a love

Hi. My name is Garrison Smith. Photography is my thing. Graphics Design is my other thing. And at this point in my life, I can't honestly tell you which I prefer. Everywhere I look, I see a photo opportunity. Its like I can't shut it off; like I'm constantly looking through a viewfinder. Most hunters go out with a rifle. I hunt with a lens.

If you wish to use any of my photographs, please send me a flickr mail. I will be happy to let you, all I ask is that you ask. All photos are protected by a copyright.

I tend to show my emotions through visual media. Im human, I make mistakes. I think about a lot, and you might be shocked. My photos and designs are accurate interpretations of my thoughts--every single one of them.


Please: Tell me something.

    "Oh look, your first testimonial from a guy. There ya go, Lauren.

    Besides very quickly becoming my total bestie and being practically the single coolest person on the face of the planet, Garrison has real talent. His photography is strong and his graphic work is top-notch.

    Having known him for only a week, he is literally already one of my biggest inspirations, encouraging me to try new things (he doesn't know that though,) do the extra work for a piece, and be a better and more respectable person.

    This kid is exactly what flickr is about; meeting people who inspire you and change you as a person for the better."

    "Garrison, you already know you're a charming young intellectual, whom I am very pleasured to have met, by true chance. You're bloody brilliant, and deserve every happiness. I don't think I mentioned that you're quite the photographer, I find your work captivating. You often leave me gobsmacked, deary. You may be a tad bit of a nancy boy, but you caught my eye and made me stick around (difficult to do). So far you haven't spoken any bit of rubbish towards me, I'm glad, actually you might even be a tiny bit too nice, either way you're simply divine, darling. Look at me, yakking on. I'm knackered, truly. Cheerio, Garrison.


    Best of British, and keep your pecker up!"
