I have been a member of Flickr for years, but haven't taken advantage of it's resources until recently.
I am retired and live in a suburb of Vancouver, B.C., CANADA.
For many years, I have always been the one in the group with a camera, usually a point and shoot, recording our progress in time.
They may not be worthy of awards, but my photos of the past are very meaningful to me and the people in my life.
I shunned my old 35mm SLR in the past for an Olympus Stylus 35mm that was easy to pack on hikes and backpacking trips.
I went digital years ago, and have now come full circle back to SLR... this time digital.
I know it's the photographer and NOT the camera that counts, but I love some of the results I am getting with my new equipment.
I am just learning the craft and I have much more to learn.
I am finding I love vivid colours and dramatic contrasts in B&W! Nothing subtle for me! :-)
There are many talented photographers on Flickr ... Thank you for your inspiration.
I have some Flickr heroes that I follow regularly for inspiration. If they have a gazillion comments, I might not comment but I find inspiration and may favorite their work.
If I find someone with good work that may have fewer comments, I will try to comment to encourage them as others have encouraged me.

You views and comments are greatly appreciated.
