Flickr seems to encompass so many of my interests: #1 creativity, art, make-up, hair, modeling, lighting, photography, etc. I love the community of reciprocation here and the positivity we send back and forth. I love the feedback I get, I love browsing others' beautiful art. Flickr stimulates my creativity - me!

And just a note: HOW I PICK MY CONTACTS

#1) The artistic communication: Is this stuff interesting enough that I would like to look at it every day?

#2) The humor/stories: Do I like the things you have to say and the stories you have to tell?

#3) or should this be #1? (Except I make exceptions to this rule too frequently for it to be #1) - Can I set your work as wallpaper on my computer desk top? For those of you who post in settings that don't allow "All Sizes" and I still put you in as a contact - it's because I really really like your work!

#4) I view your contacts, groups, and photostream to get an idea of who you really are. If it looks like you are picking my site for nefarious purposes I will block you. I've only done that twice, though I think..... I think the people I'm attracted to/attract are uplifting and positive and I appreciate your talents and your personality.'

#5) Family is just a given: you're in automatically. Luckily I really like what ya'll have to show and tell too! (Now I will laugh if any of you actually read this and respond to it!)

I just wanted to let ya'll know a little of what makes me tick and why I do the things I do...
