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."

Lovely work, excellent use of light! Cropping should ALWAYS be optional and depends on how the subject speaks to you.

i like the lighting on this flower, the way some of it is in the shade but you can still see detail. like it very much...

when i saw the thumb, i first thought it was a fractal pic. a very striking image.

I thought it was a fractal at first, too. Cosmically amazing shot, lil_sizzler; I agree wholeheartedly with your decision to leave this big, as it looks gorgeous and the large size allows for alot of detail that would be lost if this had been shrunken or cropped. The inventive lighting really makes the colors stand out. Brilliant!

I opened this render and the word that popped out of my mouth was "wow!" I said forward and backwards!!! This one in an immediate favorite. The lighting is superb, the colors are rich! the center of focus in this render is apparent. The pollen stem just stands out. Looks to me like a one light shot but waht a shot!!!

Verging on being an abstract too, the bold colors against the dark background are very good.
