real contact with people (be it serious or in good humour).

I welcome...
constructive criticism on my photos.

I want...
a better and more just world (equal opportunities for all!);

Textual invites only and NO awards please!

Please don't invite my photos to groups or give awards by pasting pictures and ugly code in bold type in this stream. A regular text invitation will be read happily. I appreciate the intention and might even come and join, but I have a slight aversion to the graphic noise many groups spread.

If you do I will probably delete the invite or award. Sorry.

About adding me as a contact
Because I like to be in touch with the people who are my contact, I try not to gather too many of them. I simply don't have enough time. If you add me and I don't do the same, please don't take it personally. It's just me.

About faving my pics
I'd be much obliged if you do!
However, if you do without sharing any photos yourself or if your collection of faves is mainly made up of bodyparts or looks like you're about to make a book of other people's pics, count me out and I will most likely block you.

Ask me.
Do not use any of them without permission!

These books have changed my life or at least made a deap impression somehow:

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - Robert M. Pirsig
Because of this book I did indeed take lessons and get my licence. Also it helped change my thinking and viewing of the world.

The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle
It helped me realize how much I was stuck to some convictions about myself, it helped me to further open my eyes and becoming a more aware person.

The Road Less Travelled A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth - M. Scott Peck
This is a classic book, written in 1978, but still up to date. It teaches refreshing, and confrontational, lessons on love, and life. It has helped me to live a more meaningful life, being more honest and open to myself and others.

Check out everyone's work at the Utatan (I am participating as well).

    "These words about Lucy are long over due. Where to begin.
    I can't remember how we found eachother and how long ago (I think what triggered it was that we both live in Fryslân), but it seems like Lucy has been part of my Flickr experience forever because she has made a real impact on my photography and daily life.
    Her work is excellent, I say on purpose 'work' because it exceeds the regular photo's we see so much around here. Her concepts are strong and clear and always made visible in a way that is understood. Lucy is an inspiration to me because of the way she sees the world around her and tells stories in single shots. I admire her creativity and abilty to bring her message across to her viewers.
    I felt a strong connection right from the start and was happy when we met in person to learn that Lucy is a warm and tender woman in real life too. She and her partner Cas live in a beautiful corner of our province and own two sweet piggies that captured my heart.
    I hope to enjoy Lucy's work and friendship for a long time and look forward to more of her inspiring work.
    Thank you Lucy, you are a gem:-)"

    "Labspics is fabulous. Her work is made with a sheer endless creativity. To me it seems like she sees the world through the eyes of a child with uninhibited fantasy and curiosity. And that is a wonderful quality that I admire. So needless to say that I am a big fan of Labspics."

    "I came across Labspics' stream via a contact, something she had posted for him, and I was touched by her kindness. Since then Ive been playing catch-up at all her exceptional images. She is very witty and extremely talented. Combine that with the creativity and you have a stream to wonder at. I enjoy her self portraits, and was delighted when she joined one of my favourite groups, that I see more of her work. I also enjoy the daily work images, that portray to us her sense of fun and teamwork. Im sure if I met her in real life we would have much to discuss and laugh over."

    "here I found some of the most creative, artistic and imaginative pictures I've ever seen in flickr. This is art, so unique, pure and free... she's constantly looking for different ways of expression that let me know and discover new things and they let me know and discover there's people like her in the world. Thanks for your pictures!!"

    "This woman is so unbelievably creative it's crazy! of course...without her orange cones she is virtually NOTHING. (orange cones which, BTW - she seems to have a very strange and perhaps just a tad kinky relationship....) (Although who am I to question.)
    It's a delight to see her latest creation pop up on my contacts' page @ day...and a delight to share our lives in words.
    Lucy - you're fabulous.
    - and don't let those pigs you live with tell you any different. :)"
