Ask me about my icon.

Fifteen most interesting (thank you effpunkt)

The funny thing is I joined flickr so I could comment on the many wonderful pictures I've seen here. If you go through my contacts you'll see some great work by some great people. I didn't even think to post one of mine for the first month. Then I thought my Posts picture, as seen above, needed more exposure. So I've been putting up a shot here and there.

When not taking photos I like to disparage the Nikkor 50mm/1.8 AF (which I owned but gave away) and other Nikon kit lenses.

My first-est comments
on College hazing
on girls in bathrooms
on highway nuttiness
on multitasking
on night shots
on shot spoilers
on recklessness plain and simple
on flickr-isms
on staying out too late
on concentration
on a new toy
on don't even ask how much
on warfy ;)
on connecting the dots
on being supportive
on marriage
on form following function
on sucking up to Noli
on not getting too down
on homage
on last supper
on celebrity
on imitation sincerest form
on not who they say they are
on the rain
on and so to bed

I'm trying to write a testimonial for each one my contacts. So far my favorite (though unapproved) one is, "I have known O. for over ten years though sometimes it seems longer."

All I really need to know I learned from Jdrama!

I'm Male and 42 and Hopeless.

Testimonials (10)

dis_cover_y says:

" I love MR!!! I wrote a testimonial before this, but somehow it got lost...What I would like to tell the world is that Raul is an awesome guy: talented, funny and intelligent. His photos are often accompanied by stories, take your time and read them, they will either make you laugh or cry, but will never leave you indifferent.... and he's quite handsome too : check his icon ;)"

alforque says:

"Raul's recognition of eclectic styles produce an amazing gamut of visual art using varying types of mediums. Some might see genius; but, I see a huge photography nerd with way too much time and unlimited resources available (which, I guess could lead to genius). He adds to the Flickr community with both the great images he posts and the quirky, fun comments he makes."

lefeber says:

"What I love most about Raul's photos is his ability to capture humanity. They tell such stories. They are personal, and yet universal. His descriptions of the photos are half the fun and beauty of them, although you don't get the full story until you read his tags (my favorite being 'not my fault'). He has a unique eye, a great sense of aesthetic, and best of all a great sense of humor. I love the comments he leaves on my photos and I feel honored to be counted as one of his friends on flickr!"

Decca Them Dirty Blues says:

"Raul is the Kakashi Hatake of the Flickrers. Who is Kakashi? Well he's a master ninja with a very advanced technique, he always comes with a move to unsettle his opponents (In fact he has the ability to copy the techniques of his attackers). It's the same for Raul's photography, it punches you in the face but it's always coming from an unexpected direction."

Accuse. says:

"Minorityreport knows everything there is to know about photography. He knows how to capture life, and emotion; and he excels at it. He's sweet, and he knows how to make you feel good about the pictures you took. haha.
he's just a great person ! :)"

SoCalBob says:

"Raul is one of those rare people that we're fortunate enough to meet on Flickr from time to time whose photos are truly from the heart. I was tempted to bloviate on, as I usually do, but that really says it all."

30th August, 2006
ThenAndAgain says:

"Take a look at this guy. Always prepped and ready with a witty comment or two, he's a great guy to shoot photographs with. Taking nothing seriously save for his collection of cameras, there's rarely a dull moment"

8th August, 2006
RainAtDawn says:

"Through his photographs, Raul makes his world come alive for other people - so much feeling goes into every one that they pull you in like a magnet. One of the kindest people I have met on Flickr, anybody would be lucky to have him as a contact or photographer"

"What can I say? It really touched my heart deep when I saw the photos of minorityreport. It means he has a deep sense of feeling for people. I really like it, so much I like his photographs. I'm really glad I found you in Flickr!"
