William Finnegan's photostream

SetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

Born and brought up in Charlotte, NC. I spend most of my time traveling (a lot) to places like New York, LA, Miami, everywhere, and on an unfortunate occasion, ~~Atlanta~~ not

I see something that intrigues me, and I take a picture of it. Mainly urban life and landscape, but that's intriguing and it's beautiful. Some may disagree, but I try to call it what it is to me. Life is beautiful.
I love coffee and Coca-Cola. Life is short, so I stay awake for it.

Stay thirsty my friends

L.A.S.E.R.S ya'll!! (Love Always Shines, and Everyday Remember 2 Smile)

"Hey brotha!
This is my first testimonial to a Flickr friend, and I must say he's worth writing something for. William is one of the best minds I've met here on Flickr. View his stream and you'll meet the wonderful soul behind the photos. It's almost ineffable, and words don't do enough justice to prove his brilliance. You just don't stay on Flickr just for random nothings. And so I am grateful that I happen to find meaning in each of his posts. His soul is beauty personified. Keep us all inspired!

"Hi William!

I haven't been following your photostream for very long now, but I must say I love your work. You have some awesome tones in your pictures, and I admire all the scenery work. I'm jealous of all the traveling that you get to do! I really hope to travel all of the world someday. I have been to Charlotte, Raleigh, and Durham, North Carolina; and I believe you grew up in Charlotte... All of your photos amaze me, and I love your use of colors. By looking at them, I actually feel something, and I can tell some level of thought went into all the pictures you took. Thanks for commenting on my stuff. I enjoy hearing your feedback. Keep up the awesome work William. I look forward to seeing more from you in the future.

Happy Holidays,
Christa :)"

"First of all, Happy Holidays, William! :)

I've been following William's photostream for a little while now and I must say that there is something unique that I love about his photos. I admire how he's able to travel to all of these big cities to snap all of these incredible shots of urban/city life. The skylines are especially my favorite -- they're so gorgeous! I, myself, love big cities (I'm from San Jose -- not the BIGGEST city but I know it's in the top ten U.S. cities), and I love the environment of them. William captures them perfectly, and now more than ever I'd love to travel to all of the ones he's captured beautifully :)

Keep up the excellent work, and thank you for all of the feedback as well! Looking forward to seeing more from you (:"

"aw i was so close to being your first , but oh well :)
alright here we go..

i remember when i first came across William's stream. It was just a few days, if not a week or two, after I joined this site. I found a picture of a palm tree against a sunset and i was in awe as it was such a stunning capture of such a pretty setting. i found an outtake in the comments of a lake and a few buildings in the background and i was mesmerized again. i looked through his stream and found photo after photo of utter perfection in the form of many things but his photos of buildings and sunsets are still my favourite

william's photography is impeccable but what is also interesting is that he is such a friendly, open-minded person. i'm so happy i came across your stream when i did and even more happy that i've been able to learn about what life is like where you live and talk to you about a wide range of things

i have a feeling this is longer that i expected but i really look forward to seeing more from William and i hope we can be friends for many years to come!

adios por ahora! :)"

I wish you'd update more often to your photo stream! Your photos are beautiful, hope you continue taking lots and lots of pictures so you become a little bit better everyday (: Seguí así William, vas a llegar muy lejos! :D"
