Procrastinator Extroardinaire. How I completed 2 years of self portraits, I'll never know.

Please don't add me to your contacts or fave my photos if you have nothing available to view on your stream. I will block you.

In the unlikely event that you would like to use one of my photographs in your blog / website or published somewhere else, please ask me, I'll usually only ask for a photo credit. Ta :~)

Please don't post awards / animated flashy things or invites to "post 1 comment / award 10 etc. groups. to photos in my stream and please dont spam to your account in the comments of your photos. by all means add a small link to a relevant photo, but any comments I suspect are automated will be deleted, and I will likely block you. If I want to comment, I will. If I don't comment all my contacts photos, sorry but I probably didn't have time. I do actually have a real life outside of flickr, and do need sleep occasionally :~) It doesn't mean I didn't like you pics :~)

A selection of my favourite photography Quotes:

If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough. - Robert Capa

There are no rules and regulations for perfect composition. If there were we would be able to put all the information into a computer and would come out with a masterpiece. We know that's impossible. You have to compose by the seat of your pants. - Arnold Newman

Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs. - Ansel Adams

One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you'd be stricken blind. - Dorothea Lange

I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see. - Duane Michals

Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera. - Yousuf Karsh

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. - Lewis Hine

There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are. - Ernst Haas

It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary. - David Bailey

I never have taken a picture I've intended. They're always better or worse. - Diane Arbus

There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer. - Ansel Adams
