Skyelyte's photostream  

Not that it matters, though due to some folks misunderstanding.... I am a self taught, hobbiest, and Amateur photographer..... whatever amateur happens to mean. For me, Pro means that you earn a particular percentage of your living from Photography. Thus far, that would not be me ;-) I photograph simply because I love to!!

Edit: I jumped in here quickly to put up the above info about me due to several folks appearing to assume that I was a pro. Thus, I wanted to correct the misperception.

In doing this so rapidly, I missed a very important point. The fact is when I first started on Flickr now at least 4 years ago, I received the most tremendous and thoughtful gift from a person I befriended here on Flickr. I have no clue why I was so truly lucky, though when I knew not a thing about composition and then never posted a photo that anyone would care to ever look at, Anoop Negi, aka Ezee as Hell began to guide me and mentor me then in my beginning interest in photography. I can't thank Anoop enough for the thoughtful time, and honest feedback that he gave to me back then!! Truly if I can hope that my work has come to a place that others can enjoy, I owe so very much to Anoop's patience, kindness and time that he gave to me to allow me to learn and grow and most important by far to appreciate so many beautiful moments in this world that I likely would have missed if it were not due to the time Anoop extended to me.

So thank you, once again Anoop in more ways then I can ever say for being the wonderful, phenomenal person and friend that you have been to me!!

Please do visit Anoop's Flickr site, as he is one of the most gifted and genius photographer's I have come to know on Flickr. Every one of Anoop's works is a treasure for all who experience his art are far the more enriched for... His site is here:

There is no better gift in life then to notice what is beautiful in our world.
Thank you Don from the bottom of my heart for giving me this priceless gift to encourage me to see and come to know what is truly beautiful!!!.

but because of those who look on and
do nothing
