Maggie-Me's photostream  

I have had a couple people ask me if they could buy an image or if they could use in some manner (wow)
Here is my answer, I have no interest in getting into a commercial arrangement with any of my images, if you like an image that much then feel free to download, all that I ask is that you ask permission, tell me how or why you want to use it and send me a link to the finished product.
I Will not give permission if you want to use just for porn or any other questionable reasons.


Boston
55++ years old

just a frustrated "artist" who doesn't know how to draw or paint but try's to show his feelings of life and experience the best way he can.

Most of my insperation comes from a melding of pictures and quotes that have appealed to me.. then the ideas start flowing and evolve to what I produce.

Althouht Photography has been a love for 35+ years because of time allowances I have become obsessed with Digital Art using various tools... this has been a facinating journey during 2009

Doing Photography and digital art for about 35 years, now using Nikon D80 since May.

Relearning all I have forgotton and starting on a new journey of discovery, join me..



*** I have decided to block people who favorite any or my images when they have nothing in thier photostream, I don't have many nudes but it is creepy when they get favorited by people who only collect them and contribute nothing on thier own, if they start sharing then I will be glad to unlblock***

**I apreciate when someone adds me as a contact, but would be nice if you leave a note explaining why!**


I truly believe that....


Photoshop...
Hook me up with a great photographer, a clever stylist and an expert retoucher, and together we create a beautiful illusion.
-- Heidi Klum

Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.
Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947), Dialogues (1954)

"Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited and the wealth and confusion man has created."

Edward Steichen (1879 - 1973)

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. ~Leonardo da Vinci

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for. ~Georgia O'Keeffe

Art is your personal diary where you may color your thoughts and emotions on a page. ~Sara, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999

Art is an adventure that never seems to end. ~Jason, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999

What was any art but a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself - life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose. ~Willa Cather

A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened. ~Albert Camus
