It has become rather popular to alter one's photographs using Photoshop... The end result? Quite a number of images with other-worldly colors, noise, obvious filter use, etc... This also applies to images taken in color digitally then changed to black and white with use of a program.

..I DO NOT : edit ,crop, airbrush , photoshop, tweek in any manner my photos ~I get the shot or not~..on the very rare occaision I do anything to a photo I will note it... (I'm no photographer but but try to get a good photo & hope my photo turn out nice)

I am well aware of my lack of skill in spelling ,punctuiation & grammer ,Thank God that does not have any berring on intellect & the ability to think ,evealuate & formulate concepts ...so spare me the B.S.

( I also must note that I have ultra ultra limited computer skills , but via flickr am expanding my horizons ,slowly real damn slowly) ~SIGH~

*****************************************************************

So I guess we can start with the fact that I am NOT politically correct....other than that.... WOW am I ever a great guy!,hansom, friendly,intelligent bla...bla...bla... self indulgent bullshit bla..bla..so on N so forth,watever! --- Truth be told , I enjoy what holds my attentrion at the time,basically outside of the studio i enjoy a good movie ,am a,Fox news,History chan.,Discovery chan.,Learning chan.ETC... addict ~I watch assorted news channels to see how onesided they are & (rarely watchin' some silly cartoon thing , sit-com or talk shows & reality shows & wrass-ling are not real , not much of a sports fan as well,,, but I do like Cheerleaders:-). HaHaHaa...

****************************************************************

My faith is of the Born Again ,Spirit Filled,Child of The Living King Christian version (ya' otta' try it!!!).DO NOT LOOK AT ME AS A TEXT BOOK CHRISTIAN...you will be disappointed, but whats in my heart counts big time..... I am SO flawed I am thankful theres a Savior that loves me just as I am & inspires me to be a better person.

(should you be prayen' kinda Christian , pray for me)

~If you choose not to believe in God ,thats your choice ,REAL Christians know that God can make rocks praise His name ,but would rather you or I praise of our own accord.~

..believe or not is your choice ,and I dont judge as so many other will and wont bash you with scriptures & hound you to get right with God ...your on your own but if interested ask I will gladly share my beliefs and still not go for the forced autrician thing.

***************************************************************

Some would say I'm a great guy & to others a looser, there are some who call me hansom or sexy but to others I'm nothing special or evin homely, I try to be friendly. (ish) (some days thats tuff),and as far as intelligent well I'm no doubt "smarter than the average bear ,Boo Boo" !... not a druggie or a drinker ,I do party,& at times party hard !!!!! ..OH YEA , RRAAAAAGH!!!...("socially" only on the drinking,cept' on vacation when I am rourmered to get pretty totaled start to finish & have more than just inhailed often...! but cant stand to deal with dope fiends , pillheads, junkies , alcafreakinholics & other such loosers that need to just get clean and stay that way!!) ...being an artist ,I have had to do various "jobs" in the past to make ends meet but moast of my life Art has paid my way .

*****************************************************************

I try NOT to be involved in criminal shit, I wouldnt make a good inmate (yikes),, but do have a wild hair that flairs up at times & can become crude,rude & socially unacceptable !! At the drop of a hat I can be polite ,refined & cordial. I collect key-chains(lotz & lotz & lotz of key-chains!!!) I also enjoy flower gardening, Target shooting,clowning around with friends, fishing,chess,prospecting/treasure hunting ,rideing my vintage HD (Harleys are my fave. but would luv to own a Vespa or a Lambretta Scooter (kickin around on a CloneScooter currently too)and a Trail Bike would be nice ,I would luv to own a Triumph & a nice Royal Enfield too - I wont go into the Bikes , Scooters and other toys I would like to have , thats a pretty long list... and currently aint got the cash , just daydreams. -LOL-)

beatin'up my go cart thingie is fun, YEE-HAA!! ,photography & other art related subjects always hold my attention.

Having a bit of O.C.D. (O.K. possibly a tad more than a bit!!!) ,but more obsessive than compulsive.. Its odd for others to figure me out,I dont "blend" well & can be a bit loud N proud at times (dont confuse self assuredness with arrogance please! )Way too much LOUD music,open pipes & gunfire has taken its toll on my hearing,so I often dont hear people and this has been taken as being standoffish,not true,I'll talk to a tree if it will just shake its leaves from time to time.

~~If I marked someone as "FAMILY" I have had the pleasure of Tattooing that person...my thanks for such an opportunity to do that which luv , { please take care of my work ...Think-Zink !}~~
