My name is Holly and I call myself Spherical Me, here on Flickr.

I love photography and art. I have had a camera in my hands since I was 9 years old. I used to save my allowance to have my black and white photos developed at the drugstore. When I got a little older, I got a 35 mm camera and was hooked from then on. I have my own darkroom and have spent many happy hours in the dark, breathing chemicals. But now since I have a digital camera, the sky is the limit, I'm up out of the basement, and I'm at the computer instead. I love to play with my photographs using Photoshop.

As of March, 2010 I have a brand new Nikon D90....I'm so excited to have a camera with so many functions again!

Thanks for dropping by to see my art and photos, I appreciate your time, your comments and your interest in my work.

I try to keep my contact list and group list small to be able to keep up. I don't want Flickr to be a job, I want it to be fun!

As of July 28, 2010 I have made my past work private. My artwork has been stolen and sold for the last time. I will not make any more work for someone else to make money. I was here for the fun and motivation and interaction with other artists. That has all been taken away by unscrupulous people who have no talent of their own, but make a profit from taking the work of others, removing copyrights, and then calling it their own and reselling it.

    "You will never doubt that Holly is a charming lady and a very talented artist.
    I am writing this now but only as I have just noticed that I had NOT already written a testimonial for her. Well now I will say you deserve recognition, Holly, as you are not only one of the most admired and best in Art, Photography & Digital Work, but one of the best in Flickr to have as a friend.

    Thank you dear, you are so kind !"

    "Holly is a true inspiration to all who attempt to be a digital artist.
    Her manipulated images are so unique that they seem to come from outside her.
    They are truly outstanding.
    She has been a true Flickr friend and has commented on my attempts at digital art and offered many helpful suggestions.
    I am so glad you are back, Holly, and consider me a friend.
    One couldn't ask for more."

    "Holly is a Star in my book! Her photo and digital artistry stood out immediately when she first joined Flickr. I know you will become Spellbound by her Enchanting Talent when you view her photostream. She has the "gift" of being a True Artist. Holly, is an inspiration to me as well as to others. It is a joy and honor to have her friendship. Thank you Holly! Diane"

    "It's funny about Flickr - it's unique in that, we are not just sharing pictures, some of us are sharing ourSELVES - like a big network of Pen Pals...That's such a bonus! ANd though some would think it easy to hide one's true nature behind an e-mail or comment here and there, I think in the long run, a person's true "colors" will shine through. We're all probably a bit "smudgier" in person than we are on Flickr, but I have always perceived Holly to be a kind and honest soul with a tremendous capcity for caring for others - it comes through in her work.

    Her work is unique and beautiful, but that's nothing compared to the beauty of her spirit, which is exceptional.
    She's a treasure - and they are few and far between on the earth.

    Much love,

    Jeri"

    "Absolutely one of the best......
    Holly has a custom made photo and food blender that will dazzle and amaze you. Holly should offer up classes on some of her techniques, I'd be in the front row. Put on your lobster bib and 3-D glasses and sit down with a glass of wine and prepare yourself for a visual feast, you'll be left wanting more and more. If you only have 10 contacts, be sure she's on the top of your list."

    "Dear Holly- my comment is simple. With ALL the fabulous artists I see on flickr- if I had to choose just ONE to follow, it would be you!
    You have inspired me over and over and over. I believe I am growing as a digital artist in part because of your creativity and skills.
    I will always look for your creations as I know it will make me smile.
    Hugs- Irene:-)"

    "Huzzah Holly is my flickr phubble sister, flickr soul mate, and a mirror of my imagination. She has been steadfast as a contact and feeds me a steady diet of inspiration...
    She also maintains a mystery about her that is hard to describe - yet doesn't need to be solved. Art is her essence as you will see on her stream - be prepared for her magic phubble ride and you won't be disappointed!

    your flickr brother / friend rootzz"

    "Discovering Holly's works of art here on Flickr opened my eyes to what is possible in the world of digital manipulation; they are inspirational. She is a true Master of her craft with boundless imagination and the phenomenal ability to turn her ideas into images of beauty. Her sense of fun shows in her creations.
    She is generous with her encouragement and always willing to share tips on the baffling technicalities - her support of my experimentation and help through the software maze has been invaluable to me. Thank you Hol! :-)"
