A CHANGE IN MY FLICKR STYLE:
Photography has changed my world, and Flickr has been a very large part of that. I have reached a crossroads and am working towards some new artistic goals that are very challenging for me right now and require all my energies. Until I figure out what I'm doing I plan to still post pix here but probably won't be doing much exchanging of comments.
I'll understand if you remove me from your contacts as a result. I'll pop in and see you all occasionally because you are such an inspiration to me and I want to know what's happening with you.
I'll see you on the other side... ;0)
MY PHOTOGRAPHY CREDO
This world can be an ugly place sometimes, which I've seen more than my share of in my job as a court reporter. I get so much joy from finding the beauty in this world and am discovering the thrill of being able to sometimes capture those images and share them with others. It's an awe-inspiring feeling.... I love viewing other Flickr-ites' photos which elevate and inspire me.
I discovered photography in the early part of 2006 and have lived, eaten and breathed it ever since ;-) I still feel like a "newby" to the photog world, and REALLY appreciate constructive criticism and/or suggestions on my photos. Please don't feel shy about giving them to me -- just be kind about it, of course!
I have surprised myself at finding a new love for beauty through photography. Birds and flowers never interested me before, but now the challenge of getting a pretty image of them fills my days with wonder!

SJMWALLA2 says:
"Synapped is a sweet, kind person. She has a smile that is a big and beautiful as her heart. I met her at an alumni weekend at the high school we both had attended, and have since had her and her husband visit us at our home. Both of them are kind, thoughtful, people.
Synapped's talent for photographing birds is amazing. Her other photos are beautiful as well. Nature doesn't always hold still or pose for us, but she still manages to get those wonderful shots ."20th May, 2008

"I am fairly new to Flickr and I love it.
In nearly all of the pool groups I join, I keep finding Synapped's photos and they are really good. There are quite a few of them already stored in my favourites.
There is quite a variety of subject matter in Synapped's photostream but its landscapes that draw me in. Check out the photo of the Grand Canyon through the artist's window. I literally gasped for breath."21st September, 2007

"Renae
I found her on explore.
After which I spent sometime visiting her pages here.
What I discovered is that she is good in nature; flowers & macro photography.
Each piece is a Master Piece by itself.
To call her a photographer is do her in justice. She is a Visual Communication; Imaging Artist.
Than you for your kindness in sharing; Loving & inspirations to the community.
You are great.
I appreciate it......"7th August, 2007
