Nikko Myers' photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

I’m a published wannabe photographer. I still laugh when I think that someone actually wanted one of my photos for a book. I think what really happened was that they got close to closing time and they needed a few last photos and I fit the bill + I work cheap...

LiZ Editions' Pink Attitude... liz-editions.com/en/books/8/pink_attitude.html

I will always be a point and shoot photographer at heart. Even with my fancy Canon EOS 40D I’m still a point and shoot photographer 50% of the time. The good thing is that I now understand RAW processing and only shoot in RAW. Because of Tom (WtB (Watch the Birdie)), I'm shooting more in manual mode for portraits, which is challenging because I'm still learning what settings effect what. I’m learning more and more every week on how to take a better photograph, and every once in a blue moon I actually pull one off. My girlfriend Lisa has been good at being patient with me while I experiment (she’s my model) and learn. I’ve been amazed at how much looking at others photos on here has helped. I’m even more amazed at how giving most people on this system are about critiquing my photos, giving me tips, and advice – Thanks to all of you.

95% of my photos I'd say are pure rubbish - they're here for backup and my amusement... If you like them, you could be a twisted individual...

4.99% of my photos I'd say are so, so at best...

0.01% of my photos I'd say actually have some merit to them but your comments will be the judge of that...

I'm 100% Greek, 100% Man and Taken.

"Nikko does a fantastic job of showing humor in his photography. Just looking on his photostream can brighten my day. He is so talented and creative and looks cool no matter what color he changes himself to...(although the purplish pink one is my personal favorite!) I'm definately looking forward to seeing more of his work in the future!"

"Hidden depths, bemusingly philosophical for an American, prolific, energetic.... and takes some great shots... but y'know real men don't eat quiche babe!
I'm still English so what do I know..."

"I really have no idea who Nikko is. I remember I saw one of his Hulk pics in some color a few months ago. Then we did the inviting/commenting-dance, as usual. But, looking at his photos he just seems like a really nice guy, there is an air of just niceness all around him :D A lot of fav shots from him, definitely."

"Nikko has a great sense of who he is and his pictures show a great, lively spirit. His pictures of food make you hungry and drool on your keyboard. His pictures in motion (such as the newly posted pelican) make you want to be a better photographer. I get a real kick out of cruising his photostream to see what's next. He's a friend and a great photographer and I'm happy to know him. I can't gush enough because he is very humble and quite generous with his comments. So, if you have a moment please stop by and check out his array of stunning and fun work."

"Although I don't know him personally, I have a feeling if I met Nikko on the street I would throw him a high five. I love his energy and sense of humor in his shots. I always look forward to more gritty, Rollins like self portraits and pictures of birdies. Good times!"
