bawkbawkflapflap's photostream

Well time for an update here. I'm just a photography nut. Strictly in it for the love of sharing photos of the world around us. My love of photography has exponentially grown since joining Flickr less than a year ago. Being able to share my photos and enjoy the photos of others really makes my world go around. I'm always trying to improve my skills and would love your comments including constructive criticisms.
This is a list of equipment I currently use
Canon EOS 40D
Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM
Canon EF 100-400mm f/4-5.6 L IS USM
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50
Raynox DCR-250 Macro clip on
12" Sunpack tripod
72" Sears Tripod
Lowepro Fastpack 350
And my first 35mm camera which was made by Pentex for Sears
KS500 full manual flim camera
Sears Prime f/2 50mm (Pentex)
Albinar f/4.5 80-205mm
Vivitar 2X converter (Thats funny now that I see it. I was shooting at 400mm with no IS back in my high school days.)
Another very important item Icebreakers mints. A must have for any occasion.

"I have only been a contact of Bawk's for a few months now but he has some of the most amazing nature shots! His work is just awesome and very impressive to look at. I always get a laugh out of something he has in his photostream weather it is a facial expression on an animal he has captured or a funny caption he has added to one of his shots. Keep up the good work bawkbawkflapflap...."

"Talk about a helpful person...Rick goes out of his way to help you out, give tips, tell you where he finds his wildlife and is just an all around great guy with a fun sense of humor. I've watched Rick's photostream for a long time and he continues to get better and top himself over and over again, he really puts his all into his photography and it shows!"
