And time for the yearly update :)

I started photography last March (2010) when i got my first DSLR as a birthday present from my mom. I use my trusty Canon 500D, and since then expanded my kit to include my 55-250 mm 4-5.6 IS, my 50 mm 1.8 II and my 24 - 70 mm 2.8 L (which i adore!), and my 70-200 2.8 L IS USM II (which is just a godsent!) along with filters flashes etc. Both my parents were camera fans, so i sort of inherited a couple of film cameras i dont use enough.

Took my first DSLR shot on the 26th of March 2010. Since then Ive become really passionate about photography. I started my first 365 on the 1st of May last year too.

I used to study architecture in Boston, MA at BU, but decided to stop that degree (not what i was passionate about) and am now studying a BA in photography at LCC!

Other than that, I draw a lot, and similarly write a lot (both poetry and stories), so I apologize in advance for the random spam in descriptions! :) I love dogs, purr at cats and go on crazy adventures.




Please leave a comment if you favorite my shots - its kind of nice to know what you like about them exactly rather than just getting about 20 shots marked as favorites with no idea why! And yeah i know odds are no ones ever going to see this but hey - i tried.

Also all my shots are copyrighted. if you want to use them ask me. that's all it takes. the versions i upload are clearly the crappier quality ones exactly for this reason, so it takes about 2 seconds to hit my profile and send me a flickrmail!

Thanks for listening :)

    "There is much to say about Selene. She is for one a great flickr contact! It's always a joy to talk to her and carry on an intelligent conversation about art and creative thoughts and ideas.

    Selen is full of potential when it comes to photography. You can tell that she knows the camera. She might say she doesn't know it well, but it would appear that she does. Selene has a wonderful eye for the art of photography.

    When you look at Selene's work, you can see her creativity as she tries many new avenues being behind the lens as well as in front of the lens. Many of her pieces if not all seem to tell a story. Many times you can tell exactly what the story being told is, and other times you are guessing and using your imagination to create what YOU think the story being told is!

    Give Selene your support and add her to your contact list to keep watch out for her beautiful photography!

    Selene, thank you for being such a flickr friend and sharing your passionate work!

    -Chris"

    "Well, I'm Sorry Selene. It has taken me a very long time to go out and write one of these for you. First of all, this person is a inspiration to me and is the reason I am doing a 365, she supports me 100% of the way and i'm VERY fortunate for her to be my friend. Just knowing her and getting to know her is a privalege.

    I adore everything about her work, It's all SOOC, well mostly. which I think is such an amazing thing, not many photographers stay with that kind of work and still able to make it effective, thought provoking and full of emotion as Selene does. I really think everyone should have a look at her stream, I guarentee you will like what she you see, If you interesting in this kind of work.

    I love the way she is not afraid to show what she is thinking and feeling from day to day, whether she displays it in an image or writes it, whatever it is. Also the way she incorperates her thoughts whethter their new/old ideas into an image stuns me. It adds an effect to the image that blows me away everytime I see one of those images. However I think she is way self critical and is much better than what she thinks she is.

    In all she is truely and inspiring person and an great contact when she can. Selene. You're brilliant! :)"

    "Selene is truly an inspiration in that she quietly and sweetly urges me to do my best - and then do better - both in my "art" work and my personal life. She is warm, expressive, supportive, genuine, caring, hilariously funny, talented, insightful, and a killer Monopoly player!!!

    It's a joy to view each and every one of her images, but it's even a greater pleasure to be learning more and more about this promising artist as she develops her skills. Truly, you won't find a finer flickr friend than **Selene**!! :)"

    "There are not words that would be able to do her photos justice, Although amazing comes to mind pretty fast! Selene has the ability to capture the essence and beauty of an everyday moment, the kind that passes the rest of us by, with such great ease she has an eye for the most beautiful things in life which she captures for the world to see, all her pictures to date are sooc and that is a credit to her ability because she truly captures the perfect image without it needing to be changed or enhanced a skill which most can only dream about ! As a person she is funny and interesting and very intelligent. Someone I am privileged to get know !"
