carkins' photostream |

Enthusiastic owner of Canon Rebel as of late November of 2005. Having a ball - definitely addicted to this new hobby!
Living in upper end of East Tennessee in Kingsport (Eastman Chemical Company), which is close to Johnson City (East TN State University) and Bristol (Bristol International Raceway).
Not only are folks' photos fun / interesting/ imaginative to view - many are good teaching examples. And friends made through Flickr are appreciated and an enhancement to my life! From different parts of the world even!

"Carol is a wonderfully warm person with an excellent eye for landscape photography. I am proud to count her as a contact and a friend. Her photostream will not disappoint you, and she just keeps getting better and better."

"a777thunder has spoken eloquently to her personality so I'll speak to her photography. You won't find the glitzy and spectacular in Carol's photos. What you will find and what I get every time I visit her local streams and landscapes through her photos, is a sense of the beauty and and love of her homeland that she so obviously sees and shares with us. Nothing is going to blow you out of the water here (well, maybe once in a while ;)) but if you spend time with her pictures, you will feel like you have stepped out of the rush and stress of your daily life and entered a more peaceful, serene place. Not too shabby. Thanks, carkins."

" I have known Carol (carkins) for some time now, we exchange ideas and techniques and Carol has been a supportive and tolerant friend ( having to put up with some of my views).
I have noticed the helping hand, that she does not hesitate to extend, to anyone that needs encouragement.. ( Carol has an uncanny knack of searching these out)
Carol is a bit of a quiet achiever, she won't beat her own drum so I will!
Being a Christian Carol carries the new commandment that Jesus brought to the world.
" to Love one and other. for as I have loved you, so you will also love one and other:" John 13:34-35
Carol has a love of children shown in her tending a flock of youngsters at her Church and also with her work in the Juvenile Courts where she lives..
To sum up the encouragement and time that Carol is prepared to extend to other people in her busy life style.
The time out that Carol takes to smell the roses as she passes as well as recording, with an innate artistic ability, those scene's of beauty with her trusty Canon.
All these factors build up to portray an individual of high ethical standards, a loving nature, a good sense of humour and most of all a natural ability to see with a photographers eyes.
If Carol joins your group or makes you a contact, feel blessed.
I thank Carol for the encouragement and help that she has extended to me and the world would be a MORE ( it is already) beautiful place if there were more people like Carol (carkins) around.
