terminal orbit's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleArchivesFavoritesProfile

I like visual ways of expression. I like to tell stories, both in words and in photos.
I take photos, I have done so since I've been litlle, since both my parents took photographs.
It's a way of looking at the world. It's a way of experiencing and telling the world.

However, if I look at other pictures on FlickR I often seem to be slightly off what is orthodox imagineering of 'photography'. I don't mind.
I am not an artist, I don't want to 'carve out' a space for me, I like sharing my photos with friends and passers-by.
I also enjoy is seeing other people's stories, views, perspectives and pictures, their "eye on the world".
If you like some of my shots, I'll be happy. Tell me, it's nice to hear that you connected to something.
If you have constructive criticism, I'll be just as happy. A lot of you have knowledge I don't and I'm happy you share it with me.

The day you stop learning, is when your heart and brain stop functioning.

I've seen it on a friend's profile: I did me psychologically.
I'm a benevolent intenvor!
Way-hey.

Even if i have never know you physically, let me tell you i am really thank full of having you as a friend, at least here at flickr! thanks for the opportunity you give me to get close to your life! because i have been witness about the last 4 years!

"Circumnavigating Europe at the drop of that hat he wears; this multi-lingual, big hearted, flickr'r shares his outlook on life, living, his growing family, and his generosity of spirit through his images & commentary.

A longstanding and wise flickr-contact/friend, always entertaining & insightful, questioning & curious. He wears these traits lightly and will no doubt tell me I've been embarrassingly 'over-the-top' with this testimonial, but they are as evident to me as that enormous smile of his.

He probably doesn't realise it, but T.O. makes flickr a far more interesting and wonderful place to hang out at.

Oh and before I forget........

Rooooaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! *snarls* ;)"

"The first tought that came into my mind when I had the luck to look at Martin's photostream was the variety of places. Many places and faces. There is always one face and aye behind the camera. It is Martin's point of view. A wonderful talented aye for people, family. Brave and frank point of view of his world. Martin, a cosmopolitan person. A world's citizen.
Please, don't waist your time reading me. Go travel with Martin's photos. You will be in great company. :D"

"When I see Martin's Picture on my comments, I immediately smile. He is a really good flickr friend. Thanks so much for sharing your world and commenting on my world. Your photos enlighten me to your world around you and that world we all share. :-). If you browse through his photos, you will see bits of Martin throughout. You wont be disappointed if he is your friend. *wink*"
