marty_pinker's photostream
|

In a word, I guess I'm eclectic. I believe I know a little about most things, and I'm interested in virtually everything.
I try to reflect that in the photos I post here.
I'm a serious amateur photographer, and being here on flickr, interacting with lots of amazing photographers from around the world, has definitely helped me improve the standard of my photography.

"Marty is one of the most fun flickr people I've been lucky enough to meet. His sense of humour and kindness are only equaled by his wonderful talent with a camera. Marty's been so supportive, and his words are from the heart. He's the sort of person who makes flickr such a great place to share. Thank you, Marty, for your inspiration, and for your friendship."

Eddie Hales says:
"I know that I should have written this testimonial for my Flickr friend Marty a while ago, but better late than never. I think that Marty was one of my first contacts on Flickr and to this day he continues to impress me with his photographic eye. In an age consumed by technology and the urge to upgrade to new camera models as soon as they hit the market, it is easy to forget what photography is all about. Whether it is urban, landscape, travel, candid or still life Marty has got what it takes to capture these subjects in an impressive manner. He inspires me to look outside the box and to develop the skills to be a better photographer.
Marty is a gentleman and to me he is what a Flickr is all about.
Keep up the good work mate!
Eddie"12th August, 2008

"It's about time I wrote this, as I will not delay any longer telling you what a visual delight and experience it is to view Marty's stream!
Every picture he takes tells a story! Each picture includes the most charming scenes and settings and they dance with color and vibrancy.
It's a real pleasure knowing Marty. I've spent time with him at Flickr meets, coffee and camera meets, and out on photo-shoots. He's a good laugh, a good soul and just a really nice person.
Have a look around his stream, I know you will find much interest and awe in his photos, the places he's been and the way he tells you about it in pictures!"5th July, 2008

George D Thompson says:
"I can't say that all the pictures that Marty takes are masterpieces for the simple reason that I don't see all the pictures that Marty takes ~ but all the pictures that he puts on flickr are masterpieces.
How does he do it?"4th November, 2007

remember moments says:
"Each time, when I visit Marty´s photostream, I feel well.
There is on one side the absence of hectic pace. On the other side I feel that Marty is interested in what he is photographing. That makes his images recreative.
His shots are always a feast for the eyes, in Germany we used to say: Augenweide.
Every pic is full of atmosphere. That is not very often on Flickr. His fantastic portraits are full of warmth and emotion. They are excellent. Like his recent shots of birds.
Marty, I love your images very much. Keep it up."6th October, 2007

"She spent most days in the small shop, selling postcards of the British flag to tourists. No one, and least of all she, could ever have suspected the role that she would play."
