Love the arts in all their forms: Fine Art, Music, Writing, etc. A traditional painter for many years, my introduction to painting on the computer came in 1999. As time goes by I find myself spending more and more time with my tablet and pen in hand. Guess I could have a worse addiction. Since the begining of 2006 I have immersed myself into the wonderful world of photography. I have learned so much in that time and feel ready to share my stuff with you now. I'm sorry I've been away so long, but stay tuned for a daily flood of my recent captures, :)
BIO
Hello everyone! My name is John Minelli.For as long as I can remember I have had a love of the arts in all of their forms and have been striving to be the be the best that I can be. Even though I have been creating art for many years, I still feel like an infant. I find it fascinating that every time that I pick up a brush, pencil or tablet and pen I still learn something new. Although I live in Savannah, GA, USA., I have a great love of Europe; especially Italy. I spent several years working in the Middle East and took several vacations in Europe. I fell in love with Rome and plan on going back to Italy as soon as possible.

This is about as close as I'd care to get, thanks...I hope this was done with a big telephoto lens! Great details!

A wonderful capture and I'm glad he was snoozing as he came right out of my screen. Marvellous details in zoom.

Oh, good lord, what a creature. I agree, glad he is just in my screen and not in front of me. Great capture, excellent execution!

Looks to me as though he is sleeping with a smile on his face. Perhaps he is dreaming of eating photographers. A great shot, and I've never seen one of these up close and personal before.
