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."

Wonderful picture !!

I have visited cemeteries since I was a child...for funerals, contemplation and to write poetry...later to investigate hauntings. But I still love to explore them in snow...this is a magnificent shot! Very crisp.

They are usually extremely peaceful places that invite contemplation - far off from all the noise of daily life - people speak with muted voice - and yes I get what you're saying. Nice shot - though I wonder (haven't taken any photos of snow for a looong time, how this image would have appeared with a long exposure time...! Not a point of critique - just thinking out loud.

Strangely, this looks very familiar, like a graveyard in Oregon. Excellent capture and mood.

Wonderful winter scene and it looks fabulous in B&W. Great work and a nice series! You got that right! ... each day I think it's better to be over the hill, than under it!!

Especially when they have such nice sitting areas. I know what you mean precisely. This snow capture is wonderful. If you exposed it a long time like kj says it would make the snow blur the image out, and white balance would go wild. I like it this way.

This image really captures the feeling you describe, there is no more peaceful a place where one can find solitude and condolence than to visit and contemplate those who have passed before us. A very beautiful image.

Serene and oddly eerie too.
