Abby Lanes' photostream Pro User |
Once upon a time, long ago and faraway, there was a world without digital photography, the internet, or flickr.

With their camera, and a roll of film in hand, photographers lived a life of quiet solitude, processing their photos in darkrooms, and.sharing them with their beloved kitty cats.

Magically, one day, that world vanished!

Those olden days are but faded memories...

Now flickr unites kindred spirits worldwide...

...In their quest, to take, and share, the perfect photograph!

If you've found flickr, and bothered to read this profile page, you're likely a kindred spirit. I hope my photographs convey the joy I feel taking them...

And may you live happily ever after on Flickr!

About me:
Photographer, Gardener, and Artist. Life takes on another dimension for me through a camera. Photography allows me the opportunity to share the beauty that I see in this world.
Photographer Dorthea Lange said, "Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still."
Enjoy my "stills" and I wish you a happy, creative, and beautiful life.

"Abby has been one of my flickr friends for quite a while now, so I thought it's definitely time I wrote her a testimonial :) Her colorful and creative stream was what first caught my eye. Over time, I've seen that her flower pictures are always beautiful and flawless, and anything else she tries with textures or photoshopping always seems to work too! She really knows what she's doing, and the artwork that she produces never disappoints! And now we share a common bond through the All I Need Is A Moment group also :) Even those impromptu shots always turn out so well! Abby, you've become so successful on flickr and it's easy to see why. Keep shooting, I can't wait to see what you capture next!

"Miss Abby Lanes is such an inspiration to so many photographers all accross Flickr. I first ran in to Abbys stream when I joined one of her groups. Not only are her photographs amazing, inspirational, and filled with love, but she is also a fabulous group moderater. I love Abby's groups so much that I think I've joined just about all of them!
Abby's ability to take photographs that carry a sense of heart in them will never stop inspiring me!
Thank you Abby Lanes!"12th May, 2009

" This is a long overdue testimonial I have wanted to write and just now getting to! I came across Abby's photostream one day when I entered one of her groups Whispery White Wednesdays. I clicked on to her photostream and just fell in love with her style and talent for capturing the simple beautiful of life itself in her still life images and gorgeous flower shots. She has a hint of french country flare to some of her images..I just love that!! She is amazingly talented with her processing work and so generous to create and share some fantastic textures. Once you look at her photostream you will surely be as inspired as I was.
Abby...I look forward to more of your creativity. Keep up the exceptional work. You are a daily inspiration. Thank you!!"22nd April, 2009

"A visit to the site of Abby Lanes is like entering the gates of a magic kingdom ~ which is an appropiate analogy, as Abby, the photographer is a great fan of Disney; vividly evident by her magical captures in Disneyland, CA, and various creative tributes to the legendary animation studio, that sparkle throughout her site.
Abby's site glitters with positive energy , hope and happiness; and shines with the sunshine of her Southern Californian state home ~ which is what first attracted me to her Flickr site. I just love her wonderful and intriguing shots of Californian flora and fauna ~ she conveys sheer artistry, an acute and sensitive eye for details - amidst poetic atmospheres. She is a great photographer ~ but I would go further to say that her vision and ideas reveal her as a great artist.
Anyone who is fortunate enough to have Abby visit their site will know that when she leaves a comment, it is like she has gently placed one of her flowers; such sensitive , thoughtful and kind words that she leaves (along with her beautiful smile).
I feel honoured & touched to call Abby a friend..."Thank you Abby, God bless you!" ~Sincerely, Stephen, London, UK"11th January, 2009

Everything from beautiful flowers, to amazing Disney details, to fabulous colors, delicious bokeh, natural light and an unbelievable eye for composition, Abby has got it all. And on top of it all she's a great Flickr friend and an all around wonderful soul!

"What I can say about Abby Lanes?
First, her photo are absolutely fabulous. Everyone can certify it. Flickr must give her a premium account honoris causa, because she actually deserves it. She gives the possibility of dreaming her beautiful city to me and to anyone who never seen it. She shares her annual card for Disneyland with whole web community. (I saw her disney theme photo before join flickr). I appreciate her description almost as the photos, because I can know more about the subjects.
So I officially ask Abby to share more Abbyness with us."13th November, 2008

"I've had the privilege of
first "meeting" Abby through
flickr and one of the many
groups - "Shades of Inspiration".
Abby is a gentle breeze of
inspiration! She is kind and
creative. She is also as bright
as sunshine - bringing a steady
stream of genuine warmth and
enthusiasm through her photography.
~ Keep growing and shining, Abby!"5th October, 2008
