okbeatnik's photostream |


If I had to refer to myself I'd use the term "amateur hobbyist". I Shoot with a Pentax Kx and K100d . I like Pentax due to the built in shake reduction and vast array of K-Mount options. I travel a lot for work so I take a lot of shots around the country in my free time (what little there is). Always interested in meeting other photographers in the Tulsa Metro area for hints and tips.
I stay pretty busy most of the time. I don't always get the time to thank everyone for their comments but I truly appreciate every comment I get good or bad. I appreciate criticism just as much as praise. Don't be offended if I don't add everyone as a contact that adds me. I try to keep my contacts list small so I can keep up with the photos. I also try to look through every photostream and comment when I can for those that leave me comments.
All my photographs on Flickr are copyrighted. Feel free to contact me first if you would like to use or publish my work. I'm pretty generous in allowing use but you need to ask first.

Wade From Oklahoma says:
"Ben's eye for photography is one to behold. His "77 Counties" project, documenting one photo per Oklahoma county, is witty and original; he highlights the quirky and unexpected without relying on the 20 foot "Muffler Man" landmark. I've also grown to look forward to his photographic documentation of his various travels."
