My first camera was a Kodak Brownie Starflash, which, alas, I no longer have. There have been plenty of others, and my collection now includes a Rollieflex 35M, a Rolleicord twin-lens reflex, a Kodak Duoflex, a 35mm Argus rangefinder camera, my maternal grandmother’s Kodak Brownie No. 2 and one of the original Canon ELPHs that uses APS film.

Rarely do I shoot with film these days – I usually use my Canon Digital Rebel XSi or A720IS or, in inclement weather, my Canon PowerShot S300 in its waterproof case.

Flickr is great fun, and I very much enjoy the way it challenges me to grow as a photographer and enables me to connect with creative people from all over the world. Don’t be shy!

A couple of things you should know: I don’t much care for spam, so any spam comments on my photos will be deleted and the poster will be blocked. And nothing personal, but I don’t like elements that blink, flash, twirl or exhibit similar obnoxious behavior and will delete any comments or invitations that contain them.

Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face - the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited; and the wealth and confusion that man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.
