Hi all! Took a break from flickr for awhile, but now I'm back! YAY.

Hello everyone! I think I'm back now! :) My fear of photography has left me and the bad taste I had in my mouth has gone. I have changed a few things. I have deleted or marked as friends only a lot of old photographs, and will continue to do that in the future as I see fit. I am working my way through my current contacts list and deleting a lot of people. It's nothing person if we are no longer contacts/friends, but I am now using the contact feature as a way to keep up with people's photos that I want to see - not as a way to allow access to my own. Most of my photos are still public, so there you go.

I hope to have my new camera in the next few months, so that shall be a whole new adventure! Much love,
Wispra

    "This testimonial was written as an observation to Tangolarina's photo (30.365. Behind the scenes).... This testimonial is just my impression formed by her photo, I in no way attribute any facts or knowledge, it's purely a deduction and impression of mine.

    I believe this young photographer has an immense talent and a photographer to be watched if she pursues her passion. I note that she's working with a rather unsubstantial camera, and stiil achieving some pretty amazing shots... Is there anybody out there that would consider helping me purchase her a digital SLR?

    Let me think now... Romance seems to be a big factor in your life... But you're uncertain in your judgment, thus strive for guidance and knowledge. Have spiritual beliefs but have a difficult time rationalizing it, focused overtly in what you consume, nutrition and how it controls your body and soul.

    Searching for answers in trust, sexuality, innocence, desire and love. You need to feel yourself the protector. Have trouble trusting adults and content to be young and inquisitive. You question if you are true what you project to others, at times feel like you’re fraudulent. Trouble making eye contact, insecure, you subconsciously know you’re beautiful but can’t see it, confident with others but suffer angst when alone.

    You’re a very visual person, love art that has hidden alternate meanings, find photography true and unbiased, attracted to both the female form as the male, prefer images composed indirectly as a voyeur and imagine as you were looking in without their knowledge. You love your body, your perfect breasts, your youthful little nipples, supple lips, but don’t acknowledge it, an exhibitionist at heart yet shameful of it.

    Candles give you a sense of mystery, the flame gives you a sense of peace but fear its frailty and mortality, you wonder if it’s the wax or the fumes that sustains its flame, fascinated by the materials ability to change form and fluidity, wonder how the wax has the ability to be a gas, a solid, a liquid, inert, combustible. The smoke that seems to live and have no constraints… You see it reflects your life, carefree and unstructured.

    Did I get it right?
    Keep up the search, Follow your heart and it will show you the way…
    Sauro"

    "'Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
    As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
    Are melted into air, into thin air:
    And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
    The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
    The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
    Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
    And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
    Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
    As dreams are made on; and our little life
    Is rounded with a sleep.'-Shakespeare
    Tangolarina makes us dream about her and her universe which becomes our while we admire her artistic work....alas!! beautiful and talented woman!!"

    "T's photos are a study in contrasts: darkness and light, innocence and experience, elegance and savagery, raw pain and sparkling joy. She only reveals what she wants you to see. You turn to look at her, but she dances away. She is a nymph, a sprite, a will-o'-the-wispra. Whoever it was who wrote, 'she doth teach the torches to burn bright! / It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night / Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear' must have been writing about T.

    "Such a creative and passionate life, a life to be admired, to be emulated, a life that grabs hold and shakes you and inspires you all at the same time, a life of light and dark and every shade in between, a life that lives and loves life. Such an incredible life she shares with us. Merci tellement beaucoup le cher !"

    "As a photographer, and appreciator of the female form, I find that Tangolarina satisfies many of my curiosities, and gives me some great ideas! It's rare that I find a great model - someone who photographs well, has interesting poses, a wide range of emotional expression and has some serious energy to boot - who is also a fun and quirky photographer! She's friendly, artistic and spends a lot of time replying to people who comment on her work. An open and sharing artist, when viewing her photostream, you are made to feel like there is an abundance of artistic energy in the world, not scarcity. I hope some day Tangolarina crafts a coffee table book, so I can buy it."

    ""T" is everything that I ever imagined myself being but knew I never could be. She has such a free spirit and yet is in complete control of it. Her stories are a must read. Seriously! I won't even begin to talk about her photos, you've already seen them, no doubt. They make my innards vibrate =-P
    thanks so much for sharing yourself and your inner circle of friends as well with us T!"

    "Not an artist nor an intellect or even good speller, just a passerbyer, I be. Pondering budding star or shooting star. Artsy, smartsy, old soul, new age, renaissance, searching, seeking, exploring, yearning, longing, stirring, desiring, inspiring, driven,'drama queen'? Clothes on, clothes off, child/woman, woman/child, 'cute', sexy, plain, fancy, outdoor, indoor, playful, classy, classical, disciplined, Lolita/Lola, fair Juliet but do not confuse with Barrymore (though Cinderilla she might be) with perhaps a bit of Marilyn though hopefully not so tragically. Shy, daring, intro/extrovert, old school maybe, but does not need the Army to be all she can be. No matter how high you soar, may your candle always radiately reflect your passion and inner fire lighting your paths and warming those about you. Bon chance and best wishes to the little dancer you will always be. No doubt you have a stack of these so I shall leave it to your fellow artists and pros to glow on your abilities of which such finer things I am so ignorant. M."
