The Lady of Shalot's photostream  

"I am half sick of shadows"....

"- Hontar: We must work in the world, your eminence. The world is thus.
- Altamirano: No, Señor Hontar. Thus have we made the world... thus have I made it ".
The Mission (1986), by R. Joffé, R. Bolt.

Time is short, interests are many: history, archaeology, art, cinema.... This stream is just a very small sample of my life. There is much more, but this will stay protected out of the web: I am not a fan of the Big Brother, and I do not have to justify myself for that.

PLEASE READ
As you see from the preview Flickr had the awful idea of presenting all our photos in the large format, and visible to everyone, disregarding our own choice about the way of sharing our images, and about who may see or not see them. See the discussion group about it, especially this thread www.flickr.com/groups/newphotopagepreview/discuss/7215762... and you will get an idea of how easy (easier than before) will be for anyone to download your images in the largest size.
I am EXTREMELY annoyed, and I have not the time to take down all my photos and post them back in a smaller format. Therefore, from now on, and until anything changes for the better, I shall keep all my account private, and visible only to a restrict number of friends. I do not plan to add others quite soon, unless I find their stream particularly interesting. So please do not add me to your contact random: I will not reciprocate.

OLD PROFILE:

Disclaimer, for those who think I am sweet:

§ I am NOT glad to find my images as your favorites if you collect only porn or similar. You will be blocked immediately.

§ I am also blocking Flickers who do not have any original photo posted and no words in their profile (unless I know who they are in real life).

§ Please do not post in the "comment box" your last pictures as a mean of advertisement, especially if you are a professional photographer: my stream is not your show-window, use your own stream for that. I have noticed that people who do so are not particularly interested in other people's stream. I do not act this way with my contacts, so if you behave like this you will be blocked.

§ Please do not add me to your contacts if you are not interested in commenting my pictures once in a while (I know we are all busy, don't worry!). If you give me a star I would be very glad if you also leave a couple of words for comment.
I shall block people who add me as a contact only for advertising reasons, and people who "collect contacts" like "friends" on Facebook (how on Earth can you keep track of everyone if you have 2000 or 3000 contacts??)

§ Please do not post invites, especially with huge glitter icons.

§ Finally: I am NOT on Flickr to look for sentimental or sexual adventures. THEREFORE I am not replying to personal questions from people I do not know nothing about. Whoever bothers me in this sense will be blocked.
