Jes Garcia
Drag to set position!
To describe myself, I am your average guy trying to live life for what it is. My Photography/Art is very abstract and avant-garde, I tend to focus more on textures and harsh lighting .Some of my photographs may have strong stories and viewpoints, but it’s just an expression of my opinions. I mostly use film and keep my photographs “raw” what that means is that I DON’T tend to use many fillers with computer editing software’s such as Photoshop and other enhancing systems. I take my strive and empowerment from Ansell Adams and use old film / development techniques.

Perhaps I have a purpose in this life, but I have yet to find it, when I do I’ll keep you updated. I am a very easy going guy and I like mostly everything and anything, I’ll try anything once. Remember not be so harsh oneself and learn from the past to carry on to the future.

I live in “the life music capitol” of the world, known as Austin Texas. I love to travel (that’s why I work in the travel industry). Each year I go to 3-5 different destinations, I love to network and make new friends all over the world. I do some photography, yet I don’t showcase it on most websites; but don’t worry, I will still post some of art up in due time. Like I said before, I love making friends and networking, most of my friends on this site I have already met when I paid a visit to their city/town/province and I hope I get to meet you too one of these days. If you want to know more, just ask! :D

First of all I am sorry but I suck at things like this, I will do my best for you Jes. Well well well, where do I start.... this guy is seriously special, in many many different ways. The first thing you will notice when you come into contact with him, is that a smile will grow and not fade for hours. Even through words on a screen he has this power of instant warmth and happiness that will put you in a good mood. I kind of use Jes as a drug now, to cure sadness, anger and even boredom. My antidepressant. His photography has the same effect. His cheeky smile is perfectly depicted in his portraits which will sparkle a giggle inside of you. Did I mention he uses film?...no. Well he does. Need skill for that, and yes sir you have it. What I also love about Mr Wessie's photos is that everyone has a meaning in one way or another, for example "smoking break...". Even if he has not added a story I always manage to find my own for any of his images. Anyone can take shots and call it art but what Jes does truely is art. Jes has given such great feedback that is actually helpful opposed to inane comments like "good shot", or "nice!". I appreciate everything you have said Jes thanks so much. I hope to keep in contact with this dude... He is a wicked fella! Love from London mate. Killer! ;D p.s. told you I SUCK at this kind of thing :S I did my best! :D
