The Official "Introduce Yourself & Say Hello" Thread

admin

Darren LoPrinzi Posted 5 years ago

'Less is more' is our mantra around here...and that also goes for individual threads of people saying hello!

But we get it - you find a cool group with a lot of members, the photos are amazing...you're excited and just want to let me know you're here! Not a problem, we're glad you found us and happy to have you part of our family.

So if you want to say hello and tell us a little bit about yourself - this is the place to do it. Please do not open separate threads for this purpose, from now on we will close such threads and redirect you here....and eventually delete those stragglers.

By all means, if you have something specific to share, discuss, ask, etc - feel free to open a new topic on it if you don't an existing topic on it already.

So...onto the HELLOs!

Pe EsZ Posted 3 years ago

Hello! Great to be back on Flickr after several years of break. Happy finding a group of folks sharing my interest in "photominimalism" ;-)
I'm Polish living in Switzerland and love traveling and exploring new ways (for me) of photography. Currently getting more into analog ... let's see on how it will work.

mirthorn Posted 2 years ago

Hi Everyone,
I'm Philippe from France. Photography is a hobby for me, I don't remember when I started, but now it's hard to meet me without a camera in my bag wherever I go, skying, hicking, even at work (but i'm retired now). My main focuses are landscapes, mainly mountain, wildlife and night sky, but a lot of other things, anything I feel worth photographying in fact.

Evergreen States Posted 2 years ago

Hello,

My name is Pierre Saget (they/them) and I'm an American street and urban landscape photographer working in both digital and film and based out of the Tri-Cities, Washington. I'm not a consistently minimalist photographer, but I've long been fascinated by minimalism and have been long inspired by minimalist art.

JohnCasey4701 Posted 2 years ago

Hi, I'm John Casey, I've been a professional Photographer in Australia for over 40 years. I shoot mainly sports and real estate these days, but have shot heaps of other stuff over the years. The wierd thing is I shoot as a hobbyist when I'm not working and love the simple things in life. I always say that I like to make something ordinary into the extraordinary by highlighting it's simplicity. I see a lot of that on this page which is really nice.

Tõnu Asandi Posted 2 years ago

Hi, I'm Tõnu from Tallinn, Estonia. Photography is a relatively new hobby for me and it really kicked off this spring when I got a first full-frame camera. Been mostly taking photos at sports competitions but the real passion is nude photography. I don't know much anything about minimalism but managed by chance to crop one photo taken during a nude photo shoot that got accepted here so it's game on :).

zack_carter Posted 2 years ago

Hello everyone. Im a photographer from Edmonton AB. I mostly shoot cars and street photography. But you will see lots of variety on my page. Ive been into photography for just over a year now and have learned lots. I continue to see what everyone else is doing and love to learn from you. Thanks for taking the time to read this. And thank you everyone for all the inspiration.

Hi my name is Jan. My camera got robbed 30 years ago. The mobile telephone helped me to rediscover the camera. I like to go out and the camera helps me to look with more attention at the world around me. Nice group.

justonemoment Posted 2 years ago

Hi, my name is Armin living in Munich / Germany. I'm with flickr since one year now and still not familiar with all of its secrets but willing to learn. Minimalism is a great challenge for me! Mainly I point my cam onto landscapes, slowly animals, plants and flowers - almost during holidays.
Best regards to all!

Hello. I'm an old guy who has picked up the camera in retirement after setting it aside upon entering the workplace. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. A favorite quote from the writer George Saunders: "The highest aim of [art] is to jolt us (albeit temporarily) into a more awake and uncertain state of mind." Not a lot of photos do that for me, but some minimalist photos do, and I look forward to spending time with this group's creations.

Landscope Traveler Posted 1 year ago

Hi, new here, I only realized that I'm more into the subject then I expected,
Also I'm still to make some new photos specific to this theme,
and I'm finding it strangely challenging to make at the same time a minimalist
photography, and yet at the same time the one that I'm happy with, any advice
from more experienced fellows here?

MOD

zeh.hah.es. Posted 1 year ago Edited by zeh.hah.es. (moderator) 1 year ago

Landscope Traveler welcome to the group, Eric!
When composing minimal photos, you do not limit yourself on what you photograph, but consider as well, how you represent it. Your minimalist photos will have a clear distinction between context - for minimal photos this is usually uniform - and main object. To enhance the perceived size of the negative space, you‘ll place the object of interest off the center, to the side or higher or lower within the frame.

Landscope Traveler Posted 1 year ago

zeh.hah.es.:

Thanks, I need to say the way you described it is exactly what I found it interesting,
mostly I'm attracted to landscapes, but this is almost opposite, I guess I'm gonna
have to keep on experimenting, playing with space as an object... almost like photography in the negative, less is more after all

rlebby2346 Posted 7 months ago

To everyone, I say hello / bonjour / hola. My name is Rob (short for Robert, which sounds a bit too formal for me). I live on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains in eastern Tennessee in the U.S. I began photography a couple of years ago and feel fortunate to live close to an area like the Smoky Mountains as it has great opportunities for landscape photography. I also love to go to the beach and photograph there as well. I appreciate being in this group and look for it to expand my horizons in photography.
On a side note, is it me or does this thread seem to be upside down, where the most recent posts are at the bottom? Just an observation. Thanks.

does this thread seem to be upside down

The world is clearly divided on this point, not only in discussion forums but also in email threads. I think it has a lot to do simply with whatever online form of communication happened to be one's early, formative influence. Top to bottom (like Flickr topics) seems correct to me.

rlebby2346 Posted 7 months ago

I don't disagree. Thanks.
