Dar's Foto Madness' photostream |
I'm a modest, middle aged broad who absolutely loves taking photos.
I try to make the most out of life and have no problem slowing down and taking the time to really see and appreciate the beauty around me.
I try wherever possible to capture that beauty and share it with others.
Could be described as having an artistic temperament, am stubborn at times, I love to laugh and have fun and I rarely act my age.
I've worked with 'point and shoot' cameras in the past, then worked my way up to a digital slr in the Canon series, and I am currently shooting with the Canon 550D.
I love to experiment and shoot a variety of different subjects and am hoping to find my own particular "niche."
I've met a lot of great people here on flickr, and appreciate the knowledge and friendship they've shared!
Thank you for taking the time to look at my work, and please feel free to provide any comments or feedback.
Anything that will enable me to learn and grow is always appreciated.
Best Regards,
Dar
