Was retired. Now back in action as a Private Detective. my logo is me as I look now in real time.

My Photos.
I dont do much editing.I will cut and maby brighten the photo if I feel its to dark. What I take, you usually get.I feel if I play to much with the photo image, I damage the natural beauty of the subject. I have prooved it with my photo of boats and birds, in my photo stream. I jazzed it up and people loved it. what the subject lookes at the time dos'ent seem to matter

Of late I have not commented on a lot of my friends photos . All seems to have got out of hand . I have so many lovely contacts now, that it would take me hours to comment on them all. I just dont have the time to do so. I have to streamline my groups and other things to get back to some sort of normality. I am trying to get a P.I business up and running as well. I hope you understand

"Michael has a way with the landscapes, be it sea, be it sky or just the roadside scenery, these all become lively and convey a lot through his lens. His love for his land is palpable through the medium of his photograph. And about his heart, it is large and filled with kindness. Well, I have my ways to know that, though he is a Flickr-friend and i have not met him in person.I'll leave it to Michael to work out how I know it !!"

"Dingbat2005 strikes me as an old-world gentleman, with a keen eye for color and appreciation for beauty in everything. He's also a heck of a gardener, by the looks of things! And kind, kind, kind.

Cheers to him always!"
