I recently took up photography and really don't know anything about it. However, I do know that the image, along with other art, is part of a universal language—I only understand English, but photos supersede this limitation. There is a real humanity about them.
They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.Kurt Vonnegut said that, and I agree.
Here's a quick and convenient way to view my "best" photos. And another.
I have no idea what I'm doing, really.
Advice and criticism is welcomed. It will make me better.
While I appreciate the compliment that is a group invite, I do not enjoy the images in my comments that often accompany the invitation. If you invite or award a photo of mine, please do so without including an image. It just seems tacky and invasive. Thanks.
I can also be found on my blog, Twitter, JPG, Facebook, and www.last.fm/user/hathcock. Add me!
Tamara Paetkau, a lovely person and talented artist, recently left Flickr. Please find her here.
Do not use any of my photos without permission. I might seem nice, but I can certainly go medieval if necessary.

Girl Between says:
"Brian is my favorite photographer. With a perfect eye for nature he captures all the things I cherish in this life. His shots never cease to take my breath away, and I hope this flickr gig doesn't let up anytime soon. Thank you, B, for all of your gorgeous pictures."

Tamara Paetkau says:
"Summer grasses for dreaming, leaf details that make you appreciate the infinite wonder of the natural world around us, seeing the simple beauty in a white bowl...Brian has the ability to capture such a wide range of human experience in so many subjects. Conveying the humanity in a pair of clothespins is no small feat, but Brian's done it.
I knew when ception started calling me T. (bit of an inside joke) that he was a great flickr friend find. Beyond being generous in commenting (which he is), every comment is genuine, and you feel he's really taken the time to look at your photo.
A true flickr gem."1st January, 2007
