Chris Da SaXmAn's photostream

Graphic artworker by day (it's sound more exciting than it is... sat on my bum behind a Mac all day making s**t shine }:0)>) and currently playing in a Soul / Blues Covers band I formed with some friends & ex band mates called Lost Soul Brothers (Lost Soul coming from my Lost Souls collection/group) done a few gigs and kicking major butt... yours truely on Tenor Sax.

I'm finding this site very inspirational, so has fired me up to take more pics, most of which, dear people, do require minor tweeks of Photoshop... the metering on my EOS, no matter what, auto or manual, always under exposes... so don't be shy of unsharp mask, curves, levels. All those nice friendly layer adjustments are there as your friends... you won't see too many over the top PS works here as I do PS most days at work the last thing I want to do is mess my photos up, I like to keep them as pure as possible, but every now and then I get the urge!!

I'm self taught with the camera... or in other words "Another Twit with a digital camera" I find we don't all need courses and degress, just imagination and a feel for things, some of the best pics i find in flickr are by people like myself, open, free thinking and doing it for theirselves... so go create, enjoy, be inspired and inspire.... Now having an account here for a while, I won't post on "I'll Post, If you comment on 2 or more (that you don't really like: But it's the rules)" pools, meaningless, souless, non comments usually, a cheap fix, and best avoided for integrity my flickr friends... do I sound like a grump }:0P>

Also... and I must admit that to every one photograph up on my account there's probably another 150 that just don't make the grade (so a lot of pictures!), this is the cream of what I've done so far. So kids, don't chuck any ole s**t up there, be selective and patient }:0)>

Thanks for popping by... now go and look at ALL of my pictues... he he!

And PLEASE people, there's more to life than Macro Flower Photography,,, get out of the garden and explore, y'hear!
