Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!Â
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper! Â
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

Think he'd know better at his age, but as mentioned above, each to their own.

I bet he was a bit of a lad in his day! Aren't humans a strange breed. With one swipe of the clippers, he would be judged in a completely different way..........rightly or wrongly.

"What you think of me is none of my business." Great portrait although he appears to be well past the expiration date for 'Punk'. Still, I admire his spunk.

Cool portrait Andrea :)

That is as good an answer as any and better than most. As long as he is comfortable, who are we to judge.

This is a great capture think of this of how boring it would be if everyone looked and thought the same... just sayin'

Definitely a cool close up Andrea! The details of his face, and all the contours are great! I like his response of just simply "the past", as it really does inspire some of us, and implicate who we are today. Love the expression too!

Super shot but I don't think I will be looking to him for inspiration!!

I was thinking he was too old for this. "The Past" explains it well. :)

Another great random portrait!

There's room for all sorts of individuality in this world or was there a rule book nobody told me about? As long as no one's being hurt or victimized, I make no moral judgments about appearances or lifestyles. He looks like a lively character & I like the stylized background you've created for him...

A wonderful portrait and stylish postwork on the background.

What a cool shot! I agree with Faemike55....Judge not a book by its cover :)

Very elegant. Probably going to see the Queen.

Sorry not for me.

What fun! I like his look and his willingness to do what he feels like doing. :)

This is what makes our world go round - billions of individuals - a great portrait and another profound quote. I like his crystal but can't figure out what type of stone it is!
