Where has Pete been?????

Hi everyone, I have been absent for a long while and thought I'd give a brief account of my adventures. I have managed to keep tabs with some of the oldie type shooters here as that means most to me. So here I go:

For the past two years I decided to leave the so called real camera world and only use a cell phone, (I know, it gets worst). Starting with the iphone 4, 4s, 5 but now switching to a Galaxy s3. All the pics below are from one of those phones. Two years into Instagram, I'm call Uncle Pete and use the tag @ima_soulman .... go figure. I've even done some serious video shooting and editing with the iphone. Now, that's a feat because my fingers are rather stubby.

You see at the ripe old age of 64ish I have lost all the wonder and desire for the real camera, all that matters to me is to feel and appreciate what's before me. I could care less about a critique and care more about the why or intent. I have always loved this site because Amin allows us all to be who we want to be. And brother there is a great mix here. I hope this note finds everyone well and doing good, yes even you Bill :) Sorry for the huge pics.

Well there ya go, take care all.... Pete
 
I'm 100% with you, Pete! You and your fabulous pictures have been greatly missed!

I have to remember how to get on to Instagram - Uncle Pete...and of course you're a soul man.

Is that a new grandbaby I see? Gosh these are compelling images - just beautiful.
 
Pete, you've gone away so long that I have moved your post into the welcomes and introductions category. :tongue:

Welcome back. You're always amongst friends here at SC. And photos from telephones are welcome, of course.....especially when they look like this.
 
Thanks Pete. There has been some odd Fuji vs m4/3s junk lately on mu-43. Your shared photos should serve as a reminder that we should all STFU for a minute or two and go take some pics!

Welcome back Pete. I've heard from you occasionally on Flickr so I knew you were around, and I've seen some of these shots, but not all, not by a long shot. Just another clear reminder it's not about the camera. Great shooting!

Hi Pete

Glad to have you back here. I am fairly new so I don't know you from before. I like your Instagram. I will follow you.
If you take time you can find some incredibly Great photography on there. If get a chance check mine, @donlaw100
 
I think I was just a new member.. because I remember your name and your avatar Pete. You must have left as I walked in. Anyway it is good to see you back and even better to hear that you are immersing yourself in the moments of life rather than fretting over what camera to capture them with.
 
Wonderful to see you back, Pete! And very interesting to see you're shooting with phone cameras. That's certainly in keeping with the spirit of this place!
