ClickCityPhotography's photostream  

(Please note the important, and newest, update toward the bottom ...)

50 something, open-minded, love music, love the beach, love to take pictures of interesting people ... changed my screen name with the idea that if I lose my amateur photographer status (i.e. turn pro), I'll already have a business name selected ...

If you live in So.Calif. and might be interested in posing for me, send me an e-mail. And follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/#!/clickcity

All of the archives will eventually be in this group:
www.flickr.com/groups/clickcity_archives-faves/
(And if you have something to add to the group that you think is appropriate to the theme, feel free to submit it!)

And I'm now on Tumblr: clickcityphotography.tumblr.com/

All photos are original and copyrighted. I hate blocking people -- I think it goes against the whole "sharing" philosophy -- but if you steal and repost any of my photos, I will find out and I will block you.
And then I will report you to Flickr for violation of community guidelines.

(But if you want to use one, just ask. I'll usually say yes, as long as you credit where it came from.)

And if you wish to favorite any of them, I'd be honored!

No additional images for F&F -- it's all here. F&F do get access to the original size files. If I add you as a contact at first, I can still upgrade you to F or F&F if you ask.

(And, as an aside, why are so many people so adamant that you comment on their photos if you favorite them? What if you just like the photo without really knowing why? Does it really advance the conversation to just say "nice?" Or "beautiful?" Or 'good?" If you don't have anything to say, feel free to not say anything. And if you do have something to say, feel free to express yourself. Either way, I won't mind.)

(UPDATE, 8-11-10: I'm in the process of weeding out some of the shots that haven't had many views/comments/favs. Apologies if I cut one of your favorites. And if you like one and you haven't faved or commented, you might want to do so before it gets to the chopping block. Thank you.)

(UPDATE 1-30-11: As I indicated above, I don't like to block people. But I just had to oust someone who posted an insulting, uncalled-for comment directed at the woman in a particular picture. Please, show some class.)

(UPDATE, 3-24-11: For those who wonder about the "off-season" images, labeled "dry brush," "watercolor," etc.: No, they aren't paintings. It's simply re-packaging my old photos -- some of which I have originals I link to, others of which I've never posted -- for which I've used the Photoshop function of that name. Hint: It's a great way to salvage photos that might have originally come out flawed ... and if you don't see a link to an original, that's probably what happened.)

(UPDATE 6-7-11: I just had to block someone who kept posting inappropriate -- read, explicitly nasty -- messages under some photos. Like I say, I hate blocking people, but show some class, will you please?)

(UPDATE 10-4-11: I'm just about ready to take a really hard line on comments. If it's the least bit disrespectful or inappropriate -- do I REALLY have to spell out what this means?? -- it will be deleted. If it happens again you'll be blocked. Last warning. Keep your lust to yourselves, OK?)


(UPDATE 12-12-11: I just had to block another knucklehead who posted an inappropriate/offensive comment to a photo. Some people just don't get the message, I guess. Be warned: Be classy or be blocked.)
