About mtsofan  

I've decided that I practice "photography by observation." I simply carry my camera wherever I go, and take pictures of what I notice. Things that are funny or beautiful, interesting or disturbing. I'm not a professional photographer, nor do I aspire to be. So, I'm not into posing people or setting up studio lighting for still life photography -- although I admire those approaches.

I got involved with Flickr because of Project 365, which I used as a mini-journal. I took pictures of what I'd notice, and reflect on them. As a pastor, both words and visual media are the tools of my trade, and personal reflection is a never-ending process.

I also enjoy Flickr because it gives me the opportunity to have friendships online. The folks I've met seem to be balanced. Not the hormonal teenagers that populate the other site to which I post, (though I am not a prude!), and not overly-serious critics (though I appreciate advice!). Balance.

I'm here every day. Feel free to say hi.

I'm Male and Taken.
