Kim Gowney's photostream |
My Name is Kim, married to Jenny, I am 54 and getting older by the second, I live in Pembrokeshire West Wales UK.
For my bread and butter I clean Windows, Fix stuff and turn wood.
I play golf, enjoy all aspects of Natural History and astronomy, photography is a d great delight, but never moreso than in the digital age.
I also dabble in watercolours but my website needs rebuilding, (soon to be accomplished by my erstwhile son-in-law who wrote my awesome testimony. One day I will return the favour and invent a similar missive of worthiness!:D
If you add me as a contact I am honoured, but please don't be offended if I don't reciprocate as there would be too many for me to keep track of! :D
I also enjoy a good laugh, hence the Chris' testimonial remains, it is nonsense, I love it!
Thanks for reading my profile!

Stefan Elf says:
"Kim is in my humble opinion a master of detail. His macros in particular have caught my attention, and I'm sure they will capture yours too. Pembrokeshire county is such a beautiful place to live and shoot, and I'm looking forward to seeing more wonderful scenes of local bugs, flowers and trees..."

Chris Kellett says:
"Kapeji has overcome great personal and technical difficulties to get his images on-line. Being totally colour blind it is amazing how he captures the very essence of each subject he chooses to shoot.
On balance his sausage sized digits are both a blessing and a curse, on the one hand they give him the ability to climb trees and scale walls but, have made it difficult to use the fiddly controls on his poleroid camera. Hats off to you though you take a decent pic."13th April, 2007
