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."

Interesting story....

Excellent. I like foreground trunk and leafy shadows on the soft looking snow. Has a sort of colorized look.

You could have bought the shovel and whacked him. However...I like your muttered thoughts. You got a nice result from this photo. Thanks for sharing.

I love the look of snow on a suburban street at night. I hadn't thought much about it but yeah, I don't remember seen snow chains outside of the Pacific Northwest much... I think they rely a lot on salting and taking "snow days" in other parts of the country :-)great shot.

I like snow... I miss the snow I wish we would get that much here but that does not happen much any more. :( Buy some Sorrels and a parka and go make snow angels!

The perfect night winter street scene! Brings back fond memories of my time up North - when I didn't have to drive!

A very beautiful snowy nighttime image! This instantly brought to mind a song from a Japanese group called "Dreams Come True", one of the few the lead singer does in English. I like Vile's idea too! Hope it's warmed up a bit.
