I'm not a photographer, but I do like to play around with my digital camera every now and again just for fun. Photoshopping is pretty cool too.

I'm very happily married, and a proud father of two sons.

"A master of his own unique and personal style of photomanipulation. I will always appreciate his work, because it holds it's own brilliant standards. I've never seen anything so different yet so attractive at the same time!
Keep up the awesome work, man."

"Xalamay is an artistic Master of Adventure. To view his photostream is to share in a wonderful world of imaginative experimentation and glorious success. The development of his skills is detailed for those who wish to follow, invaluable to a beginner like me. Learning new techniques from his working examples has saved time and frustration - he has inspired and encouraged me on my own journey of discovery in visual artistry, a precious gift. His artistic vision is exceptional. Xalamay is a most valuable jewel in the Flickr crown! :-)"
