.......
Its not about getting paid for an image, its more about using photography to translate my vision of the world to the viewer.
However earning a few $ occasionally does help facilitate this (very) expensive hobby :-)
Welcome to my profile page and thanks for taking the time to look!
Me as a person......
A Humanitarian
In its most general form, humanitarianism is an ethic of kindness, benevolence and sympathy extended universally and impartially to all human beings. Humanitarianism has been an evolving concept historically but universality is a common element in its evolution. No distinction is to be made in the face of suffering or abuse on grounds of gender, sexual orientation, tribe, caste, age, religion, or nationality.
Humanitarianism can also be described as the acceptance of every human being for plainly just being another human, ignoring and abolishing biased social views, prejudice, and racism in the process, if utilized individually as a practiced viewpoint, or mindset.
Me as a Photographer:
I am not a documentary photographer, but I appreciate those who are. I consider myself an artistic photographer. My goal in landscape photography is well expressed in a quote by Ansel Adams.
“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.”
""Visual art is an atavistic human need".
"Through art we bare our hearts.
And see who looks with eyes of the soul"
"My photography is really an extension of my curiosity towards the world. I love to travel, experience new places, people and cultures.
"Photography for me is a passion, a mixture of science and art that creates magic. If a day goes by without photography, it’s incomplete"........well you know what I mean LOL
You will notice from from the amount of galleries that I have collated that I am extremely passionate not only about my photography but yours too!

"I for one could not compete with a top notch photographer, to me photography is an art with which I am comfortable. The camera and computer are just tools to acheive what your imagination sees. Mandy has been an inspiration to me for her talent to spot a good shot, and to take it to a new level through her unbelievable imagination and photographers eye. I love your work Mandy.... keep them coming !!!!!!!!!!!!"

"One of the most talented and versatile photographers I have ever known or known of. This woman's body of work is nothing less than stupendous. Mandy's photographic art 'needs' to be studied by anyone who has aspirations of going beyond merely very good. She works in no single genre, she has no single style…everything she attempts excels
Bravo!."7th July, 2012

"Unbelievable. Mandy's work and my late testimonial.
The former, a wonderful thing, the later, inexcusable.
Mandy has an incredible eye.
An incredible lust to pull out the most from each image.
You want to be where the photo was taken.
You want to be in the photo.
You feel the photo, but of course it leaves you wanting more.
Rich depth landscapes of nature and of human devices; color that pushes the edge and pulls you in.
Her technical expertise, her artistic creation, make magic.
She does not follow the beaten path, or the fresh path of the new direction of photography, she is making her own path.
My visits to Flickr are not complete without seeing recent work by Mandz. I always will look forward to seeing more.
Tom, a.k.a. Orbiting Sol"13th October, 2011
