It is my passion. Since coming into existence of Flickr and joining same
I spend much of my spare time taking fotos and making them freely available
under Creative Commons Licence (Attribution only, required)
to anyone who wants or needs.
Although I am native English speaker I deliberately choose to play with the language
at home, abroad, and here.
Irish (Gaeilge) is my second language (since the age of about 11). Now I do not speak it regularly, since almost 30 years; hence it falls into dis-use.
So! I often write foto and not photo; fotograf and not photograph; and so on...
It is being playful and serious at once!
