Livesey Photography's photostream  

So, here we are on Flickr, reaching out to all of the beautiful, talented folk of the globe, listening to other voices while trying to make our own heard.

We're a duet, although halved right now due to time, distance and the quasi-fascist internal mechanisms of the US Army, so the most recent photos are all from the UK wing of 'Andrew & Becky'. We have our day jobs (nursing and soldiering [soon to be soldier-nurse?], respectively) and take photos whenever the urge, inclination, occasion or whatever takes us. We'd like to make it a living though. Maybe. We'll see.

We shoot digital, manual focus, film, new, vintage, in date, expired, macro, wide angle, standard, telephoto, colour, black and white.... People, objects, views, feelings, events, emotions....

Most of our photos are of our children, but you'll only see most of those if we trust you enough. They're beautiful, photogenic little people and they make great models, so hell, why not take advantage, right?

We've never used a studio, never taken a lesson and never use Photoshop. Digital images may be edited for noise, exposure or crop, but no trickery or manipulation. It's cool if you do that sort of thing, but we don't like it ourselves.
