*A polite word about contacts and faves*
If you have added me as a contact and have not left a comment; have "faved" several of my images; have no avatar; have no profile; have no photographs available for my viewing; haven't posted a photograph since 2006; and/or I am one of a kazillion of your contacts
I will block you. That's just how I roll.

That being said ~ hi. :)

I shoot with a couple of Canon DSLR's (a D40 and a Rebel XT), a Nikon S60, a Polaroid, a Holga, an Orbit, a Lomo Fisheye, an Olympus C-750, an Argus 75 (TtV), a Sony Cybershot, a Diana+, five Lensbabies and four optics and the wide angle and telephoto adapters, a slew of Canon lenses, a couple of Sigma lenses and an IPhone.
O, and a panoramic Russian Horizon if I could ever figure the damn thing out.

Just a side note ~
unless otherwise noted - and I don't think you'll find any - every image in my stream is shoot handheld. yup - got an aversion to tripods and i am blessed with steady hands. tripods inhibit my spontaneity. so there ya' go.
handheld rules. :)

    "I can't believe I haven't already written a testimonial for Cindi. She's constantly experimenting, finding new avenues of expression, and showing us new ways of seeing. If you like flowers, Cindi is your gal.
    She's also one of the kindest people at flickr, compassionate, and encouraging. Her personality sparkles through easily into her photoplay. Try a slideshow of her best, or visit "scout" and see her more than 50 photos in explore. It will be a treat."

    "I cannot say enough about Cindi, but I'll try to say a few things that caused me to leave this testimonial.

    She is compassionate.
    She is caring.
    She has a lust for life and all that it has to offer.
    She has a vast amount of talent behind the lens.
    She is selfless.

    Her photography enlightens me, inspires me.
    Make me want to pick up the camera and snap the shutter.

    Thank you, Cindi for all that you give.

    All the best~Craig"

    "Cindi is one of those wonderful souls who make Flickr so much more than a photo sharing site.

    One viewing of her photostream will tell you all you need to know about the superb photo artist that takes world class images. However that would only give you a portion of Cindi's contributions here at Flickr.

    What Cindi does so wonderfully is encourage others through her comments on their photos. She does it often, thoughtfully and with a magical style that makes all of us feel great who've been gifted with her kind remarks.

    Cindi is a marvelous member of this community and we're all very lucky to have her leadership here at Flickr."

    "When in need of inspiration, I need only visit cindi's photostream. Her heartfelt photos reach out with their beauty and whimsy touching the soul. I've thought long about words to describe cindi's incredible talent and find that many have said it better. All that you have read in cindi's testimonials stand with me. cindi is a true talent, whether with the camera or the pen.

    Although I only know cindi through flickr, as one of my first contacts, it is obvious to me that she is a caring person. A person that I am pleased to call friend and I would like to meet for an enjoyable afternoon of tea and talk.

    The Flickr community and my world have been enriched by cindi's caring words and her beautiful, fun and inspiring photos. Thank you, cindi, for sharing your Snapshots of Life. And yes, Life is Good when viewing your photostream."

    "Though I have not yet met Cindi in person, I can say that she is one of the most wonderful and caring people that I know. Her ability to capture the splendor of life, what she loves, emotions, and the world is amazing, and very inspiring. I can't even count how many times I've gone to her photo-stream and have thought, "WoW".
    I feel truly lucky to have her as a friend, and like a surrogate mother, because she's a beautiful person indeed. :)"

    "When you look through Cindi's photos, you really do get a sense that she cares about you the viewer. It's an intangible quality that a photographer senses from another photographer...Cindi has this quality. Her photographs speak of a desire to please the person who is looking at them...very unselfish and very unlike so many of the so-called "flickr favorites" whose popularity is solely based on narcissistic images. Her comments are always a source of inspiration for me...another indication of Cindi's senitivity to this art form, and I have to thank her for that. Keep up the good work!

    "Cindi is my inspiration. I am always delighted and enchanted with her photos. She has an eye for seeing the most wonderful subjects, colors, angles and interesting details. Every single one of her photos is exceptional.

    But what touches me most about her work is that all her photos have a relection of her beautiful soul and her love of life - her photos are straight from her heart.

    Although I have never met Cindi in person, I know that we could meet at Starbucks this afternoon (chai tea for her, triple tall Americano with room for me) and spend the next hours as if we were old friends. And I hope someday to do just that!"
