I'm retired and live in Arizona (where I grew up). I really enjoy all the opportunities for photography that surround me and I love to share the beauty of this area of the country. Before we moved here, we lived in the Bay area (Berkeley) for 35 years.
I now use a Canon 7D but also have a Canon 450D (XSi) and a Panasonic DMC-FZ18. Our current household includes 1 dog, 3 cats, 2 cockatiels, 1 mitred conure(Lefty passed Oct 20, 2010 at age 21 years at least) and 1 severe macaw.
In general, as many of my contacts have indicated on their profiles, I would like to have contacts who make comments on my photos every once in a while, as I like to make comments on theirs. So please don't take offense if I don't add everyone as a contact who adds me, especially if you have thousands of contacts. I've decided to block people who just fave pictures without comments and/or have no photos available to me.

I should add:
All my photos are copyrighted. Please do not use any of my photos in any way, shape or form, without my permission! All my photographs are for sale. Contact me if interested. and check out my new blog at www.galevinephotos.wordpress.com

    "Gerri is one of the most talented photographers I have met on Flickr. Her photostream is an adventure in life that should be viewed by everyone. Her amazing work includes stunning shots of nature and Native American culture. Visiting her friends' photostreams almost daily, she provides meaningful comments and feedback. She has certainly encouraged me in my work.. I am pleased and honored to count her as a friend. Gerri truly exemplifies what Flickr is all about, sharing the beauty of this world through her eyes and thoughts."

    "Gerri's sharp eye, insightful brain, and wonderful soul merge with the camera to capture the beauty that is _everywhere_! I am constantly astonished at the variety of subjects that she portrays so magnificently, but I have to say that I'm partial to the special relationship she has with nature. Her imaginative perception and skill with the camera create images that speak to the heart, and visiting her photostream brings constant delight.

    The best instructor I have had on Flickr, by far, would have to be Gerri. Her patience and generous kindness have gone a long way to helping me improve my photography skills. She is always handy with a thoughtful tip or willing to share a considerate comment. If you are lucky enough to count her among your contacts, well done! It is a special privilege to be Gerri's Flickr friend."

    "A journey through galevine2's photostream never fails to bring joy. The excellent images are interesting, varied and imaginative. But above all, her qualities are not only seen from behind the lens. She is a true friend and loyal supporter. Those fortunate enough to include her, amongst their Flickr friends will encounter a wonderful person and true friend."

    "I was happy to have found Gerri as a contact, simply because she is a fellow Arizona resident. However, that has evolved into respect for her photography - and what photography it is!! I will somedays be looking through my contacts photos and all of a sudden this completely outstanding image is there - and it's one of Gerri's. It might possibly be a landscape shot, an animal shot, possibly a rodeo shot, or something that I can't identify until reading about it, but these photos tell stories.
    Gerri always has wonderful comments to make on my photos, too, whether they deserve the praise or not. That's the kind of contact we all should have more of!! :)"
