Regin W's photostream

This collection is primarily intended as a resource for and extension of my blogs. I'm not happy with my photography, but then I've been working with a cell phone camera and an amateur model. :)

The collection's secondary purpose is to motivate me to lose weight.

In addition to my Blogger blog, my words can also be found at Regin's WiredJournal. I also have a profile at FetLife. Together they may comprise entirely TMI.

A few words about favorites

Many Flickr users, with some justification, worry about who marks their images as a "favorite", and why. Some have a warning that if the Wrong Kind of User attempts to favorite them, they'll ban 'em. I'm just warning you all now: I think that's silly. "Favorite" is meant as a compliment.

Some nekkidity is sexual, some isn't. I appreciate both kinds, for different reasons.

A few words about flags, friends and contacts

Most of these photos are flagged restricted. At the moment, only Friends may see explicit photos, and only Family may see my undisguised face. Brief pause while you consider whether being one is a curse or a blessing.

(My original intent was that explicit photos would be "restricted", but photos in which you can tell the subject is nekkid yet don't show any naughty bits would be flagged "moderate". This makes perfect sense to me, but apparently not to the Flickr moderators.)

If I make you a contact, it's probably because I admire your images, that simple. Don't feel that you must reciprocate (though I love it when folks do). Don't feel hurt if I don't make you Friend or Family (I have to know you to do that).

By the same token, if you make me a contact (even friend or family) and I don't reciprocate, it's likely because (1) your icon is Mr Blockhead Grey or (2) I went to your photostream and saw "[User] doesn't have anything available to you." What's the point of granting access to an empty photostream?


I am 54, straight and happily married.
