Hi, I began using flickr about 2 weeks ago. I think I may be becoming addicted!

I'm in Scotland but I spend a lot of time in Germany. So far the photos I have posted have all been taken in and around football stadiums. I've had a notion that I wanted to put those kinds of pics online for a couple of years now... finding flickr gave me the push to do it. Other types of photo will follow soon.

Hello, i'm Veta from St. Petersburg, Russia

Hi, Veta..... I just had a look at some of your photos :-) I hope some more members introduce themselves here.

Hello! I'm Gareth from Lancashire.

Hi Gareth..I particularly like your Austrian pics cuz I lived there for a while. Brought back good memories :-) Hope to see you posting more.

Hey, I'm Nick from Chicago. I've got photos of a different kind of football stadium. Particularly Soldier Field here in Chi-town. The whole place was built as a memorial to America's war veterans.

Thanks for the warm welcome, i look forward to posting more soon!

Hi I'm Zeb. I live in Portland, Oregon and I pretty much eat, sleep and breathe photography. I shoot all film on about a half a dozen different cameras and yeah, I think I am addicted to Flickr too.

Hello all, I'm Zach. I'm from San Francisco, but spent the last year and a half in London earning a Master's degree. Am now in Rome, where I'll be for two months before returning home.

Hi, I'm florrie - 60-year-old English lady who was just looking round for a nice comprehensive group to put some of the pictures of memorials and statues that I seem to have taken. I like the wide mix of people and places in this group.

Hi florrie :-) Glad you added yourself to the mix here.

Hi everyone.

I'm Donna, forty-something and originally from Clydebank in Scotland, but I've lived in Southall in London (England) for over 10 years now.

I'm exclusively a cameraphone photographer - I love gadgets that incorporate multiple uses in one thing, so being able to carry around a single piece of equipment which enables me to talk to people, email, browse the web, keep track of my diary and to do list, take photographs and blog is pretty close to my idea of heaven! lol!

I enjoy photographing anything which catches my eye, and photoblogging my train journeys up and down to Scotland and my occasional business trips abroad.

clay from Brooklyn, NY here.

Tino from Osnabrück, Germany.

I'm Susan and I live in the Northeast corner of Oklahoma, better known as Green Country. I have a boyfriend named Goofball (a term of endearment) and a 5 year old Jack Russell Terrier named Buddy. I work 40 miles from home, where I test electrical wire harnesses for the Falcon aircraft; a very interesting job that I have yet to get tired of. I've just recently gotten into photography and as of now, I'm just using an inexpensive point and shoot camera. I'd eventually love to own a more professional type model, so, we'll see. Nice meeting all of you and I look forward to seeing everyones photos! =)

From childhood I've been an enthusiastic photographer in bursts of a few years at a time. Recently retired, the low running costs and outdoor activity of digital photography as appealed to me and I've become hooked on both photography and Flickr. I live in Edinburgh Scotland, and rarely travel, so my photography is almost entirely of Edinburgh and environs.

I'm a technical writer in Silicon Valley, but I've always been fascinated by cemeteries. I've been taking pictures around the Bay Area, and in other parts of the state on vacations.
