Universal Pops (mostly
inactive)'s photostream
|
Retired from teaching 38 years in public schools, I read, write, compose music, cook lots of soups, and have, in the last 3 years, taken up photography. I am 70 years old (as of Sep 2011) and find that life is good. I have numerous "kids" who are the joy and blessings of my life.
Not by nature a visual person, I've discovered that photography has opened up the sense of sight. The world has more depth and color than it used to. It's still a delight to see familiar sights for the "first time". I hope viewers can take away something pleasurable from looking at my photos. All I've known digitally is a point and shoot camera; I have no tripod, use mostly automatic settings, and employ Picasa as my processing program--definitely not an elaborate setup.
I'd appreciate if you did not promote your photostream (Flickriver, etc) in your comments.

"Universal Pops is an inspiring photographer with a keen eye for
multi-angle shots that enable his audience to have a virtual tour, if
you will, of the classic homes he visits. I always thoroughly enjoy
the photographs that bring out the unique detail and design of the
subject at hand."31st October, 2010

"David has been a contact for only a few months, but I already appreciate his photography. He is so enthusiastic & observant, both with the taking of his subjects & what his sees in contact's pics, and it's a pleasure to know him. He is a fast learner & I hope he continues to delight us with his pics.
