Winterwaves' photostream  

Hi, and welcome. My name is Mark.

Why the handle "Winterwaves"? Well, it just popped into my head because I love the way the ocean looks at that time of year. Winter Waves is also the name of an obscure Chris Isaak song. So...there you have it. 'Course, now that I'm in Colorado, the handle may not quite fit anymore, but I'll never stop loving the sea.

I find photography to be a great creative outlet. I find it to be true that a camera is a tool that increases one's ability to see the beauty in one's surroundings even when not using a camera.

Check out Fluidr as an alternate (and, I think, superior) way to see these photos! Or if you use Flickr, press "L" on your keyboard to see the photos in Lightbox mode. They look their best that way.

So...hardly any of my public pics have people in them; what's up with that? Well, I have taken tons of people photos, but none of my family or friends wants those to be publicly displayed on the Net, and I respect their wishes. Guess we're of a different generation than the "document every single second of my life for all to see" Facebook/Twitter crowd!

Critiques are welcome and encouraged! I always like to hear what others like / dislike about my photos, and especially suggestions for improvement. Don't be shy! Please post actual comments rather than GIF images or awards; I want to see what YOU have to say. Thanks!

Enjoy.
