I over did it on the editing and that’s ok since I’m not chasing perfection.

Deeply inspired by @BadiuPhoto and her interpretation of an old cottage along a busy street in London. Her work inspires me to exercise my photography eyes more and frame the world around me.

@focusandkonnect I would rather be great at photography with minor connections. I’m not in the business side of photography. I create for myself and those I work with. I’m not looking to create a big business or grow famous for my work; therefore, I have little need for major connections.

Paid photographers must adapt with the fast pace changes in technology and entertainment consumption. But those who create simply for the sake of art must ensure they do not get lost in the pits of social media.

Sometimes it feels like a battle when trying to suppress natural human urges.

It is hard to untie your soul from some people when they have left their mark at the molecular level.

Poetry is like skinny dipping in broad daylight. It allows you to be totally nude in public while hiding everything just beneath the surface.

Outward appearances are just a small portion of what makes up a person. But so many people will manipulate others and deceive them just so they can get a taste of another person’s body. And care nothing for the individual themselves.
