♥ Welcome to our Flickr photos ♥
Hi everyone, My name is Linda. I live, breath & love photography - all kinds of photography from collecting & restoring vintage photos to learning new digital techniques. I’ve been around long enough to have used 120 film, 126 cartridge film, 110 film, disc film, slide film, polaroid, and 35mm film. I’ve also done my share of image transfers and logged countless darkroom hours. I was a reluctant disciple of digital. Now, I’ve seen the light and want to learn more about actions, brushes, textures, tilt shifting, HDR, and doing 360° panoramas.

My husband is also an avid photographer. His primary focus, though, for now, is getting his slides scanned to digital images. He has wonderful eye for delivering great images in a single snap. Where I rely more on the wonders of photoshop to get the right cropping and color.

Our kids have started using a small 3 megapixel camera; it’s perfectly suited for the rigors of tree climbing, biking and taking candid shots of the dog’s butt.

We're a very close knit family and, basically, just enjoy the simple life. When time allows we're also tech geeks and pretty decent bakers. Oh, and we all take _a lot_ of photos. I mean a lot, a lot! I'd show you on FlickrLeech, but the site is no longer active
