I love photography ever since, but never really got heavy into it until digital. Okay, that "never really got heavy into it" left me with tens of thousands of film photos (most of them sucky) that I'm still sorting out to this day.

I am not fond of anything that disrespects, demeans women or anything that reduces a woman to a sex object. I am also very protective of children. Art may not have limits or boundaries, but I do. My faith plays a very important part in my life.

Okay, down from the soapbox I go.

    "Margot is one of the best photographers on Flickr that I've noticed and watched. I keep coming back to her photostream again and again. She has a beautiful soul and you can see that in her work. I like her funny side too. When I saw "Bug at First Site" I knew that I will like her. Now I'm her biggest fan!

    Thank you, for being a kind and generous sensei."

    "We had met only once, but our history was long. We met over the cyberworld so many years ago. I can still remember how fascinated I was with her friendliness, but then I can still remember how we bumped with each others ego of faith and beliefs' differences.

    But as both of us, especially Maruchan, try to keep the faith, and follow the golden rules of Heavenly God up there, and both really wanted to follow and try to apply what that is love, we made our ways to be close like this, and call ourselves friends. Glory to our dear God.

    Maruchan is so tasty, just like the variety of excellent pictures she have, you must taste her, and you'll know. Just don't bite her ~~~ hehehehe!

    And by the way, she is the reason why I enjoy my flickr so much. All credit goes to her."

    "She is born to laugh, full time entertainer, great host, loving friend, warm, and religious. There are many ways to describe her and the 'alias' says it all.

    Dear Maruchan,
    Stay as sweet as you are...
