial and helpful criticism. But if you have something insulting/harsh to say, just don't say it at all. There's an appropriate way of sharing your opinion. Mean commentary is certainly something I don't appreciate.

I try to keep my number of contacts as low as possible so I can have more time visiting their photostreams. I do however welcome new contacts. But if you add me without taking the time to visit my photostream, please don't waste your time and mine. I will not allow members who do not have photos in their photostreams to fave mine.

    "Where to begin when describing Leena? First - she is a wonderful, loving, caring person and for me, that is always most important. But her work, oh my goodness, her photography is without question of the finest quality. Leena combines exceptional technical proficiency with outstanding artistry, to create photographs that leave a lasting impression. I never look at Leena's photos just once. Once is never enough to take in all the beauty that they offer; the emotions that they evoke. Thank you Leena for bringing beauty into my life through your personality and your art. I am blessed to have you as my friend. xoxox"

    I especially like her green theme for things.
    Her variety displays so much of creativity, talent and skill.
    Thank you for sharing your lovely pictures with us and giving me endless moments of joy just enjoying your albums.
    Well done Leena!
