This new life of mine is measured in countless, blessed and beautiful moments captured in photographs. The most pivotal one called 'December Gazing" and this one above of me infront of Buddy Guy's louge/club in Chicago July 2007 taken shortly after embarking on the greatest trip of my life, a trip and adventure to last a lifetime. Photography saved me in so many ways and now, for what it's worth, I live and breathe it. At a time when everything was out of control photography was the only thing I had control over. It's taught me to be/live in the present and not only capture but truly appreciate and savour the moment.
It's no wonder I'm rather passionate about photography; it lead me to Marshall, (a.k.a PhrankPower) the love of my life. Never did I ever dreamed or dared imagine I'd ever come to experience, let alone, dwell happily with a love of this breath and depth. I feel truly blessed and at times as Ebenezer Scrooge said "I don't deserve to be this happy!"
The galleries here continue to inspire me to do better as a photographer and to dream bigger dreams. The world is a vast beautiful and wild place, I thank you all for sharing pictures of your world and life. I appreciate your views and time. Comments for improvement is always appreciated and welcomed.
And be sure to... "Live like there's no tomorrow, love like you've never been hurt, dance like no one's watching."

Good thoughts indeed. So many people end up destroying themselves financially by financing debt on a credit card...or six...and it takes very little time to be in over your head. And the credit card issuers make it so easy to do this. The only time I borrow money from banks is for a mortgage or the leasing of a car. Otherwise, I pay cash for everything I buy. My philosophy is, if I have to finance it, I can't afford it, and I refuse to spend even more money by paying interest on my own debt with the exception of a mortgage. I have only one credit card, an American Express, and it's a direct debit from my account I have through my stock broker. I refuse to fall victim to wreckless spending at the invitation of a credit card company.

sigh Boy does this portrait bring it home with absolute clarity - even though you made it for a different reason, it means something else to everyone else! So true TerraDreamer! So true...

Nice thoughts and good advice. great picture too.

i was worried from the thumb that you could read the numbers.... good thinking. Maybe if the focus was on the first card the subject would be more easily portrayed - well how i see it is an endless stream of debt, with the first card being the only one in focus that would give the photo a lot more meaning. Nice concept and well presented :)

So true..especially during the Holiday Seasons..a very original presentation..

Wise words from one so young! Original and thought provoking. Well done!
TwoPynts
Great thoughts and creative idea here. I think landing the focus on the first card would have been good as well, but still a pleasure to view.

Neat concept for a photo and I like the way you think, it seems few feel that way toward debt any more. At the risk of showing my photographic ignorance I like the focus like it is. I think that had you placed focus squarely on the first card the eye wouldn't have been so easily lead down the path of the other cards. Very well done IMHO!
