How 'Bout Some Spring Flowers?
Still exploring with my new camera :)
Creating a photographic image. The image is a response for a need to create.
Since the switch from film to the digital in photography I have watched the changes and the awakening in people when it comes to the ideas and concepts of art and the creative process and it is a very good thing I think. The ease and simplicity to manip …

Love your photos and your articles/seeds. Thought I'd tell you. :)
You have some of the most amazing photos I've seen for a long time. I've been interested in photography since I was in school (spent many hours in the school's darkroom), and have always kept it as a strong interest. I don't have any good camera equipment right now, but it's on my list to get again one day. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!

I am sure glad to have recently discovered you! Just when I thought I had entered a world of disingenuous rhetoric and fantasy ... you with your experience, intelligence, diverse exposure, common-sense and fairness appeared. I plan on following in your 'wake.' Great philosophy! I may be a "slow swimmer," but I carry shark bait just in case I need it!

Hey there Dubbya R. You are one of the "good guys" around here. Keep it up and I'll be seeing you around the Vine!
