itucker's photostream

i believe my photos are simple and honest. little or no enhancements or modifications are utilized. while i may be technologically ahead of the curve within my profession, once outside the office i need help programming my cell phone. my third grade teacher was correct, "ira is a bright boy, but he can't follow directions." the more things change, the more...
as of may, 2008, i have begun using a canon powershot S5 IS. it no longer fits in my pocket, but it does enable me to spread my wings a bit. i briefly considered/deliberated the purchase of a dslr, but my life is complicated enough already. and i am simply not yet ready to devote more time, energy and braincells to what to this point has been an enjoyable hobby
i do make what i believe is a more than reasonable effort to visit the photostreams of those whose work i admire and comments i appreciate. to that end, i periodically add to and delete from my lists of contacts, as well as keep the number of groups to which i belong to a manageable number. if you like my modest contribution to the flickr community, simply comment on occasion and i promise to return the favor. thanks for stopping by. ira

""Ira is an amazing talented photographer as you can see his work speaks for itself.
His photos are perfectly composed with an eye for mastering excellent detail, as well as wonderful use of light and colors.
His photos are wonderful, brilliant, and spectacular, drawing the viewer into the picture frame leaving them with such a wonderful captivating feeling.
He truly loves nature and has the ability to capture it in it's finest.
Ira's trademark is in his exceptionally superb titles. Spectacular and unique, naming just a few, from suggestive, poetic, passionate, to the fun filled dry sense of humor that we all love about Ira.
He is a fine perfectionist and an inspirational photographer to me and to those who know him.
His photostream is versatile, ranging from gorgeous flower shots, to beautiful butterflies, spectacular landscape scenery, and I even found some beautiful artsy photography while browsing his photostream.
A hidden secret maybe? ; )
He is a kindhearted and sincere friend with a wonderful sense of humor. I always look forward to his wonderful, witty, and upbeat comments. I sure do enjoy my Ira fix as he always brightens up my day with laughter.
Ira is an incredible asset to the flickr community, his contacts, friends, and future friends.
If you haven't checked out this amazing talented photographers photostream I strongly suggest you stop what you're doing, grab yourself a little something to eat and drink and take the Hottie Ira tour. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you Ira, I'm proud to call you my friend. :-)
~The friends we meet on the path of life make the trip worth while~
Hugs and Stuff,
Keep on rocking it B-Boy Style!

"Ira has exquisite photos, full of passion and creativity.
I am always amazed at the beauty he finds. Ira possess exceptional talent and skill. His pics are spectacular, lush and elegant. I love his suggestive titles~
His photo's show ingenuity, balance and a great sense of composition. Each one is unique in its own way and each is truly amazing!
Ira takes time to look at your photo and leaves a comment that only he can leave; fun, suggestive, tantilizing. I look forward to reading Ira's verbal flowers, as he picks up on my titles meanings and runs with it.

"Ituckers work-well simply put, beautiful. Since my photogrpahy is a world of chaos, I find coming here like a walk through a Buddhist Temple. I leave always wanting more!!! But I know it was well worth the trip.

"Sometimes I write testimonials because someone is a great photographer and other times I write them because, someone is very kind. Itucker just happens to be both. He has beautiful sets of flowers that are a definite "must see". My favorite set is the driedels. He has a wonderful collection. They are all unique and beautiful.
He is thoughtful and generous with his comments. I have enjoyed crossing paths with him and you will too."1st August, 2006
