Sarai | Fotography's photostream |
My name is Sarai. I've always been in to photography, but I hadn't actually started taking pictures until the mid of 2007. I am self taught.
Photography is my new found passion and obsession. I think about it ALL the time. I can't seem to get enough of it. I feel that it helps me to get away from everything. But at the same time it also excites me, it gives me an opportunity to express myself in a different way. It opens up a portal through which I can portray all my emotions and thoughts. And more importantly, it gives me a way to honor the memory of my brother Ismael who I love and miss dearly.
I'm a very easy going person. I'm very silly and I laugh a lot. I believe in treating others as I'd like to be treated, so I'll always treat you with respect. I'm interested in all kinds of art forms. I love reading. I speak both English and Spanish, so feel free to speak in either one.
Para todos aquellos que solo hablan Espanol, sientanse libres de usar solo Espanol conmigo. Es mi primer idioma. :)
I want to thank everyone who has encouraged me. All of them, family and friends, you guys know who you are. I love you guys.

Unfortunately, I have to add this. If you don't have any photos available for viewing, belong to too many creepy groups, faves are all of children or your photostream has pornographic images I will block you.
Do NOT use any of my images without my written permission.
Some of my manipulations are available for prints but through Deviantart.com only. If you're interested, please click here.

Sarai is also gifted in her captures and manipulations, she is willing to share her talent with all those who wish to learn. This is the special quality which makes Sarai a wonderful and endearing flickr friend. She embodies the motto "sharing is caring."

"I've been meaning to write a testimonial for Sarai for soh long, but never really got around to writing it..Anyhow here goes! :)
Sarai is one of the most generous, compassionate and sweet people I’ve come across on flickr. She is a beautiful person with a gift from God; to connect with people with her empathetic approach or a thoughtful gesture. Her gentle personality shines through her photography/ Digital art. And “Modesty” should be her nick name! :)
I admire her not only for her amazing talent but also for her unprecedented persona. She is a fighter. She is someone who knows how to face her fears even if that means by taking baby steps. I don’t know her personally but this is what I see her as when I sail through her gorgeous photo-stream.
Sarai, I wish you all the best for future endeavors and want you to know that you’re a gem of person and then a photographer who just makes everybodys’ day by her lovely photography & digital art!
Keep smiling and rocking flickr! \m/
:)"24th August, 2009

Pink Pixel Photography (f.k.a. Sunny) says:
"Sarai quickly has become one of my favorite flickr contacts to follow. She has improved so much in such a short time that it's hard to believe ;) Seems like her talent has no limits, she does amazing people and portrait as well as bokeh shots. Lately she has started doing photo manipulations and I'm such a huge fan of her work, it's inspiring and thoughtful.
She is also providing free textures and brushes that are so pretty and useful for many many people including me :) Thanks for that!!!
But she's not only a great artist, she is a warmhearted, loyal and adorable person. I am so glad that I've found her here on Flickr. It almost feels like we are friends although we are an ocean apart (how cheesy *lol*).
Seriously, I love you girl! You rock!!!
Keep up the great work
Love, Sunny"30th March, 2009

"Sarai, thank you for being such a huge inspiration... your photography is superb but I especially love your recent voyage into the world of manipulations, they are truly wonderful! You have made me want to try them... so expect emails begging for advice. :) Also, thank you for your constant support and friendship, you make this a better place for me and no-doubt hundreds and thousands of others. One request, no more cutlery on Friday 13th please. :-D Much love, Claire xoxo"

"I'm writing this because Sarai paid me to err well not really she's broke. :`( Firstly I want to say, sincerity is a rare treasure that you want to hold on to tightly if you so happen to find it amidst the sea of pretence. Her intent, passion & creativity resonates powerfully through her work delving from the bottom of her heart. Sarai, I know you will find the strength to face those demons that are in your life. If nothing else, remember this. "When all is said and done, more is said than done." and this "Nothing is impossible, Impossible is nothing.""

In every picture of her you can feel emotions and a deep passion for the world. I love being one of her friends and having Sarai like one of my favourite!"15th November, 2008

"Sarai tends to leave me completely spellbound and in awe. her photographs are sort of like a waking dream, a life in which i just want to continually delve into and hold my breath thankfully. Absolutely talented, in so many more ways than the lens of a camera."

"Sarai is amazing! She's the nicest person you'll ever meet, ever, and she's a GREAT photographer. She can turn anything into a piece of art. I wish I could think of more to say... but there just aren't enough words to describe her wonderfulness. Just remember her name, because one day everybody in the world will know it. =]"

"I think that silver does have a unquie way of capturing pictures, along with her poems that makes her photography beautiful artwork ... Even I think that maybe someday she will probably get her worked published either in a book or magazine... I just want to say Keep up the good work that you do Silver, I'm sure that your brother is smiling from heaven .."
