I've had so many Flickr accounts that I've created, never used, and then lost the passwords for, that it's kind of insane.

I'm not the worlds best photographer and I don't care. Photography has become my ultimate stress reliever.

You know when you have those days when it seems like the world is 100% out to get you? Or those days when you're in such a horrible mood that nothing seems to shake it? Or stressed to the point where you want to pull your hair out?

Those are the days I take photos. Grabbing my camera has become the #1 way I relieve stress and cheer myself up. I don't take other people, and rarely go out for group events for photos. I like to be alone, looking through the camera, and trying to find something interesting about the world. Or something pretty. Or capture the ugly. I always come back feeling better.

Occasionally I will take photos for friends, but it's always for free (or a beer!) and for fun. I never watermark because if my photos make you happy, then I'm happy.

Granted, if in some weird way someone would like to use my photos for "commercial" use or whatever, I'd appreciate a heads up. =)
