RetroCool's photostream

I will only have only up to 7 pages of artwork up at any given point in time.

This means, if you like a photo,the chances it being deleted down the line is highly likely...


A mystery to all.....

Sometimes one has to explore hard as to what one can do. I do not want to waste my time on things that I do not find important and concentrate what is.

I value the friends I have and those who do not find me as a friend any longer I value you still. No matter how petty or how much dislike you have for me (or I for you) we all live this one life and to waste it on something that is meaningless, has no point. Move on!

For those who stick around, I can only hope you understand the craziness that is within me. I am here for the now and hope for myself for the future. I apply what I know to everyday life and I hope you as well.

Photography, by any standards is art. The many people that take photos, digitally or analog, there is a passion that drives us to do more. Technology has surpassed us by leaps and bounds, by tomorrows end, there is something new and shiny that we all want to hold and all we can do, is do our best for what we have in our hands at this moment.

Am I great photographer? More or less the answer is a no. I can only hope to do well and be good at what I do. I look at those who are on this site (as well as other sites) for my inspiration. I look at those close to me as my guide. With out you or them, who am I? A blank page of sorts.....we all have our strong attributes and with this.. I push myself harder to become a better photographer. I will never understand and know everything that this type of art has to offer me, but I assure you, I will do my best to provide something special.

Special in a way, that I, myself can inspire you to do as well. Do I feel the need to take more photos? Yes, everyday I wake up in the morning in hopes that a new image will appear in front of my eyes by days end.

What drives my passion, I will never know. What I can tell you, this is part of myself being. It may be a little crazy, it even may be a little weird... but it is what it is and it will be what it will be.

Today is a new day, tomorrow will be too.
