gardinergirl's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

Hi there.

Thanks for checking out my photostream.

I landed on flickr in June 2006, and have been completely overwhelmed with the quality of the work I've seen since then.

I started off just using flickr as a place to store my pics, but some kind souls gave me some positive comments and I quickly became a flickr addict!!!

I started with my trusty Sony H1, with its powerful zoom & awesome macro capabilities.

I upgraded to a Nikon D80 in November 2007. I currently use an AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8D, an AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm f3.5-5.6, and an AF Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D lens with it.

I look forward to enjoying and learning from your amazing photos in the future.

To see some fantastic shots, check out my favourites! Really, truly, you will find some amazing images there.

SugarbearSteve says:

"I considered cutting and pasting my fave testimonial until I realized you wrote it. Don't ya hate it when that happens?? You really have come on strong with your flower and tulip pics, some of the best on Flickr I might add.

You may send me the properly corrected version of this, just the changes please, no grade or I might get depressed. Blue gorillas are not a pretty sight.

Christine's comments are always so exceptionally witty that I often search for hours to steal some other person's comment to try to compete. I guess its not really stealing since imitation is so flattering.

(filler)
gardinergirl will have the chance to review this testimonial before it is published, so don't bother with something rude or nasty."
