“Flickrite” in the Spotlight: Wog the Photog

Old Bridge

Originally uploaded by polywogy69

This is a very special “Flickrite” in the Spotlight for me, because I get to tell you a little about the person that was instrumental in bringing me back from a very long absence in photography. His name is Paul Dennison (a.k.a. Polywogy69). I work with Paul and several years ago he bought a DSLR camera and began talking about how much he loved photography. It seemed like he took every opportunity to talk about it and sent me out to Flickr on every possible occasion to look at the photographs he had taken.

One day he said, “Why don’t you bring your camera in and during lunch we’ll go shoot some photos.” I agreed and that night I dusted off my old Pentax K-1000. Several days later we went out to photograph President’s Circle at the University of Utah during our lunch time. We had a blast and I was well on the road to “absencia-photolic” recovery by the time we finished.

Paul is a great photographer and has a real knack for imagining the unusual as it relates to his photography. He recently began his own business in portrait photography and enjoys it very much. I can always count on Paul for some good photographic advice “in a pinch” and his primary desire is to help others as he seeks that next image to capture.

There is an extremely high level in “fun factor” when you go photowalking with Paul. He is quick to smile and laugh most of the time at himself. He is certainly a great photographic asset to have around. His enthusiasm brought me back from the “photographic dead” and I truly appreciate him for that.

Paul Dennison, or Wog the Photog as I refer to him, is a PhotoCapM “Flickrite” in the Spotlight. Please visit Paul’s photostream by clicking on his Flickr name above and see for yourself just how imaginative a person can be in photography. I highly recommend his “My Favs” set to see the breadth of Paul’s skill and ability.

Until next time…
