Used to work for Ford (hence 'exfordy') until I took early retirement. Hooray!

I was a faithful Canonite until I got my first digital camera - an Olympus C40Z - in 2002 but, as I had a few Canon lenses, I chose Canon for my first DSLR and have stayed with Canon since. My Sony Ericsson K800i takes quite reasonable photos for a phone camera.

For years my photography was limited to recording places we visited but since I found Flickr and the amazing variety of photos from other people I have been enthused to try more frequent and diverse photography.
A change from PC to iMac and Photoshop Elements has had me experimenting more too.

I welcome comments on my photos and endeavour to reciprocate. But I deplore groups which require 'post one / comment five' or, worse, 'post one / award or fave five' especially those which have gaudy flashing group 'award' graphics. (Thankfully I have a Greasemonkey script which changes all these irritants to only text.) A simple meaningful text comment gets lost amidst these and seldom gets a reply from the poster. I have almost stopped commenting where I see these abominations.

I appreciate being asked to add my photo to (most) pools but prefer the invite not to require me to join the group unless I want to.

    ""Sir XF" has a wonderful and seemingly unlimited stream of fabulous pictures from his travels in the finest places all over the world, even when he's not there he always finds something in his archives to post, so he keeps his crowd regularly updated with faces and places from all over the world. He certainly has a great eye to capture wonderful spots, and even the odd everyday trivialities of life look gorgeous on his stream.
    What more to say? He's a Paul McCartney lookalike with a bright mind, delicious wit and entertaining humor - and if all this weren't enough, he gives the most incredible virtual massages and is a faithful and regular commenter on his buddies' pictures as well as in his favorite groups. I feel lucky to be on his contact list!"
