Tom 1962's photostream  

Time Sure does fly. I see now that photos of all types are subject to ones view of what a photo or a photograph should be. I shoot because I love to get out and see new things and share them with anyone who may have an interest.
I shoot mostly 99% freehand and use different lenses and a couple cameras. I find I am always learning and enjoy that part of photography as well.
Maybe I should delete some of the older profile stuff , but heck I often wonder if anyone ever really looks at it anyway.
Hope you enjoy what I do shoot as I enjoy so many of your photo streams. As always feel free to contact me. Until next time... : ) Date 8/31/2011

Hi All
Flickr is changing and some things are good and some well. I also like to use the flock browser..
You are also free to IM me...twm8@hotmail.com to add to windows live or e-mail if you like though I don't check that one often..
Now I look at a lot of photo streams and I'm finding more and more do not let you leave comments..
Now I know you folks must have your reasons but I find it a shame that things have come to this....

Oh well keep posting it's fun to look anyway, and comment where you can... : )

Hi Guys time to ad a bit up top it says 3 grandson's now if you follow my stream you know there are 4. Please know that I will comment and return comments as often as possible. I have also started to get some IM's from friends, and I am happy to IM . sometimes I may not get back to you as soon as I'd like but I will as soon as I can.
As always thanks for taking the time to look at my stream and thank you for your comments..

Take care talk soon... Tom



Lately I find some people here on flickr have added me as a contact. Please understand I have no interest in viewing web PORN. If I wanted I would go on the web and find it myself.

I have many friends and contacts here on flickr and I enjoy their photo streams. Please understand I am not against nudity. I can tell the difference between family streams and web porn. A child splashing in a pool in the back yard with or without clothes is different from a site of just plain nudity for nudity sake.

So please if you’re just out to add people to your Porn stream. DO NOT ADD ME.

If you’re a person who enjoys sharing your life with others, as I do, then please feel free to add me and I in turn will do the same.


** This is a thank you to all my friends and contacts, I have just topped over 20,000 views, and I truly enjoy your comments. **

Time to say Hi once more, I have dropped out of a couple groups. Not because they are bad groups, just I have not added much to them and a couple had just to many rules.
That said I joined a couple more and will do what I can to add photos.
Thanks once more to everyone for your comments.. : )

Friends I have not been posting as much as I would like these last few weeks. Weather played a role for a few days, I want to thank any and all for your comments.

I hope to catch up on all your wonderful photo streams within the next few days and leave some well deserved comments.



I’m hopefully in the next few weeks while we wait for the really nice weather, to do some house keeping on my flickr account. I would like to work on collections and my sets and clean up the tags some. Also I will go through my friends list, I think anyone who has not posted in say six to eight months I may remove. Only because it will help clean things up a bit and make some room for some new friends. I may also wean out some groups, I enjoy the groups but I feel I can not give the time they deserve.



I want to thank you all for your friendship and I welcome any new folks as well, I look forward to all your comments and I shell do my best to comment as well.



Thanks Tom1962

Update:
Just wanted to let folks know, I'm still here and I will do my best to comment and respond to comments. As the contact list grows and the way flickr works (being you have to keep looking as recent activity on your stream) I may miss a comment. Please do not feel slighted if I do not respond or if I respond days later.
I do appreciate all comments made and I will do my best to view all your streams and leave good comments. If you post something that you would like me to see and feel I may miss it feel free to drop me a line...

Thanks Tom1962

Once again I thought I should ad a little UPDATE , My 5th Grand child was born this week on the 1st, a little girl this time : ) I still post on flickr often as you can see. I have many contacts ,some became contacts years ago, but have not posted in months. I keep them on my list just encase they may post again one day.
Always glad to have new contacts, Just please do not be an internet porn poster , or steal anyone else's work other then that I'm pretty open.
Hope to get to know you on flickr and I do have facebook as well... : )
