Hi there/saludoz thanks for stopping by.

My pics are all more or less straight off the camera, my computer is fairly "stripped out" for speed and I don't have photoshop. I prefer to walk up to the subject rather than crop afterwards.

My interests & contacts are an eclectic bunch there is no specific theme of work I choose from someone. I value people on their own merit I'm not judgemental on where you went to school or what your salary is.
I take loyalty and betrayaI very seriously and if you play it straight with me you'll get a high standard of treatment and I'll be your friend for the long haul. I don't do drama and have a lot of time for people with consistency who keep it real.

I'm a city person and therefore you won't get panoramic country views, I'm limited more or less to urban nature but that is down to work than choice. People interest me I am quite a people-watcher. My sense of humor is quite dry and subtle which will show up in my comments. I'm not in the habit though of shooting my mouth off to a stranger.

People who have stuck by me down the long flickr road are important to me and I miss them if they go AWOL or MIA. I have met contacts in person and on the phone as well.
I'm big on internet privacy so won't be listing my hamster's eye colour here. However to find what is important to a person you generally watch what they are looking at to see what is on their mind. By logical extension you could infer whatever someone points their camera at, will give you a clue to what is important in their eyes.

NB Just a technical note to say that I do not reset my camera's date and time after recharging the batteries, hence the date on the pic may be recorded by Flickr as the camera manufacturing date of 2007.

    "I think i've never talked more with a chiwawa in my whole life.

    John is the only chiwawa which i don't dislike. This is because...well... John, you are not a chiwawa after all. Are you?

    While i would so very much enjoy tikvah's work with a higher end DSLR,i find his pictures very amusing. You see, he doesn't try to show you the technical side of a photographer, but the story behind the picture. As some say "Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.". It doesn't matter if the subject is the most pointless/random occasion of the day or if it's out of range or focus. He will upload it. It is the sensation of freedom,the sense of creativity and the loyalty of a dog mixed all-together. Comment him, and he will always be polite.

    As a flickr contact, i love John.
    Satisfaction guaranteed."

    "JOOOOOOOOOOHHHNN!! \o/
    hahaha
    John is one of my long lasting contacts on flickr!
    I just love his comments... always so witty! ^.^
    once he said I was influencing him on not worrying so much about being silly, I'm still trying to figure if that was a compliment lol
    anyway, it's really good to have him as a friend!
    you have my best wishes and friendship, John!"
