Describe myself...... Not something I'm usually given to doing, so I'll keep it fairly brief, well brief-ish.....
So with me, pretty much what you see is what you get....

I Love photography, love photoshop, love having a good laugh, I'm nearly always upbeat and annoying (in a good way), love trying anything new, love scaring the cr*p out of myself..... Hate arrogance, hate ignorance, hate people who try to be something they're not, hate being serious for too long and I don't do stress unless it's absolutely essential.....
Ummmm..... guess that pretty much sums me up.

If you take the time and effort to comment on any of my shots, I will always do my best to return the compliment and look at your stream and comment too.

    "Brian is a special talent here on Flickr. His wonderfully varied stream reveals a great skill with the camera along with an artistic eye and an ability to master all forms of post processing techniques. I admire his skills in HDR and his willingness to try new things, even if it means being teased by the masses ;)…lol…

    I must say too that I am in debt to Brian for all his kind tips and advice when it comes to using my own cam and post processing. Besides these things, he is crazy and funny making his stream always unexpected and a delight to visit. :) My favorite photog for sure!

    Keep it up Brian. You're stuff is awesome!! You inspire me! :)"

    "Ah, Brian...fortunately for me, he was one of my first contacts on Flickr. Not quite sure how that has worked our for him ;0) His was the first HDR image I had ever seen, and it opened my eyes to a completely new way of viewing a scene and bringing it to life. Never overdone, and always spot on fantastic, he masterfully creates a work of art each and every time.

    Never at a loss for humorous quips, his comments are something I look forward to as well. He has offered his opinions and assistance freely, and has inspired my own beginning forays into the world of HDR. I'm grateful for his encouragement and positive outlook. He is a great example of true talent and a perfect ambassador for the Flickr community...even if he is a slug ;0)

    Thanks Brian for sharing your enhanced version of the world with the rest of us...it's quite the view!."

    "Brian is a true artist. His photostream is always one of the first that I view everyday. I want to be just as good as him when I grow up, lol! He has a wonderful sense of humour and I enjoy reading his comments ALMOST as much as I do looking at his pics! He's a wonderful Flickr friend who always has something encouraging to say about your photos. Thanks, Brian, for being you!"

    "Ok here goes & I know I have to be nice, Brian (my little brother) has always been & will always be an artistic little sod. He has an eye for a shot & can make it into something special with his processing. Sense of humour,,,,,,,,,,,,,Brian has one in abundance & likes nothing more than some good old fahioned banter, he always takes whats thrown at him with good grace & can return the missiles in equal measure without offending. Brian's artistic brain is often picked by others(us included) & he is always gracious enough to share some of his secrets,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,long may he continue. phew those few kind words have left me feeling nauseous."

    "Your work is fantastic.
    I have noticed a common theme throughout many of your images and it is something you do better than anyone else I share with on flickr. Many of your images combine seperate elements that you bring together in a brilliant and superb way. Whether headstones and a building or seperate walls that converge, no one displays this technique like you. Your work shows style and that is beyond great photography, that is excellence.

    Best Regards, Steven Bulman"

    "I came into this game with my eyes wide open and was looking at a mountain of a learning curve. When I looked around in the first instance I was looking for photographers local to me. I stumbled upon Brian’s work and recognised places that Joe public would not normally see so I knew he was local. I have always been impressed with the work you see here and the attention to detail that Brian puts to all of his work. He was gracious to give me a lot of time in teaching me some of his wisdom and gave me a good start in the DSLR world. I am grateful for his time and I also enjoy his great sense of humour. Keep up the good work me ol mate, it allows other people to know where they should be heading."

    "Brian is one of my most active commentators on Flickr. Lately I have began to admiire his skills and his post processing of his pictures. Well thought compositions and good tones are some of the qualities of his pictures.
    A visit to his photo-stream is a must for everyone and I encourage all to leave their comments on his stream.

    Keep on shooting and perfect your treatments even further. I'll certainly follow you closely. Cheers my friend!""

    "Brian is a talented photographer, and a master with HDR processing. He can make an everyday scene in to a breathtaking piece of work. He always takes the time to comment on the photographs of others, and has helped and guided me on processing my own pictures.

    More importantly however, he is just a good guy, and I am proud to have him as a contact and flickr friend."
