I love everything about photography - the creative process, the "magic moments" captured in the frame, the new connections made, the wonderful people I have met through Flickr, etc. The list goes on and on...............
Photography is also an extension of me and my passion for life. I have a strong desire to transfom, and evolve as a person. It is also my life's purpose to help others do the same. That being said, if you are a kind, loving person, I would love to be your contact or friend. I just ask that you treat me the same way I would treat you- with love and respect. I don't mind constructive criticism, but I have no place in my life for meaness.
The world is going through a tough time and everyone knows it. We can all benefit from a site/place where we can relax, be creative and relate to one another without interference from the bad side of people.
In terms of my photographs, they are sacred to me and are meant to impact the lives of those that view them. Bottom line: If you misuse, steal, or take my photos without my consent, you will be reported to Flickr immediately!

"Will is one of my biggest inspirations.
Not only is he a great person but he is a great photographer.
One day I hope to be as observant & creative with my surroundings as him. He finds the most beautiful quirks. He molds & plays with the world until it is his own. He takes risks & chances. He does his own thing. I respect that.
He is constantly encouraging. We may not see eye-to-eye when it comes to photographs but I wouldn't be the same artist I am now if it weren't for him. I wouldn't know as much. I wouldn't be as passionate. I wouldn't have picked up this lovely hobby of photography again, which completely changed my life. Will helped me realize what I want to spend the rest of my life doing, & for that, I thank him. He is also a really rad uncle.
Thanks again for the pro account(s), Will. Love you"31st October, 2009

"will's work with smoke never ceases to amaze me. he has created some absolutely fabulous works and is able to bring the most vivid and bold colors to his art. he maintains, to my knowledge anyway, the largest collection of smoke art on flickr, and each and every piece is interesting and captivating. keep up the good work, you are an inspiration."

"When i met Mr Cook he was in the process of becoming a born-again photographer. And it seems when a talent lie dormant for so long it needs to explode out in incredibly unique and creative forms almost like a volcano, almost like it has to. He has developed techniques that would awe the highest professionals. I am proud to say Mr. Cook led me into taking my personal photography to the next level, and has led me to my own path. here, now, if you can dream it, it can be; the possibilities are endless...."
