choppyRocks…offline for now's photostream  

Initially, I learned photography from my other passion, diving. I started to dabble with land photography in 2010 from the endless resources available from the internet, courtesy of kind souls who share their techniques and styles, which subsequently led me to Flickr. Joining Flickr took me some time and courage because the standard of the photos here are incredibly high. Your photos and techniques have inspired me on this incredible journey, so thank you to all of you!

A special thanks go out to all my beautiful contacts and Flickeroos who've taken the trouble to comment. I treasure your friendship and what you taught me from your beautiful photostreams!

My Flickr attitude:
1. I'm very sincere with my comments, I tend to write what I feel, and because of that, I will reciprocate if you're looking to forge friendship and to learn from each other. Feel free to ask if you're interested in a particular photo or my resources.

2. If I'm invited to post my photo to your group, I'm honoured but please do not expect me to join your group automatically. Similar to my contacts, I like to keep my number manageable to remain active.

3. Please stay away if:
- you are anonymous or do not have an earnest photostream. I will block you.

- you are one who disrespects copyright laws and snitch photos without permission. My images are copyrighted and not to be used in any way without my consent and that includes links and blogs to websites, such as Tumblr. I thank those who have asked me…..
