I am a fan of good photography and love this site and the camaraderie of my fellow photographers. Sadly, I can only devote limited time now. To simplify things, I am pruning my list of contacts to a manageable size. Please don’t be offended if I I remove you. I aim to keep friends with whom I have been fortunate to build a relationship through Flickr, and intend to limit my interaction, mainly because this venue is a real time eater. After all: life does exist outside of Flickr. :-)


All my photos are copyrighted, kindly contact me if you wish to use any of them.

If you favorite one of my photos and have no work of your own posted, along with no profile, I will block you. :-)

    "I consider myself very fortunate to be counted among George's contacts. In the time I have known him, I've grown quite fond of him and his stream. He is a kind, solid, wise man. His knowledge of photography is enriching... He's making my equipment wish list grow day by day!
    He is a man of details and that shows not only on the tiny pieces of life of which we get little glimpses of on his stream, but also on the comments he makes, which are always insightful, well thought, and incredibly eloquent.
    It's a pleasure knowing him. His world is a beautiful world."

    "I am so proud that I have been given the chance of having George as a wonderful friend and contact on flickr. His work is magnificent with such sensitivity and appreciation for life and all it's simple things. I have consulted George numerous times for advice and constructive criticism, and he has always been very kind and helpful.
    I truly admire how George has a way of photographing what is inside him. I believe his photography is a full expression of how he feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, a true expression of what he feels about life in its entirety.
    His photostream contains a collective memory of his world and they move me to feel, think and dream.
    Within his photographs, appears a quality, beauty and style that makes his work well known and undescribeably unique. His style is so recognizeable.
    George has mastered the use of composition, light and shadows along with love, sensitivity, and purely coming to life through his most excellent eye, creative mind and pure talent. A camera in his hands is like a brush in the hands of any famous artist. You will witness a remarkable image. He will show you an ordinary object in a new way.
    I absolutely admire George and consider him a very valuable inspiration and friend."

    "I was thinking of this testimonial for a while. George is a very good friend so I don't take the words lightly. One or the reasons I started to observe his work was the elegance that emanates from so many images that George creates. We both photograph in different ways but we have the respect and understanding for each other. We may not always agree but I value his opinion immensely. By watching him, I'm hoping to learn simple but so classy composition and George is true Master of this craft. Very few people can show everyday objects with such a creativity – find beauty in half used bar of soap and a towel.

    Thank you George for being a wonderful Friend and true Inspiration"

    "George is one of my best friends and a talented photographer! I can say that I owe him a lot as far as my own photography is concerned. He watches my stream with attention and tenderness every day, giving me advice or support. His work is superb and he has among his work true masterpieces! I do appreciate his high key photographs and most of his interior work, where it is obvious the way he has mastered composition and light!"

    "Mr George Bugenis has probably been a brother to me in a past life, so be nice to this gentle man and genious of a photographer, or I will drown you in a Guinness barrel. Might be a good way to die but hey, I'm not all bad. :)"

    My Baby Mia [very busy for few days] says:

    "Xenotar28 has a goal. One
    good picture a day. Nothing more.
    He gives life to simple things we
    ordinarily ignore, and does it with
    simple elegance and perfect
    composition. His still lifes are
    not just pictures, but portraits
    of a state of mind as much as
    of the objects it reveals.

    I most admire his self-portraits.
    They display his knowledge of
    light and composition, and the
    psychology involved in creating
    an image that shows the
    character and personality
    of the individual, in this case,
    himself.

    I am very happy to be his friend
    and student because learning
    from him will take my own work
    to a higher level."
