Limbo Poet's photostream
|
20th June 2010
I think that it is about time to update my profile, so here goes:
I love:
Nature
Music
Photography
Movies
Food (eating it and cooking it)
My Garden
Visiting the seaside
Seeing my son and his wonderful family (which is a rare and precious thing nowadays as they live overseas)
I dislike:
Sport
Bigots
Liars
War
Governments
I write poetry and have released a CD combining the music of Gavin Stephens with my poetry. The CD is called " I Can't Believe I'm Not Buddha". You can hear some of the tracks here:
www.myspace.com/limbopoet
My photography is a passion and I hope that that passion is evident here.

Lynn 3nglish-On & Off says:
"I just have to write a testimonial about you Fred! We've been contacts for quite a while and your photos are a joy.
I recommend everyone to view your photos. They are the most beautiful nature and flower shots any one could view. Your macros hold such color and clarity. I think you have the most variety of flowers of anyone on Flickr.
I look forward to the viewing of each of your beauties and wonder what will be coming next..
The most interesting is that they are all from your own garden. You are quite the natture enthusiast.
You love to cook too, so I am hoping you will start showing some of your great,kitchen art too.
Fred, you have become a wonderful friend too. I really enjoy hearing about your English lifestyle.
I was attracted to you, Fred by your Flickr name as I love poetry too. Then I had to become your contact when I took a look as your flowers.
Keep on snapping, Fred, we all love your beauties!"20th October, 2010

"What do you get when you combine a poet and a photographer? An amazingly talented artist named Fred!!!! I love Fred's photo's. I am so grateful for Mike and his garden because this allows Fred to bring us all the gorgeous flower photos. His work is not limited to flowers though. Fred is able to find beauty and bring it to us from every arena.
Fred's creativity and keen eye are evident in all of his work. He not only sees beauty but is able to capture it so perfectly!!!
Fred is also a wonderful flickr friend. He has a great sense of humor, is very thoughtful and is simply a nice person.
He visits, praises and encourages faithfully.
There are so many people on flickr who love you Fred and I am one of them. I consider it a blessing to call you friend.
Thank you so much for all of the kindness, love and beauty you bring to our world."11th February, 2009

"I have been reading all the testimonials about Fred and it is really hard to write something new about our friend. Some words that are coming to my mind right now: sensitivity; elegance; the capacity to express the right feeling when we are feeling blue; affection.
I just want to say thank you, Fred. In these modern times, we must believe intensely in the power of words.
************
Después de haber leído los comentarios sobre nuestro amigo Fred, es realmente difícil decir algo que no se haya dicho ya. Algunas palabras me llegan al escribir ésto: sensibilidad; elegancia; la capacidad para hacerte sentir bien en los momentos bajos; afecto.
Simplemente quiero darte las gracias, Fred. En estos tiempos que corren, debemos creer más intensamente en el poder de las palabras."2nd January, 2009

OliBac says:
"Un petit mot pour dire tout le mal que je pense de Fred :
Fred est un ami fidèle, sensible et attentionné. Chacune de ses photos offre toujours un plaisir renouvelé. Chacune de ses photos porte sa marque. On pourrait dire "Ça, c'est une photo de Fred !", comme on dit "Ça, c'est un Warhol ou un Rembrandt"."25th December, 2008

"Wow I seem to forget that we can write something that doesn't get lost in a barrage of comments on a photo.
Fred has been my friend for 2 years and I am dumbfounded we are both just getting around to writing testimonials for each other.
I remember when I first met him and he said he lives alone, but he's not gay. That made me laugh my head off. Who cares what a persons preference is anyway. I can handle you being straight Fred...lol
I saw him through a tough time in his life and that has made him stronger and more caring.
He is alawys there for me and supports the work I create. Mind you I want more words sometimes and he says one or 2....bastard...(kidding)
I like seeing his world through his photgraphy and and am always impressed. he has become one of those flickr people that everyone who comes into contact with him...loves him.
I am a bit jealous that he has so many explored photos. I have 100 now at the time of writing this. But he does deserve all the accolades.
It cheers me up when he tells me how much I make him laugh as that is one thing I love to do.
Keeep on being you Fred and I will be me...the fool with a ham sandwich... lol
Make sure you keep your nuts hidden from your squirrelly friends that play hide n seek with you.
Many thanks and looking forward to our continued friendship.
Forever friends

"Limbo Poet is one of the best I know. His photostream is full of wonderful photos of beautiful colors and wonderful sharpness. All the beautiful flowers and swans in his photo stream is wonderful to watch, but all his photos are really worth seeing. He is also a real good flickr-friend who spread joy with his comments. Thanks for all the photos you share with us, and thanks for all the comments you've written at my photos. Greetings from your flickr-friend Ulla"

"I got to know Fred by the flickr one day. After that, I am enjoying his work for a long time. His work has take in the humour and the pathos of the life well like the poet. It is seen here and there of the photograph and the title. Especially, his photographs of the flowers, nature views, and the swans are beautiful and lovely. I am always helped by his remarkable piece of work and nice character. Moreover, "Fred is an indispensable person on the flickr". We are convinced.
Fred, Thank you very much for being great flickr friend.

"I feel as if I have known Fred forever. One of the nicest, most GENUINE people I have ever come across and I cannot tell you the amount of times that Fred's emails to me have lifted my spirits.
As Fred's words uplift me, so do his photos. This is his World and I am so pleased I am a part of it. I think I have come to love Mike's garden, a source of a lot of Fred's photos, as much as Fred does.
Fred is gentle, kind, funny a SUPERB photographer and I love you dearly friend. HUGSXXXXX"17th October, 2008

"Limbo Poet (Fred) is one of those very rare individuals - a really great man and a nice guy. Always quick to praise and comment on others, always ready to add another beautiful image to his photostream. He has many testimonials telling everyone what a great guy he is, so I can say no more, other than - search through his stuff and be reminded what a wonderful world we live in."

"The eye of an artist, the soul of a poet! This describes the beautiful images that Fred creates. His wonderful gallery of photos is one of the finest on Flickr and well worth a visit. Not only a talented artist, Fred is also a remarkable, gentle, kind human being who takes time to leave encouraging, insightful comments for others. Having Fred as a friend is one of the special rewards of my brief time with Flickr."

"My love for poems is so great that I often write a poem in my mind
and put in in paper another time.
When Fred puts a poem on his captures my first look is at his poem then the photo
and all ties in.
Fred is been a friend to many I am sure,his wonderful captures and gentle thoughts
made him be mine also, and that what I treasure most!
A friend that I hope all will cherish like I do!
Thanks my friend for sharing you inner thoughts!

"Multi-talented, poet and photograher, serious dude with a sense of humor. His poetry recordings, featured on myspace, are very well done, with musical backgrounds and soft, sensual delivery of the words. The photos speak for themselves. A very rewarding presence."
