I have been around art & photography for most of my life. However, I began participating in Photography, a few years ago ! I found I was curious what I could learn & achieve ! I joined Flickr & discovered a world of gifted, talented people ! A few years later, here I am , embarking on another first with thoughts for more ! I owe so much of this to my father, Robert R. Byers, without his support & encouragement ...I wouldn't even be here ! Thanks , Dad ! :)
