{ Flex }'s photostream

A photography hobbyist, many of my pictures are born from the continuous pursuit of my other favorite activities: traveling and hiking. Truth be told, I actually didn't much care for photography until I bought a digital camera in 2001, and at that, only because it was a rock-bottom deal. Now, many years later, I always enjoy exploring the amazing images on Flickr, for both learning and inspiration. I hope people find my photostream interesting and I appreciate all comments, critical or otherwise. Thank you...!

At the heart of all photography is an urge to express our deepest personal feelings - to reveal our inner, hidden selves, to unlock the artist. Those of us who become photographers are never satisfied with just looking at someone else's expression of something that is dear to us. We must produce our own images, instead of buying postcards and photo books. We seek to make our own statements of individuality. - Galen Rowell
