Clearly not a Blogger !
I am clearly not a blogger nor am I a Photographer! but I am out there taking Photos and editing till my hearts content..
This unexpectadly has gotten me a rather large following on various different social media outlets..I have been absolutely blown away by some of the comments I have received over the short time I have been involved in sharing my work..
I suppose one reason for my humble surprise is the fact that I don’t know what I am doing ,I simply see something I love and capture it the way I see it .
I am open and have not been schooled in any specific way,I joke in my Bio that ” Chris is a free thinking Artist traveling the world” ..well when I think about it I am .. its a passion with no rewards other than kind words from strangers..
Sometimes these are priceless ,even more so when someone I respect as a photographer gets involved with my flow..
Some say I inspire them ,some beg me for more ,some comment on every image I share and some even want to be like me and see the world as I do..???
Sometimes its tiring and sometimes its energising , so for that reason I will be easing off a little with the social media side of things and will concentrate my energy into my website and organising my collection with better information and tagging .
Sometimes less is more..
Here are some of my images that have inspired me to carry on ..yes I know its sad but I am my own fan ..lol.
Thanks again for all that have followed me and taken time check out my work..

Chris, you followed me on Flickr thank you and I looked at some of your work, just beautiful. Its funny because without formal training I’ll tell you this, you’ve got a good eye.
I read a couple of your postings here on your site. This one and the one on social media. Your observation about the statistical irregularities is interesting. I’m a single parent working full time, so I don’t post much, but I’ve managed to get a couple thousand followers on flickr, but I do data analysis for a living, and the number of follower looks impressive, but it a small group of 200-300 people that actually like my photos and a smaller subset, maybe a 10% or 20% of those that actually comment so go figure, number of followers can be deceptive. People tend to follow back. I follow a lot of people, but I love looking through their new work, there are many I follow that haven’t posted in years. Annually I go through and start unfollowing them.
Anyway, your photography is topnotch, and I love your tale of travel and really look forward to seeing your work in the future. Keep on shooting!
Regards,
Eugene
