Hi there.
I'm just into my 2nd year on Flickr and am having a blast.

To see the world with wide eyed wonderment and to communicate that wonder. That's not just for photography that is my mission in life.

Great photography has one simple key: Tell a story with your picture, but not all of it.

All the photos are taken by me except where credited below the shot.

"I simply cannot believe I haven't done this yet.
Andy, you have given me so much here in Flickr. Inspiration, advice and just general acknoledgement, that I'm here and alive :) I want to thank you for all that.
And I want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing all your wonderful work here in Flickr. I love to look at what you come up with, new or old. Your style is unique and I'm sure it's left its mark on my handiwork too.
I hope I'll be seeing you around these corners for a long time to come, still :) Stay you!

"Andy was my first true flickr-friend, and I'm so glad I found him. I absolutely love him for his unique humour. He is a fantastic storyteller and can turn an ordinary streetscene into a funny story, always cheering up even the raniest day. Besides from that, he also is a fantastic photographer. He has got a great eye for composition and color (which combines perfectly with his outstanding lightroom-skills, hehe). Coming up with new ideas and surprising me every time I visit his stream, Andy is definitely one of my faves on Flickr."

Camera*Girl says:

"I just wanted to let everyone else know how much I love seeing Andy's postings. They can be incredibly fun, laden with puns (which I totally enjoy), show a close relationship with his family, and scream of personality and spunk, but can also bring up more serious, sombering moods which is important and rare

His experimenting with processing is also great to learn from.

I really look up to him in terms of style, creativity and expression!"
