I live on a farm in Eastern North Carolina near the ocean. That would be the Atlantic Ocean.
I was a broadcast reporter and anchor for more than 30 years which means I know a little something about a lot of things but not enough about anything.
Most of my shots are of things and scenes here on the farm: things we grow on the farm, like flowers, and things I wish we didn’t grow on the farm like weeds.
The texture movement which has swept flickr does not interest me. Neither does the hdr thing. I do try to appreciate the talent involved in each.
I am addicted to light and color: Front light, side light, back light, spotlight, refracted light, diffused light. And, color. I set all my cameras to “Vivid”. If you are here to razz me about the bold color in my shots, Save your energy.
I still shoot film but I am almost all digital now. I still think film is better in some respects.
I shoot Nikon Cameras: Nikon D90, D40x, D40 and Nikon FM (analog). Lenses: Nikon 18-200VR, Nikon 50mm, Nikon 28mm, Nikon 100mm, Sigma 10-20mm, Sigma 70-300mm.
I am open to new contacts but those who don’t visit my site will be excommunicated.
If you Steal my pictures, I will bomb your house.
Many of my pictures are available as prints. Please visit my site at Redbubble:
www.redbubble.com/people/tisdale53.
Thank you for your visit.

"tisdale53 is an excellent photographer with a wonderful photostream full of beautiful images of nature, his family, and his darling cat, Henry Morgan. His macros especially are breathtaking.
Very warm, optimistic photos that make you smile and brighten your day.
In addition, he's supportive of people like me, just getting into this. I look forward to his comments.
I'm very happy to have him as one of my contacts and I value his opinions on my own photography."14th September, 2008
