“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”

This isn't about photo snobbery or pixel wanking. It's just about the joy of photography.
I am 28 years old and have been in photography for going on 6 years now, my grandfather was a great photographer and I was always interested in his work but what really got me into photography was when I started playing around with myspace and trying to make an awesome profile picture .I discovered photoshop so started out with photo manipulation then grew more into nature and sprouted off to just about every type of photography in these past 5-6 years. I honestly can not say what category I would prefer because I see beauty in all. photography has really opened my eyes to the simplicity of the beauty around us--it soothes my mood and comforts my soul. I am currently living in central Oregon, this is a wonderful place with allot of natural beauty to photograph.I photograph in all fields of photography.i do not like to limit myself to any one category.Every picture I present to you ..holds a piece of me in it .and I hope you enjoy viewing as much as I enjoy capturing the moments .

The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking.
I am a loving person and like to place others before me sometimes...but IF you try to walk on me I will tear you down as fast as I can build you up...I choose to be nice but can be onry

I received an invite to be a contact to Jeri's account and have enjoyed seeing her work since then. As another person wrote, it is an inspiration to see how she goes out into the world and actively pursues her craft. Her photostream appears below mine when I sign in so I can always see her latest works. She really has maximized not only the way she uses Flickr, but the way in which she reaches out to other people. It is a great gift to be so friendly and her approach makes the world seem a lot smaller!
Read lessThe first thing that came into my mind when I visited Jeri's photostream was "wow". She is a very talented photographer, and she is especially talented at macro photography and generally shots that are a little "unusual" She is also one of the nicest people on flickr, which is always a plus! ;)
I used to think that people who made 'friends' on the internet were a bit odd...... then I saw Jeri,s stream and dropped her an email about something...... she replied and that was the start of what is turning out to be a great friendship.

I used to think that people who made 'friends' on the internet were a bit odd...... then I saw Jeri,s stream and dropped her an email about something...... she replied and that was the start of what is turning out to be a great friendship. Jeri is an inspiration, she's a hardworking mum and wife who still manages to find the time to take great photographs and help out and do great things for technophobes like me. She's warm kind and seriously talented and I for one am very honoured and proud to be her friend . If you reading this have any sense, you'll want her to call you a friend too.... You're the best Jeri :-)

‘INSPIRATIONAL’ It's quite easy to use the word 'inspirational'; to bandy it around; to be blasé when using it as a descriptive comment about someone's work. However when that person's work truly inspires you; when it makes you look again and more deeply at the imagery, the techniques, the style; when it even wants to make you go out and try get that same shot, then ‘inspirational’ is a very apt description when it comes to the photography of Jeri Leandera. Each new set of photos brings forth comments such as: “Wow, look at that!” “How did she achieve that?” “Fancy being there, at that point in time, to be able to get that shot.” Yes, I have been inspired and so Jeri’s work is for me “INSPIRATIONAL”.
