  "If I have children in the future and I tell them about my inspirations and great persons in my life like artists, actors, musicians, politicians, things and events, art and music that have touched me emotionally, Archie FlorCruz will be included.
  Over the years Archie has emerged from the deep canyons of cyberspace. Most of his recent work can be seen on his photoblog whateverland.com. He now exhilarates an audience around the world and is a most favorable photographer.
  But what's the secret behind this 30-year-old visionary? It's hard to tell. I think you can't describe Archie and his work in a few words. You have to experience him.
  When I first stumbled upon his photoblog, I was amazed by his way of capturing things happening in his daily urban Chicago life. All those different coloured spaces, shapes and textures really ignited a level of passion in me, that was probably laying dormant but was there the whole time! I wouldn't say Archie's the reason why I started photography. Rather, he's the one who made me lose any sort of fear or doubt about just doing it.
  Archie has a similiar taste for urban, often abandoned spaces, light and design much as I do. One interesting thing to note about Archie is the fact that some of his photos tell us a lot about his mood or there are just stories going on, even if it's not meant to be like this at first glance.
  Just knowing that there's somebody on the other side of the planet who has the same thoughts and maybe even similar feelings about life and imagery help me make my dreams come true. Even all these words cannot express how much he means to me."

  "Whateverwhat? Years ago as I turned a corner in my photography and was starting to get serious about it for the first time I stumbled upon Archie's photoblog and was in awe of his ability to capture urban landscapes. It was if the city was a person, sitting for a portrait, and Archie was that photographer. Fast forward to a few years later, I'm in the same city as him now, and I understand how he got his camera to pull of MOST of his shots. But I'm still in awe of his eye!"
