I was born at the American Hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. I find inspiration in the lives of so many people from Joan of Arc to Oscar Wilde. While my primary avocation is photography, I also enjoy philosophy, theology and most of all, history. My beloved wife, Robin Anne Smith, who passed away in 2013 is an inspiration to me. My beloved partner, Dana is also a great support and inspiration to me. I'd be remiss if I did not mention my cats: Maxwell, Nigel, Pirouette and GarGar. View more posts
Beautiful Photographs 
Wow, you really took up the challenge. Thank you! As I said in my post, photography is subjective. I like the first image because I like the way the white “pops.” Which one do you like? Your preference is what counts. Great work! Hope you’re having fun!!
Yes, the first one is my favorite too! 😺

B&W photo #2 😊 I like how the little center flowers pop out.
Thank you! 😺 I was trying to illustrate that there are different kinds of black & white.
