gll. Get yours at bighugelabs.com

I've been photographing people, places, and things on and off since about 1970 (age 13). It's been a long journey from developing B&W in my basement darkroom to my digital SLR.

I have spent much time viewing the photos of others on flickr (daily) and I'm often in awe of the talent. Looking over my favorites, I see a few themes: classic black and white look; classic cars, pretty women; nature, especially flowers and trees; bright colors; and near-abstracts.

Here you can read and see about one of my top photographic role models, Suzanne Szasz.

If you would like to use one for any purpose, I'd be flattered, but please obey the copyright law and seek my permission first, using flickrmail or email me directly at gll@hdfh.com.

I've finally had some photos "Explored" on flickr:
Explore!
1. Iris, 2. Tulips Against Blue Glass. "Walking Around My Neighborhood" 160/365., 3. Magnolia in Heavy Late March Snow, 4. Magnolia, 5. Water, 6. Prairie Grass, 7. Spider Flowers
I've been really enjoying what my 50mm f 1.4 lens can do in terms of bokeh, as these photos show.

    "gll or George as I know him...is a wonderful flickr friend.
    He is kind, offers advice, asks for feedback and more than anything?
    He is truly supportive.

    He gives so much.
    And he asks for little to nothing in return.

    His photography - like him - grows every day - in it's richness and depth.

    George is a dear flickr friend and I am so glad to have met him here and hope to continue knowing him and seeing his art for a long time.

    ;-)"
