thank you for all the inspiration and support. flickr friends are amazing! you've really opened up my eyes to the world of photography! heck, without you i wouldn't even know what bokeh is =)

recognizing that i am a man among giants of photographic talent on flickr, i welcome any constructive criticism. please feel free to let me know if you think something could be cropped or post-processed better or if a different angle or technique could have made for an even better shot. i'm always striving to improve and really appreciate any advice, esp. when it's free =)

i'm a part-time graduate student geek with a camera. as such, there will be times when i don't post or comment for days or weeks so please don't take offense. so it goes.

i'm also a gadget freak with a bad case of L disease:
