I started in May 06. Can't let a weekend go by without seeing through the lens of the camera. I post quite a wide variety of images.

My goals ...
a) to post an image once a day
b) to study your great photos and learn from them
c) to become a better photographer - there's so much to learn

and

I wish to thank all my contacts in Flickr for giving me the priviledge of viewing, and learning as much as I can about photography from studying your photos.

Current Equipment:
Nikon D300 in Oct 09.
Lenses: 18-85mm, 80-400mm Telephoto, 105mm Macro, 50mm 1.4

"For over a year I've enjoyed Gail's photography as she experiements with different subjects and bringing out different aspects of life. One of the things about Gail that I admire is her willingness to offer helpful suggestions. She helped me when I was new on the scene and I truly appreciate her sharing her knowledge.

"Gail's images illustrate quality. She has a great perception which she captures in her images. Besides offering a wide range of subjects well photographed, Gail never ceases to share words of encouragement to other's photostreams. You have constantly inspired me, Gail and I hope you keep doing the same always. Thanks for everything! And continue to decorate your photostream with gorgeous photos!"

"Gail has taught me that If I slow down and look around after taking the obvious shots I'll find many treasures. She has also been a Photoshop mentor and has taught me that even good images can be improved by post-processing. Gail has become a good friend."
