"Flickr is for showcasing your photographic art & giving constructive comments, not for suckin' up."
By profession I'm into online media/web design/motion graphics & I'm self taught in this field with natural aesthetics.
About photography; If you ask me, I'm just an amateur with a P&S camera; well this was before I got my first DSLR. As of May 27th, 2009 I got Canon EOS 450D / Digital Rebel XSi (Me & my friend have named it Bugsie) along with 50mm F1.8 II which I hardly take off & aperture is always stuck at F1.8 just like other addicts of 50mm. But I am still an amateur, im learning through my mistakes, your encouragement and criticism but mostly I go with my instincts =)
After stepping into the world of rich colors, amazing environments and stunning lights, my photographic interest have developed towards macros & low light photography and recently; I have gone crazy for bokehs as well.. a special thanks to a very good flickr friend who is an inspiration to me =)
My inspirations are sky, clouds, depth of the sea, ocean waves, sky at night, stars, roses, rain, dreams...
Your comments are welcome, if you like a photo, feel free to drop a comment and if you like to criticize... go ahead & do so ; )

Please do not be offended if I don't mark you back as a contact; its just that I don't want my current contacts to be left out, If you've visited my photo & left a comment I will surely visit yours whenever I get a chance.

I haven't been on flickr long, but it's time I jumped in and wrote a few words about the photographers and artists that inspire me in some way. When I first found Usmans photostream, like many others, I was completely captivated by his use of low light and color.. but then I looked deeper. There are those that truly have a special gift that defies words.. they photograph from their heart. They 'see' from their heart. This is something that cannot be taught, only shared. Since I've always felt that beauty is best experience when shared, I'm happy to call Usman my friend.. for he not only shares incredible beauty, he takes the time to really *look* at others work, rather than make what I call 'drive by comments'. May you always walk in beauty Usman, and thank you for sharing your unique talents and gifts.

Usman is my bokeh king!!.....:P I believe I found him on Front Page since he practically lives there. It was love at first sight....*cough..cough* ahem I meant with his beautiful stream :P I'm truly honored and very grateful to have met him here through Flickr. He's such a genius and truly gifted artist who produces one of the most amazing streams on Flickr land. When I first met him, he only had his lil P&S buddy whom I call his magic wand. If you look at his photos taken before he got his DSLR camera, you'd know what I'm talking about....I have lost some hair since I had been scratching my head hard,but still could not figure out how the heck did he do it? :P He's incredibly talented and I'm always amazed at his tremendous work and his ability to awe you with each one of his postings. He has intuitive ability to capture and create beauty from simple flowers and droplets and make them to beautiful art that touches people's heart. Each time when I visit his stream, I always feel myself turning into this little tinker bell, flying in his enchanted bokeh dreamland and having a magical fun ride. He's one of the sweetest person I know. I'm always looking forward to his visits as he always takes time to view your photos, leaves you such genuine and heartfelt comments that are very much appreciated. He's always so very helpful to others too when it's needed. I'm sure you all feel the same way as I do if you're his contracts. Thank you so much Usman for your encouragement and thank you for being such a sweet friend. You are such a wonderful inspiration to me every day! xoxo

Usman aka Quadvision is a massive bolt of creative energy, which just keeps thriving with every new post. His flamboyant photostream is a sheer example of that. Undeniably he’s the ‘King of bokeh’, stuns us with his superlative post processing and what not! Recently he gave us another reason to fall in love with his stuff, like those dreamy cloud shots, child portraits and manipulations! =) They’re highly inspirational and also therapeutic! He’s not a photographer, I recently got to know that..*shakes head* He`s a wizard who knows how to create beauty to gratify our senses thoroughly, who'd brighten up your day by a mere visit through your photostream and lift you up to the 7th sky by his carefully crafted sweet comments! =) I hope you get your dream camera soon, can’t wait for you to completely conquer flickr! Besta luck in doing that! ;)
