Mc Shutter's photostream |
Age 65, retired (due to disability) from 30+ years with major metro newspaper.
My photos here, from October 2005 to February 2006, are all scanned from my old film prints.
Canon A1 (35mm SLR) currently in storage so I wouldn't be tempted to spend money on film & processing while saving up (on limited income) to buy a digital camera.
The saving discipline paid off. - On February 8, 2006, I took delivery of a new digicam:
Nikon D70s
18-70mm DX lens
70-300mm ED-AF lens
Love it!
:o)}
I enjoy studying the efforts of others, and always strive to learn from them.
Suggestions welcome and appreciated.
A friend of Bill W.

becky lou says:
"I waited to write this because It's special to me. I wanted to say the right words about Mac. But what I decided to say is that Mac has been such an inspiration to me. Not only the photography but the way he brings such beauty to an ugly World. The way he brings smiles when I don't really feel like smiling. He makes me want to bring beauty into this World and to try to make others smile when their World isn't right or they had a bad day. Not only that, he's got a helluva balcony! He's taught me to look up and down to find the beauty in this World. It's out there and Mac finds a way to show and share it with all of us! I thank you with all of my Heart Mac! =0))"

Steve took it says:
"Mac not only takes technically superior photos, but he always seems to find the absolute perfect perspective from which to capture his subject. I always feel like he sees something special and captures it in things I look at every day, but don't really see it until I see his take. Thanks for that amazing eye!"

Ms Ladyred says:
"As each new day starts I can hardly wait to see what beauty Mac has captured to share with us for the day. His artistry is one of true beauty and quality.
He has my admiration and respect as a fellow photographer. The superior level of photography shown on his Flickr photostream stands as a testament to the power of limitless human imagination.
I am proud to call Mac a friend."9th January, 2007

algo says:
"Mac is the greatest photographer of birds flying or fishing that I have seen. His magic balcony seems to attract the birds, and he wields his camera to magnificent effect. We are so lucky to be able to witness the seemingly never ending stream of masterpieces, including his wonderful skies.
Thank you, Mac, for feasting us with such sumptuous fare."25th December, 2006

"I have just found Mac's photostream and am almost speechless with the beauty of the images he creates. I have been sitting here with my jaw almost hanging at the diversity of subjects and the skill with which they are presented.
How wonderful to be that talented with both camera and eye. I shall derive much pleasure from poring over old and new images he shares with us all.
Thank you, Mac."19th September, 2006

shirl shootin' life says:
"I wish I had some clever new thing to say as a testimonial about Mac, but I don't know of anything to add that hasn't already been said. The beauty his eye sees and the talent with which he delivers it to us continually makes me gasp out loud, and I so often tease him that I've run out of adjectives because, quite honestly, I have! He is inspiring, and he is a dear friend. I love his wit and his sense of compassion. He has helped me so many times, and I have bent his ear more than once. Somewhere along the line, I just clicked with him and have such admiration and respect for him. He has so often encouraged me with some special comment he makes, and he has made me laugh out loud so many times. My husband will ask me what I'm laughing at, and I'll just say, "Oh, I'm laughing at Mac". It's amazing to me how people find their way into our hearts...people we probably will never meet face-to-face. Mac is one of those people to me and Don. God bless you, my friend!"

"Mac has been a quide and an inspiration. When I connected with him about cameras he gave of his knowledge freely, directing me to information so that I could make a decision. His photographic work is broadly creative and specifically beautiful. My good fortune that Mac was essentially the first person I connected with on Flickr. Now I am on a learning curve that is a joy and an adventure."

"I come to Mac's pictures daily for inspiration. Every time I look at his pictures, whether it's a flower macro or a gull in flight, I feel the need to go out and be a better photographer so I can capture the beauty of the world around me like he does. Thanks for being so kind and supportive. People like you are what makes flickr the community it has become."

"I met Mac one time on flickr help. And for some reason, I got hooked with his wonderful collection when I dared to look at his photostream.
I know I need to learn from the great guys. Wait, I never thought actually that I will spend so much time on this. I was just simply looking for ways to archive my old & current photos.
But with great ones like Mac, I simply got inspired to learn their stuff.
So now, I am one of his followers. And humble enough to follow his lead. I guarantee the greatness of this guy. And don't you ever believe this guy in a sec has retired. He will never be."18th March, 2006

"Mac's photographs are, almost without exception, technically of a very high standard. Added to that, they are artistically pleasing and scientifically informative.
This is coupled with an unassuming personality, making his photostream a delight to behold."12th March, 2006
