About Me
- Name: Lloyd
My home is in Chamberlains, CBS, Newfoundland: a place close enough to sea so that I can go there to watch the glorious sunsets over the bay, and the other infinite variety of sights and sounds that are forever changing, yet forever the same. I'm not as young as I used to be and don't get around much any more, but I've had many wonderful hours of enjoyment with my Yasihca 44 TLR and trusty old OM-2. I've always enjoyed photographing wild flowers, particularly the smaller ones, many of which , albeit mostly overlooked and dismissed as weeds, are exquisitely beautiful. Digital photography, complete with all the magic of its own portable darkroom, has brought a new dimension to the hobby. My OM-2 is retired now, but it is such a beautiful instrument, such a joy to hold and behold, that I don't think I will ever want to part with it. My digital, used mostly, is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30. Its 35-420 mm Leica zoom lens can really reach out for those hard to reach shots. My photographs are strictly amateurish, but hopefully some have succeeded in capturing something of the moment that inspired them.

Beautiful photos Lloyd, thank you for sharing them with the world.
GREAT GREAT photo of Uncle Josh,THANK YOU THANK YOU for sharing.Cameras were scarce in Labrador so ANY photo of people/places are a real treasure.There are still some young people who have never seen their grandparents in any photo.
Tony Roberts of Seal Islands,Labrador.
Thank you, Jeanette!
Tony, I have some photos of Batteau but unfortunately many of them are too faded for satisfactory scanning.
