When I first started on flickr, photography was a narcissistic hobby, but little more. What it became was something I couldn't have expected: a window. A window into the beauty of life, the chaos of my own self, the love of my friends and family, and the great growth that resides within great pain. I pour everything I am into my photography, and I hope that it gives a little bit of that to you.
There is a big gap in time in the middle of this feed and I could start over, but I would rather keep the archive of where I've come from as I continue forward with my own personal art process. From now on, you can expect a mix of both personal and grad-school work.

Elaine's photos are magnificent. I feel like almost every one of them should deserve the highest spot on the Explore section. She has soul. So much soul. Whenever she picks up a camera, the possibilities become endless. Its truly amazing. Her editing skills are off the charts as well. She seems like such a facinating person and I'd love to meet her one day. She simply seems like she could be an amazing friend, someone who truly understands and will listen to all you have to say. Basically, she has talent. And a lot of it. Her photos really reflect that. I am so blessed to know her and call her a friend of mine.

Elaine is an absolutely fantastic photographer, no doubt about it, no questions asked. She has an INCREDIBLE knack for conveying her emotions so seamlessly in her photos that it can make you laugh or cry out loud. More importantly than an artistic eye, however, is that she is a great friend to many, and is even shown in her photography. She pours just about everything she's got into her photos, so prepare to be amazed!

Elaine is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever met. I'm just so amazed by her. So honored to have her in my life. Her pictures are pieces of art that make me feel, I feel something in every single pictures of hers. Then it comes to her words, those words that make me believe that I am someone. She's truly becoming one of my best friends, not just a flickr friend, but a true best friend. She stuns me with the things she says, somehow she makes me think, somehow gets into me and pulls out what needs to be pulled out. I'm so so blessed to have her in my life. She's so wise and so caring and real. There is a light about her, something that makes me want to have a light too. Honestly in the end she's one of the most amazing people, and artist, you'll ever meet.

I honestly can't think of many people i respect in the art world as much as elaine... Nope not many at all :) She is able to convey so many emotions through amazing images and color (not to mention the way she colors her photography blows me away constantly) and i always can look forward to a new laineybean/elaine/pucca original. Everything looks so effortless, while at the same time its obvious how much skilled attention she puts into everything. plus, working with her is so much fun! She's been nice enough to put up with my oddities and comes up with some of the most interesting ideas. She's definitely an amazingly beautiful person inside and out, which reflects in every one of her pictures :)

Elaine is extremely mature and thoughtful as an artist. She creates photographs that always convey a beautiful emotion or time of place. Her work since I've known her has gotten better and better, and I'm always left curious what she is going to create next. A true photographer and an artist that will go far in this world - that is of no doubt to me :) As great of an artist as she is, she is also one of the most caring, generous, and amazing people that I've ever known. Even though she lives on the complete opposite end of the world, she always manages to be there for me whenever I've needed it. I can only hope I do the same for her, as I care about her just as much as the friends I have at home. She deserves all those generous donations and job offerings she is getting right now. I am ever so lucky to know her and to have her be apart of my life. Friends forever! And Elaine, I have the transporter half-way built. It just needs to go through security test-runs haha ;)
