Photography and digital art are my favorite hobbies. I love learning and practicing both. Sometimes I get it right, sometimes not. And that's OK. It's all part of the process. I also love playing with colors, textures, and different backgrounds. For the most part, a photo is merely the start of the creative process for me. I love playing around in Lightroom and Photoshop to see what I can come up with. It's great fun!!

I have a day job that requires a lot of my time, such that it's hard to find time to take photos and practice my other hobbies, plus take care of everyday business around the house. Because of all that, I'm not as active on Flickr as I used to be. I do love looking at everybody's photos, but I'm not gonna lie....most of the time I just fave and run. It's merely a time issue for me.

On a side note, I'm here to be inspired! If by chance, someone finds my work inspiring, then that's great!! If not, oh well. Some folks are way too caught up in a numbers game of followers, likes, comments, etc. I used to be one of those people, but some things happened in my life that made me change my perspective on well, everything. So to that I say......take photos. Do your thing. Have fun. Post them on social media if desired and if someone faves or comments, great. If not, it's OK. Do you like the photo? That's all that matters. Me? I would take photos even if no one ever looked at them. That's how much I love it. I have thousands of photos in my personal library and it's growing. People will never see most of them. And I'm fine with that. Photography makes me happy!
