OctaviusPie's photostream
|
I begun my obsessive passion that is photography in 2005 following the encouragment of fellow Flickr member Melmoth. This quickly moved on from camera phone image to a digital point and shoot and eventualy the world of DSLR.
My photostream documents my progress as a photographer from when I started in 2005. I love everything about photography and realy enjoy being out there with my camera recording what I see. I especialy love being on a windswept beach on a stormy day waiting to grab that piece of light to make the shot.
Just a note about my photostream. Please feel free to leave comments, constructive or otherwise. However, I am not interested in receiving 'awards' for my pics or large graphics inviting me to a group. I'm happy to receive group invites, but just not with some fancy graphic attached. Thank you :-)
In the main I am happy :-)
Remember it is all about the light!!

Melmoth the Wanderer says:
"I have often wept when looking at Octavius's photos. It may be due to conjunctivitus, or it may be due to the quality of his photos, which are unique. His personality shines through the charming, informative, witty and urbane photos he takes of life in Enfield. It is not true, as some detractors say, that he is a drunken sot, pot head, and workshy chancer. All who know him love him. And he has a great deal of special man-love to give in return. We shall not see his like again."
