I have had no formal photography training, other than what I have managed to retain from my art school. Photography, for me, it is a learn as you go process.
At the moment I am learning to use the camera and see what it can do; and most important of all what I can do with it.
My photographs depict things as I see them. I do not tamper with what I see. Occasionally I will move something out of the way in order to get a better shot.
I have seen many many masterpieces on Flickr and they continue to be a valuable source of inspiration for me.
It's really satisfying to receive comments on ones work because it shows that somewhere you are doing something right. Something that is appealing to others. Thanks for the many constructive and inspiring comments left on my photostream.

"Umaru hit Flickr with a bang, with his very first shot reaching #370 in Interestingness. Since then, he has gifted us with his glorious sense of color, composition and texture, whether he is shooting scenes, flowers, birds, mannequins, insects--well, anything! His photostream is a joy to behold. Thank you, Umaru, for being a great inspiration to us with your fine photographic eye and art."
