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."

I find your commentary very illuminating and though there is humor when it comes to bystanders, having found myself many times in similar shoes. From a technical point, know that a telephoto lens would not have provided you with a sharp image throughout the length of the dragonfly, so your efforts have paid off more than handsomely. The dragonfly is a species I am not familiar with right off hand, but feel its beauty is that of a jewel and your image has immortalized its life. I am downloading the image to my favorite folder. Thank you for sharing. egmont

Never before saw such a color scheme on a dragonfly. The browns and yellows work so well here. Down south ours are more green & blue; at least the ones I've always seen since a child. Nice catch.
