MY MOST INTERESTING ON BLACK
FLICKR RIVER MOST INTERESTING
My name is Al and I'm a 56-year-old living with my wife in a log cabin. A graduate of the University of Florida, I was a journalist for a Florida daily newspaper for many years, but moved to Information Technology as a Unix specialist late in my career, after helping the newspaper get online. After a liver transplant in 1999 I've learned to appreciate even the smallest things in life. A near-death spiritual experience will do that for you. I am now disabled and living in Tennesee. Thus my Nom De Plume -- Tennessee_Gator. After years out of photography I got back in using the system I left with -- Olympus. Now I'm using a EVOLT E-410 and an E-510 with 4 lenses (Zuicko 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ, Zuicko 40-150mm f/3.5-4.5 EZ Zoom, Zuicko 70-300 4-5.6 and Zuicko 35mm Macro).
Some views of my photos might notice a few PS tutorials I've done, to try and be helpful. I've tried to tag them all tutorial, but I may have forgotten one. You can do a search of click HERE.

AS STEVE JOBS SAY.... Just One More Thing!!
If you favorite any of my photos and don't have a profile filled out, I will block you. If you comment or favorite any of my photos and don't have any photos on flickr and don't have a profile, I will block you.
So it's like this: You can have no photos but a profile and that's OK, but you can't have NO PHOTOS and NO PROFILE. That's for me anyway.
I started doing this when I noticed some favoriting photos of my grandchildren and I couldn't discover who they were, since they lacked everything. THEY WERE BLOCKED.
I now do it with all my photos. I read every comment and check every favorite.

"I always look forward to seeing what Allen is shooting. He lives in the country in Tennessee, so do I, but his perspective on our state challenges my creativity. He is a talented photographer and loving family man who enriches my flickr experience with the photos he shares."

Sammy's Photography says:
"My dad wrote a testimonial for me and I felt I should do the same. Actually, I should have written one first for him. I have old pictures he took when I was young, and I always look at them and think, wow! My dad has taught me a lot of what I know, and it is to him I go when I have a question. My dad is my creative inspiration. I strive to have my photos look as good as his. I have a long way to go still, but I have a phtographer father to learn from. He is a great artist and he can make almost anything look like a masterpiece."
