I work professionally for zonemag.com and Aura creative photography. Please see www.auracreative.co.uk for details.

I may come across rude, i'm not, i just have to make things clear to people that can't read.

I started my photography life using a Nikon, now I use Canon. It's personal preference. Lets not judge now. The camera is just a way to record a moment.

Yes, I do like having my images displayed and used, but for heavens sake, flickr is not a stock photo website. If you like one of my images please ask me to use it. Most of the time I will say yes. Manners cost nothing. Got that? Good.

Another thing, flickr is for photos, Right? The little box under each photo is for commenting it, not flirting with me. Okay?

If you favourite one of my images, i will add you as a contact most probably.

If you favourite one of my images, and you have no images yourself, i will block you. Simple as.

I hate it when people buy a camera and call themselves a photographer. Does buying a piano automatically make you a pianist? No, it doesn't.

It’s the person that makes the picture, not the camera.

Ryan DeVoll says:

"Josh really was one of the few who inspired me to get a digital SLR and start my hobby in photography. His images are stunning and magnificent. If only I could be as good as him :)."

"Josh Holmes is a very talented young photographer that frequently posts some of the most amazing shots I have ever come across. Josh is currently studying a BTEC programme in photography which will equip him with the skills to take even better shots! As an ex Scout Leader it is heartening to discover that Josh has been given great encouragement by the Scout Leader to experiment with his camera and go on to take amazing shots. I warmly invite you to explore Josh Holmes world through his wonderful portraits on www.flickr.com and off course his very attractive web site. The world wide community of flickr is indeed blessed to have Josh Holmes as a Pro member and for his willingness to share photos in such a generous fashion."

"It's always great to see what Josh has uploaded, either bringing new creativity or just making others look better.

I just hope i can improve as much as Josh did from seeing his first shots, just take a look at his extremly small collection!"
