**To those who find themselves wandering through this gallery:**

You didn’t stumble here by accident. Maybe it was the lure of shadow and shimmer, or just the kind of night that needed something unsaid. Either way, you’re here now, trailing fingerprints across the glass of my thoughts.

Flickr is my after-hours haunt the place I return to when the lights go low and the mind gets loud. I’m no longer chasing collaborations; the curtain’s fallen on that part of the show. Second Life? Left it behind like a half-smoked cigarette in a downtown ashtray. No hard feelings, just life dimming the lights and me slipping out the back door, heels clicking quietly into the fog.

But this place… this is where I still breathe in monochrome dreams and exhale them in grain and contrast. A gallery of glances, silhouettes, and stories only the moon understands. I may not join the dance anymore, but I’m still watching, still creating, still here—with a smile in the shadows and a soft spot for kind strangers.

So take a look. Stay a while. And if something lingers with you, well… maybe that’s just the kind of secret we’re both meant to keep.

**Signed with a smudge of red and a wink you’ll never quite forget.**
