Hello my Flickr friends and contacts or contacts to be or maybe even friends to be.....

Let me just say a little something real personal about myself...kind of an ice breaker.... I'm a recovered addict and alcoholic....a few years ago a friend of mine lent me one of his cameras......and from the 1st click I knew that I had found a healthy addiction......so everyday I have gratitude to my Higher Power for giving me a last chance and to be able to see it through a lens..... how cool is that... 8-)

And now I have a camera of my very own... Canon 50D...ahhh the gifts of sobriety just never cease....

Enjoy the site....I just love going to Flickr everyday and travel the world.....

God bless....

Marty L

Oh....P.S.... I am from Ottawa, but I've been living in North Bay Ont..Canada....a small northern city of about 50k people....it's about 5 hr drive north from either Ottawa or Toronto...so if ever one of you are coming this way...please let me know and we can do a shoot together......

Have a great day.... ;-)

P.S....I don't mind if you fave my pics....but a comment now and again would be appreciated....if not I will block you...and I so hate doing that...ok...

    "I am so glad that I have gotten to know Marty. He has a unique way at looking at things, he is sensitive, funny, always interesting, and really sees things as they are, you can feel his passion for photography and he also has a way with words, always tells a little tale with every photo and makes it so interesting that you can't wait for his next shot and story!!!! He has a real love for nature and it shows in his work. I am proud to call Marty a friend!"

    "I am so honored to have the opportunity to write a little something about Marty. I have only been a flickr bud with Marty for a very short time, but I think his work and creativity has struck a chord with me unlike any other photographer I have stumbled across. Marty achieves what I think is the essence of photography. He captures the story. He not only photographs with amazing talent, but with the emotion that the picture deserves. When I look at his photos, I feel like I have met the person, or visited the location. That is is so important to me, as anyone can simply take a picture.
    In addition, Marty is so complimentary and he truly appreciates the work others do as well. We are all learning, and I am so thankful that I have Marty to share this passion with.
    Thanks, my friend!!!!

    "If I had to describe Marty’s ‘stream with one word it would be: “stunningly original.”

    Oops, that’s two! How about “wonderfully whimsical” . . . hmmm, that’s still two. I’d have to say his work is full of beauty and reverence (this is getting hard!!)

    You see my point: his work is so wonderful, it’s hard to describe. And Marty himself is a photographer with real vision (while I just snap pictures!!). I’ve only been a contact for a short time, but I already love getting messages when Marty puts something new up. I drop whatever I’m doing to check out his new upload --much to the chagrin of my business partner!!

    So take a spin through Marty’s gorgeous shots and let him help you enjoy life as much as he so obviously does."
