This is an amazing piece of art to me

the colors... beautiful

Do you see what I see???

unless you are laying down on the street or looking at this picture... probably not...

this tree looks much like the tree of life to me,

very bright, vivid and full of life

the lone flower that caught my eye

Campus life, what you see is what you get

I'm sure many of you dont know this about me,

but this happens to be, one of my most favorite flowers

Tropic thunder :)

So fearless... this lil guy let me walk right up to him,

and when he realized I didnt have any food,

he scolded me, turnt his tail toward me

and scampered off...

I would LOVE to meet the person, or people

that created this piece of art

Yes... this roll came to the table

ON FIRE

and believe it or not, it actually

tasted BETTER than it looks...

they call this the 49er roll, it is so big

that to put the entire thing in your mouth

leaves your cheeks puffed out like

a chipmunk

THE MOST DELICIOUS sushi EVER

Thanks for looking, hope you like what you see

My journey

My whole Life I have artistically expressed myself. In one way or another. Drawing, oil painting, writing, singing, and photographing. It seems I always had a talent for whatever medium I picked up. And to be quite honest, if I was not expressing myself artistically then I was acting like a craaaaaaaaaaazy person. And the same holds true today. I feel more balanced and in tune with my "true" self when I am expressing myself artistically, in some way or another, and there are times when life gets so overwhelming and chaotic that I cant seem to find the time, or the outlet. And all aspects of my life suffer because of it, I find myself irritable, discontent and restless. It is my addiction. Sometimes it spins out of control and I think " in art ". But I know my world would not be the same without self expression, and I would not be the same either. Unfortunately I have come to what I would call a "painters block" and I am unable to paint how I want. Obviously I have all of my limbs in tact and am perfectly capable of painting, technically speaking. But I am unable to paint what I feel, which is un-fulfilling to me. Its like I am only going through the motions with no real connection to the piece itself. Like a bad relationship... You hang in there hanging on to what once was, but the passion is gone and it is just the motions you are going through. All in All... painting has become like a bad relationship to me. And in not being able to express myself creatively, a crazy person has been cast as the lead role, starring in my life.

So, after experimenting here and there with my regular point and shoot digital camera, I rediscovered myself, my passion and a new way to express it. In doing so I decided to upgrade to a SLR and have been experimenting in using it. I would like to be an artist of professional quality and be able to photograph all day. I love taking pictures and showing the world as I see it. My journey is just beginning and I would love to share it with anyone you cares to be a part of it.....
