Hello!

I'm a docile guy, old-school, Old South. A retired state employee, out early due to disability; born in the '50s. Married for all eternity to the most captivating woman I've ever met.

I'm a former "newsman," i.e., journalist, writer, videographer, photographer, live television director.

Robert the Elder. "He who speaks of film."

I now enjoy snapping photos and trying to create pleasant experiences for us both with a digital camera. :) Sharing my pictures here is strictly a pastime for me -- I'm certainly not in "competition" with anyone! I tend to enjoy architectural and plant-life photography; I rarely ever take pictures of humans!

I'm realistic about my photos, and I know they aren't the same caliber as those produced by most of you with fancy gear and sharply-honed skills! And that's cool. I enjoy most of my pictures, and constantly strive to make them better.

I'm Interested in nice people who exhibit nice photos. If you decide to add me as your contact, please, be aware that I'd like you to stop by from time to time and leave a comment, and in return I will do the same. :) If you don't comment on my photos for a while, then I will assume you are not interested, and I won't bother you with my comments either. :)

I am ...

♦ Inspired by your best photographs
♦ Always interested in your helpful suggestions and comments about my simple images
♦ Typically very, very nice to anyone who demonstrates common courtesy (and even those who don't)
♦ Not into "drama" or angst
♦ A tee-shirt & jeans kind of guy (okay, Polo shirts, too)
♦ More or less an 8-track guy living in an eye-pod world :)

Thank you for kindly reading this, and have a pleasant next few hours. :)

Please, take a moment and read about The Gratitude Campaign.

It illustrates how we can show our gratitude to those who serve without having to buy anything, or donate any time or money, and regardless of our political point of view.

It only takes 2 minutes:

"The Gratitude Campaign"

Thank you.

About me, this quiz-type thing claims:

You Are an Emotional Artist



You're the type of artist who creates because you are moved. It's like it's not even a choice.
Your art is all about expressing yourself, and to be honest, you don't really care about what others think of it.

You are in love with the things that you create. Every piece of art you've made has great meaning to you.

You don't beat yourself up if your art isn't perfect. If you're happy with what it says, then that's all you could ask for.

What Type of Artist Are You?



States in which I've trod. Or slept. Or eaten. Or something. Hey, at least I'm methodical. :)Make yours @ BigHugeLabs.comMake yours @ BigHugeLabs.com

    "Robert is a rare and true gem on Flickr. He has a keen eye for capturing the charm and beauty of his surroundings. He is talented at finding and photographing the quirky aspects of the South as well. Historic buildings or neglected former grocery stores, or even blooms from his garden, his photos tell a story and create a sense of place. His images create a sense of nostalgia, too that is relate-able to all of us. It is a joy to see what catches his eye and how he chooses to capture and present that image.

    His sense of humor is apparent in his photographs and descriptions, too, and is a delight to experience. He doesn't take himself too seriously which is such refreshing quality. Robert is just a genuinely nice person so to know him is to be truly lucky, indeed.

    I encourage you to peruse through his beautiful photostream. You will be delighted and charmed by it."
