Let me preface my profile by saying this-thanks *so* much to the many people who stop by my stream. I love Flickr deeply; I've made some great friends on here. But, due to an oddly weird string of people adding me I want to make sure I put this out there. I am an avid supporter of artistic nudes. I mean, there aren't many things out there that top the beauty of a naked woman. However, if you have no pictures of your own, or have favorited nothing but boobs you will be blocked. And no I'm not interested in having a three-way with you.

A little about me: I can hold up a mirror today and actually like who I see. Life’s challenges make you who are. Every “mistake” I thought I made, every time I stumbled have all driven me to be what I am and what I want to be tomorrow. The past few years have been a real struggle, each day testing my sanity. But somewhere along the way I found out who my real friends were, and picked up a camera. My ambitions and goals change like an ocean’s waves. Each time it rolls in, it has familiarity, but you know it’s different. I’ve always wanted to be successful, be passionate about what I do and simply enjoy my life. What that statement meant 7 years ago is very different than what it stands for today. I’m thankful to be where I am right now and can at least smile at my faults. I felt like for a long time the break-ups and cheaters were a rejection-now I see it as freedom. Every argument used to make me feel defensive, now it teaches me patience. Failure pushed me into a hole, where now it’s adrenaline working to make me better. That road you struggle so fearlessly against was right where you belonged all along. Love really is patient and forgiving. So in the mean time I will focus on the things I have to do to make me a better person. I’m sort of like a work in progress. This is just me, I’m learning as I go.

A year ago I completed a self-portrait 365 project. I decided to do one for a few reasons. I’m the biggest critique of myself and of my work. I felt if I could test my creativity on myself then I would become a better photographer. I’ll let you be the judge on the success. I started a new 365 this year although it's a different journey since my life is in a completely different place. I post a lot of different photos to Flickr. I love growing as an artist and meeting others who are just as passionate. I mostly post for myself, but hopefully my work is liked by others along the way. Everything I take pictures of and all of my captions are simply my thoughts and/or opinions. I don’t wish to offend anyone, but if I do-then you don’t have to view my stuff. It’s pretty simple.

All of my stuff is copyrighted by me. Don't steal, cause that just sucks. Muchas gracias…
