Zephyrzoo-not around much
these days' photostream
|
The art of photography is fairly new to me, although I have a background and education in painting and drawing. I always used to take a ton of photos with my point and shoots, but now learning about real cameras. Enjoying the process.
As you can tell i do very little post processing, only a bit of sharpening or brightening. I'd like to learn, that will come in time.
Zephyr is my main subject, he is always easy to work with and I really enjoy taking photos of him and my other dogs!! We do a lot of hiking and also a lot of dog sports!! I also take many photos of my children but only post a few here. I am feeling the need to expand my view a bit, and get back into more thought provoking images, so you may see some of those attempts too!
I feel that I am a very fortunate person and try to enjoy each and every day that I may have.
The view from here is beautiful!
Erin

Stuart`Dootson says:
"Erin is (for me) one of the special people I know on Flickr…sharing, warm, talented…
She's got such an artistic streak - new and unexpected photographs, making me think, pictures of her beautiful dogs, the wonderful countryside that she shares with us through her images…
Her warmth comes through in the comments she makes and the words she writes, and it is so obvious how widely those sentiments are shared when you see the outpouring of sympathy when, as has happened too often recently, she's had a traumatic event in her life (Chase, Zephyr's (happily, treated) cancer)…
Overall - Erin's one of those Flickr contacts I am proud to call friend…she's a very special person..."26th August, 2010

"I always look forward to Erin's new shots because they always make me smile :) Her photostream is so beautiful... she truly is an artist... not to mention a wonderful friend!!! Thanks for being you Erin :)
"Sometimes in life, you find a special friend. Someone who changes your life just by being a part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop. Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship. When you're down and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete because you need not worry. You have a forever friend, and forever has no end."

"Erin has a truly charming photostream. I always look forward to visting it.
There is always something to see on the stream, a great selection of nature shots. The highlight for me though are the photos of the wonderful Zephyr & Zen."19th July, 2010

On The Borders of Insanity says:
"Erin is one of the artists I most admire on Flickr.
She has a natural eye for composition, a creative mind and a poet's soul. So many of her shots are more than just a picture frozen in time - they tell a story, much in the way that great writers tell stories with words. Sometimes they are breathtaking, sometimes sad, other times they bring a smile to my face or laughter to my day. But always I know that her shots will evoke some emotion, something more than just appreciation for a good picture.
Thank you, Erin, for sharing your talent with me."3rd March, 2010
