I joined Flickr in November 2008 and find that it's an ongoing learning experience and a labour of love! Painting, soapstone sculpture and photography were hobbies for many years and I loved them all, but now I concentrate on digital photography. I have thousands of photos since purchasing my first digital camera, an Olympus C50 (5 MP) but cannot post them all. That first digital camera was such a great camera and I took some of my best photos with it. Years ago I used to both develop my own films and print the Black and White photos, including rolling my own film onto cartridges!

What I love most about Flickr are the wonderful friends that I've made through the many contacts. I am constantly inspired by the photos of others and feel honoured with some of their kind comments. I will continue to strive to take better images. As some of my photos have been picked up by other groups for their own projects, it makes belonging to Flickr all the more worth while. A BIG THANK YOU to all my Flickr Friends for your many kind comments and support.

    blueyescapt (sailing along the Windward Islands) says:

    "I'm not a photographer, so I cannot run technical judgments about the work of my friend Irene, I can only say that I really like her pictures because they are not only beautiful to look at, but especially because they express something.
    I find that the presence of Irene in the circle of Flickr is a great gift for all who visit her beautiful gallery and exchange some impressions with her because she is a lady with a very good and sensitive soul as it is not easy to find in this world full of spite and malice
    Thank you for yor kind friendship dear Irene"
