I have been a film person for 40 years and still have bags of Nikon bodies and lenses, a black and white darkroom and now a renewed passion for photography with my new Nikon D80. A lot to learn about the camera but it is a whole lot of fun. I was in middle management, taught high school, did sales and did wedding photography as a sidelight and now I own my own business. I have a wide range of interests...I like classic still lifes, abstracts, romantic lanscapes, close-up and macro, portraits, detail shots with dynamic composition and colors that scream at the viewer. I look at some very mundane scenes and objects but always find some element, however small and obscure that will make a good image. Good images should be stimulating...making you think, wonder, ponder, reminiscence, laugh or cry...Thanks for visiting...

Olga Gerrard (reeling in miracles) says:
"Finsmal’s stream offers us a gallery wherein we can lose ourselves – gazing into myriad images, be they abstractions or representational. I have found at times I have spent nearly an hour looking through works and yet not even left a comment – the art speaks over the FLICKR obligation to fave and comment. There is SO much inspirational work here, and I shan’t keep you from venturing forth by continuing to wax rhapsodic. This is a true and pure artist, and I am honored to see and be seen by him."

"Even to upload the sheer number of images that Mike has takes some kind of super-dedication in itself!
And so many are highly selective visions - innovative. Yet the author demonstrates appropriate learned awareness (and is declarative - recognising that there really is nothing totally new under the sun) of his diverse roots in the modern history of the picture.
This is a truly amazing prodigious and prolific talent! Salute!"28th March, 2008

Sue Salem / LightShapeColor says:
"Mike was one of my earliest "finds" on flickr, the first photos where I exclaimed "wow!", the first photographer that opened my eyes to my own world a little wider.
Mike truly has an artist's eye and passion, offering us nearly daily gifts of color, texture & composition. Whether his subject is graffiti on a boxcar, an urban street surface, abstracted flower, or a shiny car... he consistenly and thoughtfully stays true to his style and vision, regardless of how many people happen to see a particular shot or how many "awards" have been handed out.
Thanks, Mike for your inspiring work, sense of humor, and prolific stream of artistry!"11th June, 2007

Titanik says:
"I like your pictures so much. There is so many I like that I could say too many often: beautiful, nice shot, wow! I begin to be speechless (no, no, I'm not bored) about what I see.
So... I prefer to offer you a testimonial to say that I appreciate your work. By the way, sorry for my english. I hope you understood what I meant!"6th March, 2007
