DoubleGrande's photostream

SetsGalleriesTagsPeopleArchivesFavoritesProfile

I tinker with databases and web sites by day and play on flickr by night.

I got hooked on flickr after the 4th of July 2005 and wound up getting a little Nikon Coolpix 5900 to carry around all the time. A few thousand shutter clicks later I decided it was time to upgrade to a dSLR and recover the use of all my old film lenses.

I didn't think it would get to be more fun, but now I'm enjoying photography even more with my Pentax *ist DL.

The end results may not be that great, but I love the way that carrying around a camera changes the way I look at the world.

"Following your sets is like spending the whole day with you - a more than pleasant experience!"

First Contact says:

"He's never thrown peanuts at me, but one time he'd changed his icon to mine for a couple of days. "Oh, it's only DG", I had replied to all the concerned flickrmailers. You see, he's cute in that way! He brings life to any flickr group he's in.

On that note, I swear it wasn't me who booted him from his favourite group. I adore his chit chatting too much and have even gone as far as actually speaking to him through the computer. He sounds a little like Stephen Hawking.

With his photos, it might seem like he's trying for some kind of record - The Biggest Photostream Ever! Or, The photostream that most looks like a Discovery Channel Documentary (which, btw, I'm a huge fan of).

I once spent time browsing every single photo in his entire stream. I did this non-stop but didn't finish until a week later ;-) It felt like I'd just vacationed in a nice part of his world and I wouldn't have minded staying a little longer."

"The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice.--R,D, Lange.

DoubleGrande notices with a wonderful range. From insects perched on flowers blazing with beauty and color to buildings soaring into the sky, he notices. He is Earthlover in the Great Entertainment and he shares his gift of seeing with us all---and the gift of humor adds to the fun! Thank you DoubleGrande for increasing the range of noticing,"

"Double Grande has often thrown me peanuts when I rattle my cage. I'll never forget him for it.
Check out his pics for strolls through Western Washington."
