I have only been knee deep in photography for almost a year; now, I feel that I am up to my eyeballs in this expressive art. I do not consider myself being on the same level as the more seasoned photographers...maybe like yourself, I still have much to learn. I do gravitate towards black and white photography and one of my favorite photographers in this genre is Ansel Adams. There are a lot of flick'r-ites that produce some really, really nice black and white photos that I find just irresistable that are too numerous to mention but you know who you guys and gals are. Thank you for taking the time to read my BIO and I will post the link to the website/photo web gallery that I am working on when I am done; and thank you for commenting on my photos, I am still trying to figure out how to get the numbers of comments to my photos up in the triple digits. Thank you very much. ~Allan

You Are a Seeker Soul

You are on a quest for knowledge and life challenges.
You love to be curious and ask a ton of questions.
Since you know so much, you make for an interesting conversationalist.
Mentally alert, you can outwit almost anyone (and have fun doing it!).
Very introspective, you can be silently critical of others.
And your quiet nature makes it difficult for people to get to know you.
You see yourself as a philosopher, and you take everything philosophically.
Your main talent is expressing and communicating ideas.
Souls you are most compatible with: Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul
What Kind of Soul Are You?
