I try to see the world through the eyes of my little granddaughter!!
Her eyes are my buddy icon: she sees everything!

Nature is the origin of art. I hope that some of my pictures can prove this statement. To give nature the honour it deserves, none of my photos are edited.

I love (and try) to capture the beauty of the normal things that surround us.

Untill now I used my real name as "screen name". I am suffering from cancer, and that's why I don't know how long I can enjoy life. This is the reason that I would change my screen-name to "shuttertime"!

Adding you as my contact means, that I appreciate your photos very much!
I am inspired by them.

Recently my daughter -and with her my little granddaughter (see above)- has joined flickr: inkie74.

jessie raga says:

"thank you ed for taking time looking at some of my pictures. i never thought someone like you would appreciate picture/s i have taken. that was actually my first try of my new camera at that time. prior to that i have not taken any formal training in photography. it was like "open the box , switch the camera on and have a good time with the new camera on hand." so, for you to appreciate is an honor for me knowing that you are highly knowledgeable in photography. life has endless time to enjoy. thank you sir."
