All of my work is ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Do not use or re-post my photos, other images, or videos without my explicit permission.
If you see someone you think is posting my pictures- whether or not they link back- please let me know.
I use different watermarks depending on where I am posting my pictures, and those of you who follow me on multiple social media sites may see this. © Vi Figueroa, © turtlefly and © vifig are all legitimately me! :D So no worries about seeing those different watermarks on the same pictures.
I eat the air, promise-crammed.
The reason I take pictures is because that's how I see. There are just too many moments in my life where I'm walking and without meaning to, I spot and frame an area around me in my mind. I can tell my camera wants out but I try to ignore it and walk on by. The thing is, inevitably I find myself doubling back and pulling out my camera almost grudgingly, like, "okay, fine." The world is demanding to be captured. I am not so strong as to resist the call.
Rien au monde ne vaut qu'on se détourne de ce qu'on aime.
me & my figu, my dearest love <3

Lately I've been in a photographic slump or some kind of writers block for Photographers. Seeing turtleflys stream and photos gives me inspiration to start taking my camera with me again instead of leaving it at home on my desk. She has great work and a wonderful eye for photography and that is something to be admired which I do :) She inspires me to once again open my eyes to the world and the life around me and to try and capture it in it's most natural form.

Vi is a very creative photographer with a great eye for pictures. Her photos are cheerful and refreshing, and she has an amazingly cute dog with totally a mind of her own who adds some great comic relief to her photostream. Turtlefly♥ is also a great flickr friend, giving out excellent comments and generally making flickr a much nicer place for everyone that knows her. I've seen a lot of turtles, and a lot of flies, but there is only one turtlefly♥! She's an original.
