Hmm...I'm usually at a loss for words whenever I am asked to "describe yourself". It's hard to tell what others really want to know, so I'll just stick with what I want you to know for now :). I am always looking for new ways to express myself. I don't consider myself an articulate person, therefore words aren't exactly my forte. Instead, I am better able to express myself through activities such as playing music, cooking/baking, or anything that allows me to 'create' something. Photography has now entered my world of self expression as well as the lifelong journey of self exploration. It has not only become severely addicting but also very therapeutic. Of course, I could not have been able to do any of this alone therefore I must express my gratitude to:
- The idea: The many wonderful people here who continue to inspire me to 'create'.
- The subject: Mother Earth, cuz she provides me with endless beauty to capture to last beyond this lifetime!
- The instrument: The camera and lenses which allow me to experience freedom in my little world.
I enjoy flickr as a place to meet new people who share the same passion for photography. Having said that, I would love to be able to respond to every contact request, but unfortunately I cannot. I use flickr because I enjoy the interactive aspect of it. Therefore, I hold off responding to contact requests until I know there's a genuine interest in my photography. I also know there are flickrites out there who want to build their portfolios with contacts in hopes of getting explored. Although that is perfectly fine, that's simply not me. As much as I love learning about photography, I also love learning about the people behind their photography. And through your photographs, my spirit gets to travel to places where I would otherwise not have the privilege to. So thank you for that!
On the use of my images: I would really appreciate it if those who want to use my images, ask me permission before doing so. I also ask that my images not be used to promote harm of any kind.
Thanks for your visit! :)
