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."

So, for sure you have to classify this in the "Historical" Genre ! Thanks for sharing ! Great tribute to the American spirit ! :~)

I remember, looking back at this, I always found the towers odd looking compared to everything else around them, thinking, "All these cool buildings, and then a couple of big 'sticks' sticking out of the ground". But now when I look at NYC skyline pictures, Im thinking, "Sure looks strange without those "big sticks" sticking out of the ground" Great "passing by" shot. E

I think it's a great reminder of where the world was and where the world is today. It is a reminder that not only the New York landscape changed but the world landscape changed. Things are not the same anymore and I wish many of us will remember that. There are people out there who not only wanted to change the landscape of New York but of the whole world.
