After I've been stolen, i don't have a camera anymore and I am not making photos anymore for a while. Sorry for the lack of updates

--
Why do I take pictures? I take pictures to prove to myself that the world is still beautiful, even when I'm not.
To express my feelings or my extreme point of view.

I enjoy a number of hobbies (you could see then above), but one of the things I like about photography is it's a hobby that can be incorporated into every other hobby and moments of life, i could take photography everywhere, making a moment stays forever (or at least I like to think so), capture my own history, for me or future generations...

My main point in photography is try to express my feelings and my life about it, but this is not a rule, just the main point of my photography. You can love it or hate it, I like it so this is why I am putting it on here. I would love to hear your critiques, but if my work is crap, please don't make your critique crap too, i prefer to hear substantial help.

I often have creativity lacks, they are more and more common now that my camera isn't working properly, that i don't have a pro account and I'm becoming more old (not necessarily in this order).

Oh, also, don't mind about what I've commented on your photo, is just my opinion, i don't will say on every comment that's my opinion, is just what I think, etc etc. If you don't like what i said, sorry, ignore or delete it if you think isn't appropriated, I was just trying to help you, regarding any lack of sympathy.

I love Flickr, this is one of my favorite places in the internet, I'm old skool member and anti-video too!

    "Jardel is supercool. He makes me want to run away to Brazil and live outside his house.

    I would spy on him and follow him everywhere. If I was really lucky, I might one day be able to touch him. Then I would just explode with delight.

    But I would be happy just watching. I'm creepy like that."

    "Jardel is an amazing photographer and model. He inspires me when needed. Although some may believe his artwork reveals suicidal thoughts, (haha just kidding) his work is nothing short of amazing (Even if all of it isn't in explore!)."

    brain tunnel says:

    "Jardel's work is mostly about as pure as it gets. Unaffected, unabridged by device or overly self-consiously treated. To me, whats cool about this, and in his work inparticular, is this natural state of curiosity and quite emotional introspection it evokes. Its very subtle, mysterious and perhaps decievingly sophisticated. Jardel smartly uses his physicality and physiognomy which portrays a youthful sexiness without being juvenial; enhancing and embracing both the masculine and feminine characteristics of the human condition. This is work that does not visually scream at you; instead, it simply, quitley, almost silently compells your attention."

    Mark Hiser says:

    "Jardel is a photographer in rapid growth. It is fascinating to look at his early images and compare them to those that are most recent. Such amazing growth in the technical aspects of photography, but also in his "creative eye" and expression. His self-portraits often capture a soft, innocent, sensitive side while hinting at the confident, powerful masculine side. Those portraits clearly hint that what we see is only the tip of the iceberg. They, therefore, cause us to stop and think."

    "Beez like fleurs, and if it had been a much much earlier time for this one, Jardel would have been snatched right out of his Calvin Kleins.

    Such as things are.... he takes beautiful nature shots that surprise."
