From 2000 until 2003 I was busy with Internet marketing and had established an online business with several web sites. From 2003 until June of 2006 I was primarily busy with creating jewelry and some - with the most beautiful of gems - opals. Being back online leaves me with almost no time left for the opals and jewelry making. Have too many sites and blogs that are taking most of my time, and the photography is taking lots of my time too... but I LOVE it :)


Now that I started finally with my Doctoral degree study - the time left for Flickr is very limited. And Willem will be uploading my photos just as when I was away. I'll visit your streams probably twice a week and will not be burning night oil from than on - so, no more checking who's made it on Explore for me, except for maybe in the weekend's. Life is too short, and being not the youngest, I have to do it now - or there will not be time enough to enjoy the title after I have it... LOL... so please, wish me luck and rest assured that I will not skip you, my dear Flickr friends...



For the amateur photographers among you that are interested in selling their photos as stock photos - make an account and submit these on StockPhotoPla.Net

Feel also free to submit your sites to the directories we have: www.symbion.org and www.chep2003.org www.thecharityconnection.com and the photography one for your photo sites www.digitalphotographysites.net I am also busy with a site called Kassandra Photography

N.B. - NOTA BENE:

Block heads - with NO buddy icon, and photos on their stream, without a written profile that are Faving photos will be blocked at once. Most of these people simply steal photos, and I am sick and tired of finding photos of mine used online without any credit given to me (at least a link back), and without written permission from me. Beware that if you're one of those thieves - I'll find you... ~!@#$%^&*()!!! Heaven help anyone who challenges me, or questions my intelligence and the ways of finding my stolen photos -- because they'll need it. They can run, but they can't hide. Not forever anyway...

Be also advised that if you only Fave a photo (and you are not listed as a Friend here), without leaving a comment - I'll block you. I really hate comments such as 1 or 2 words: "nice photo", and if you have nothing else to say - than please go without the meaningless cliche`s...

Please, do NOT expect to be listed as a contact just because you listed me. If we share the same interests in photography, and there is a genuine interest in my work - these people will be added because they left comments, faves and are visiting regularly. Reciprocity is the key here. Thank you for your understanding as my time is very limited and I will spend it on people that deserve it.

Most of you know that I am taking care of Taty's account until she gets back. If you need to - contact me via my stream please - - Willem

    "Mi querida amiga,Tatiana,es una refinada fotografa que dispone de un afilado sentido artistico y lo comparte con nosotros,ademas es una compañera muy agradable,siempre dispuesta a echar una mano a los necesitados.Su modestia,compañerismo,es un ejemplo de seguir.Tiene una capacidad extraordinaria de trabajar,dirigiendo varios blogs en internet,y a pesar de todo esto,siempre esta comentando nuestras imagenes con una responsabilidad envidiable.En fotografia,tiene algo especial,una linea con tendencia abstraccionista,que a mi me intriga,y me llena de admiracion,(soy un realista y no puedo pensar en abstraccionismo).Muchas gracias Tatiana,tienes un gran corazon."

    "What I love most about Tatiana’s flickr collection is the diversity in her work. Tatiana beautifully captures everything from portraits to insects, flowers to gemstones, night images to macro and much more. One can never get bored seeing Tatiana’s photostream. Not only does she have such range in her captures, her images are remarkable – diversity coupled with quality images is a rare combination which Tatiana possesses and I for one am very impressed with the entire body of her work.

    So sit down, stay awhile – click through Tatiana’s various sets – I guarantee you’ll have a remarkable visit at Tatiana’s corner of the flickr world.""

    "If your reading this, chances are you just opened Tatiana's profile to find out a bit more about this artist/photographer. Trust the words of the testimonials here for you to read because they are direct and to the point of who and how she is as a contact and friend.
    I am still somewhat new to Flickr, but understand the value of spotting quality among the masses. Tatiana has proven without a doubt that she is genuine and sincere with her comments and spends the time to let you know by writing feedback and inspiring comments about your images, even if they are a little creepy....
    Tatiana is absolutely my good friend here on Flickr & the Netherlands.

    "First and foremost,

    I find her very intelligent... I just love to read her
    interesting comments specially on my pictures as well as
    on other fellow photographers' work.

    Tatiana has got her own style and her creativity is just amazing!

    She definitely got "the eye" for photography and
    you will witness this with your own eyes if you spend some
    time on her stream.

    One thing that is very important for me...

    I just love people who knows how to appreciate.

    Tatiana is one of that people and I am very glad to know her.

    "Tatiana captures all that is around her with grace and clarity. From her caring photos of people to her captures of nature in its pure form, she does it with her all and all. Color is a great part of her photos and she experiments with color to create a kaleidoscope for your eyes. Although I may not understand what they are, they create a joy for me to behold."
