My pictures are therapy for me. They help me deal with the things that haunt me and they make me happy. Anything that makes you happy is good. I am constantly amazed, humbled and grateful that anyone looks at what I shoot.

Im trying to stretch and grow as a photographer. PLEASE tell me the brutal truth about my pictures!!! If they are crap, let me know!!! I want to get better!

If you know me or figure out who I am, I would deeply appreciate not using my name on here. Please don't share this with mutual real world friends without asking me. People who REALLY know me have no problem finding this. If they dont find it on their own, their either dont know me that well or dont care to. Either way, what is here is not for them. This is a different, safe place for me. Please don't take that away. I am very responsive to flickrmail if you feel compelled to contact me.

I try to keep up on contacts but the new way of not putting them in mail drives me crazy! If I dont recontact you its because I forgot to check contacts. I dont hide any pictures other than "originals" to show before and after so dont feel like you are missing anything because you are a "contact" and not "friends and family." There are no secret super naughty pictures!

If I blocked you its probably because you have commented on one of my pics while making your entire photostream private. That seems sus to me. Or maybe you said something really nasty. Or maybe I am just off my head. In any case, I did. I have only blocked a handful of people but they all know why and most were given a second chance by being immediately unblocked. Its sad that almost every long time user of flickr has to talk about blocking.
