hello
being very new too i suggest that urban fragments creates a welcome thread where newbies introduce themselves like in the group flickr central. so you won't have a threat for each one of us ;)

nice to be here.

I've looked at some of the photos in this group and many are amazing! With all the examples here I aim to improve the quality of my photos. I hope that they will not be too far below the standard especially at this early stage!

Hi all Urban Fragmenters my name is Mark. I live in South Wales (UK) near Cardiff and a contact of mine recommended that I check out your group. So I did and was impressed with what I saw so I joined the group instantly followed up by sending a couple of my own captures. I have only been a Flickr member for a short while but am really enjoing speaking to people all over the world with common interests in various photographic forms and subsequent constructive critique which is helping to improve all the time. Hope to hear from you all soon.

Hello--another newbie. I live in Monterey, California. Lately I've been mining and posting old photos (slides), but that has spurred me on to dusting off my cameras and getting back into photographing after a rather long hiatus. Monterey isn't big-city urban, but there is still plenty of subject matter here--and if I want big-city urban, I can always head to San Francisco for a little inspiration. Nice to be here (in this group, I mean : )

flora and flying  Pro User  says:

hello.

My name is nazila. I did urban history/preservation planning and landscape architecture in an earlier life. I still attend meeings of preservationists and vernacular scholars, so I am always looking for urban and rural fragments. I live in Seattle, but I travel alot to paris, rome and throughout the US, so I am always looking for interesting things and places to photograph.

I mostly use a d50 with assorted lenses, but just bought a canonsd800IS and am playing with it these days.

I am more likely to take a fragment picture than a landscape, so this is a great group for me.

Inkyhack  Pro User  says:

Hello - Inky from Modesto/Stockton California, though I was born and raised in Chicago and travel that way every once in a while. I've been taking photos on and off for some 25 years now. Though I don't really consider myself anything more than an amateur photographer because I mostly use the camera for relaxation, I technically have that "semi-pro" status. I take photos for work as well as for fun and get photos published occasionally in newspapers, magazines and books (mostly because my bosses get desperate for a specific image and use mine as a last resort due to lack of better photos - HA!).

BobD2  Pro User  says:

Hi everyone! My name is Bob and I live in southern Maine. Always had a fascination for old forgotten things - objects, buildings, whatever - so urban fragments is a great fit for me. Recently I have been reversing my tracks and shooting film with older cameras rather than shooting digital. This has been in part because I haven't the budget for a high-end digital, and I was getting fed up with poor quality from low-end digitals - over sharpening, excess noise, and jpeg compression artifacts. They put some great glass on some simple cameras back in the 60's and 70's. If I get a 'once in a lifetime' great shot on film, I could go so far as to get a drum scan... if I got that same great shot on my 7MP A620, I'm stuck with it at that size and quality.

DeadManTalking  Pro User  says:

Hola,

Thank God for Justin.hawthorne. I was all set to lambast Portland for not having a single response to the thread, so he was just in time. (Okay, I apologize for that.)

And a note to those people who describe themselves as "aspiring photographers" or "aspiring writers." Buck up. If you have a camera, you're a photographer. If you write, you're a writer. Now, you may aspire to be lauded or to be make money off your art, and that's an entirely different bucket of bolts.

I take pictures to record information. I mostly take pictures of cemeteries. I mostly take pictures of cemeteries in Oregon. To date I've taken pictures in some 425 Oregon cemeteries; and I'm slowly putting up some shots from each cemetery onto Flickr and locating them on their map, should one be interested in finding them. I take pictures so I don't have to write down epitaphs. I take pictures to record the "personalization" of tombstones and gravesites. I take pictures to remember what the cemetery looks like. And sometimes, when driving over this glorious state, I take pictures of other things because, like Everest, they're there.

The bottom line is, you take 10,000 pictures, a few of them are bound to be, if not good, then at least not bad. Hopefully, a few of the good ones will find thir way here, but the company is rarified, indeed. A lot of the good photos I've found to send on to the group are actually taken by my wife, who takes far fewer photos than I do, but who takes a much larger percentage of good photos than I do. Think that doesn't make me grumpy? You bet.

Fun stuff, guys. I'm glad I found you. Come visit some time.

I keep my name and identity under wraps, since most of my photos involve my child. As a former journalist, I am very familiar with how easy it can be to track somebody with limited info - so I take small measures to maintain anonminity and reduce that risk.

I don't have any photos that fit this category yet, but I hope to change that. I love old buildings and architecture - and happened upon this group while browsing for inspiration. I'd like to branch out and improve my photo skills - and it seems the best way to do that may simply be by taking lots of photos of a variety of subjects.
Kodamakitty is so right - I'd never be able to play around if it weren't for digital!

Hi all - newbie to flickr and this group. I live in New York, which obviously provides a lot of urban fragment opportunities. Hope to post some stuff soon!

I'm Albert, from Barcelona, Spain. I'm a 100% urbanite, so the type of photography I like more is urban and street photography...

Hi, I'm Kirsten from Michigan - soon to be Ohio. But I was born and raised in Vermont. I love both city and country living and I've always loved shooting architecture and urban fragments so I think this is a great group! I earn my living by doing mainly portraiture and events like weddings but the urband fragments and nature shots I do for me, for fun!
