luisa_m_c_m_cruz's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

It's time to rewrite my profile because I'm not the same Luisa Maria I was a year ago.
Flickr made me discover a brand new world...photography...a way to write with light....to feel and share emotions.
I wish I could travel all over the world and share the way I feel things, I see colors.
I'm still a teacher, a mother, a reader, a daughter, a woman, a wife, a student of light and details, a cooker, not necessarely by that order, as my husband says.
... Always in search of new ways to be happy....creative...unique...me.

Ten Directions says:

"Luisa's photographs are vibrant with loads of colour, light, and joy. The accompanying quotes for the images always give one food for thought. This is one of the best places to be on flickr."

pixability says:

"Consistently stunning photographs. Her artistic eye acts as a teacher for me in that her photostream has taught me much about color, composition, and the beauty all around us.

Her corner of the world appears to be one of the most extrodinary places on the planet, but I suspect thats because we get to see it through Luisa's eyes. Seeing what she posts next is always a true pleasure."

"Luisa.

I have to thank www.flickr.com for providing an opportunity for me to know her on the net.

Since she become a member, she have been consistently visiting all great Images Artists on www.flickr.com . The old saying is that if a person is good at learning & observing other great master piece, one would be a great artist too.

I can assure you that she is one of the rare gem on the net. You nee to visit her here more often to discover yourself!!

I appreciate your everything..."

Creativity+ Timothy K Hamilton says:

"Luisa has only been on flickr since November 20, (45 days) and already has received as many as 56 comments on ONE photo from admirers. Her range of subject matter is enormous. From seascapes to little nooks in cities, from animals to people. All have the same intrinsic sense of charm and design."
