Thank you for taking time out of your life to visit mine!

I'm a designer and artist.
I do this, that and the other.
Sometimes all three.
Not at the same time though.

    "Nori is one of the most accepting, reliable, and kind Flickrfriends I have met.
    She is also a great dancer.
    You would be most fortunate to have her as a friend.
    And, so good on the eyes...."

    "Noreen's photos take my breath away. They take me to a place in my head that I don't want to leave. I look forward to seeing every photo she uploads to Flickr! I'd write more, but I want to get back to her photostream to see what she's uploading now!! :oD"

    "Nori's photos are beautiful and interesting. The colors are vivid and natural. As she shoots many of the scenes in the same place I live, I know that she captures natural beauty in a great way. She is quite talented in her handling of various subjects, not only nature but manmade items. I'm always eager to see her newest additions."

    "To me eclecticism is a fine thing, and this collection shows that there is a great appreciation for whatever Nori chooses to put in front of her lens. Perhaps a broad reflection of some good times? Or maybe a suggestion that beauty may be easily found. The etherial nature of these images is out there for all to see, but not many of us do! ......."the forest for the trees", you know.
    I must admit to the pleasure of being present for some of these creations. Like a hungry cat, Nori stalks the scene as though it will be her only food for the week!
    So the next time you see a black cat stalking in a stark, barren field, think of Nori's photographs. She sees things we cannot."

    "nori is a very lovely person, and you can see from the photos of her cats, that she is an animal lover with an eye for beauty, for all flora and fauna.
    i really like the landscape photosgraphs she takes, and the animal photos too. her photostream is full of all the things i love about photoraphy, and i think her work should be appreciated.
    nori is also great fun in the threads, and has a great sense of humour, which is vital in rumour humour."

    "Nori is like the sister I never had. She has an amazing personality and unmatched compassion. You'll never find anyone as smart as her, but at the same time living in a blonde moment! Even though Nori won't let me steal one of her kidneys, I still lover her to pieces, and if she did let me steal one, I would love her IN pieces!
    Nori's photo's are fantastic to say the least. She has a fascinating way of capturing those bug shots I dig so much, and a perfect knack with kitty shots. Her landscapes are perfect, and her people shots superb!"
