fannybunda's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

Live with my dog, Winnie. Enjoy singing, walking, bike riding, reading, and music in all it's forms. I got a digital camera at the end of January '06 and have gotten really interested in photography. Most of my pictures are taken on dog walks within walking distance of where I live, although some are taken over in SF. I like taking pictures of anything that will stay still long enough--and some things that won't.

Photography is fun. It's a chance to express oneself and be creative in new ways. I like to experiment and try different things. But I also try not to take myself seriously. I am sure that many times I will play the fool--either intentionally or unintentionally. And the chance to risk doing that is part of the fun.

I am celibate but many of my pictures involve nudity, I hope tastefully done. I believe that nudity need not be sexual. It can simply be an expression of the beauty and natural goodness of all creation. All the pictures here are mine--none from the web. And all the pictures are either of me or of people I know, or are candid shots. No models.

I leave most nude pictures public. Since they are flagged, no one sees them that doesn't want to, and I don't believe that nudity is something that must be hidden.

As for age: 68 (updating this is a yearly ritual)

Anyone interested in exchanging friend-status, let me know by designating me as a friend. If you have only pictures from the net, I probably won't add you as a contact because I'm not interested in pictures from the net, but I also won't block you. It also doesn't bother me if you don't have any pictures in your stream. Some people like to take pictures, and some people like to look at them. Where would the former be without the latter?

Re: Fannybunda
My last dog's name was Fanny, and a friend nicknamed her Fannybunda. She was one of a kind.

"Bruce. What can I say about him. If I was to say A brilliant Photographer. Wonderful Flickr friend, Imaginative and so intelligent I`d only be touching the surface of this great man.
His work is inspirational and so beautiful. From the macro flowers to the wide open spaces and now even Fish eyes ! He never stops lol..

Bruce is one of my very first Friends hear on Flickr. If it had not been for him I would have give it all up by now. In those times where I have been low and lonely, Bruce has Lifted and befriended me !

"Bruce produces photos that I find absolutely stunning in a variety of venues: scenic stills, macros, and some of the best people portraits on flickr. Not least is his creative use of himself as a model to produce genuine and innovative poses. Sharing as Bruce does is what make flickr a great experience."

"Bruce and I are divided by a lot of water. A lot of land. Still I feel strange connections: The love! The protest! The envolvement! The Love Of Arts!

Ever since the first time I saw his pictures, I became immenced by the craftmanship of his photos - the artistic beauty that shine out of both his 'documentary' stuff as well as his studies of nature - and himself!

A beautiful person - inside a out - is what is meeting me and greeting me when I study these pages!

And I do it often and with joy - take a pleasurable fare yourself!

And Bruce - keep feeding us - you're a great friend!"

helafun says:

"Here is a beautiful man! There is a spirit that exudes from his visualizations that deeply connects social and physical environments in a wonderfully innovative way. Maneuvering through space with a critical and kind eye, he illustratively wanders (and wonders) gracefully through an everydayness of a life worth joyfully living. Challenge and success, inside and outside, all around a thinking and feeling soul..."
