Going to put this out there.  A bit of me and why I form the images and words that I do ... and maybe that will assist with an understanding of why my shots are formed (in some cases) the way they are. Part of a reply (to this photo when it got declined due to opinion only and I totally respect that) that I will put here in way of giving some insight into ... well ... me.

When I find something of interest it will never be what is assumed ... this is me and you can see it through many of my shots and almost every single one of my poems )

In the case of photography the story and shot are as I see that tiny pinpoint of light in this wonderfully imaged world (again the artist and the perceptions conveyed should put something else in the eye rather than what people think should be there ... this is my opinion ... and definitely my art form to the mediums I play within).  Those that read my poetry will definitely know this (hard to hide things to those that do read it ... perceptive bunch that you are )

I can do the pretty, probably the more technically correct ... but my art, my focus is more than a little left of centre ...

Hope that explains some things in regards to the photo's and writing that I create.

Going to remove some of the clutter and keep what I love and hopefully what you guys do too

Anything you want me to keep in my gallery that you think I may get rid of then let me know!

Going to write.

Most likely as the heading suggests.

Perhaps not.

Something stewing though ... wonder if it will bear fruit ...

Mental block upon me.  Need to run around with camera in hand, sunshine splayed through wind blown hair, smiles tripping over smiles, nipples har... hmmmm ...

Maybe I should write instead?

Has been a little while for that also ... as in the chaotic ramblings flowing onto paper or keyboard day after day.  Still the odd one slips out now and again (doesn't it always! o.O).

I think at the moment I am a little in awe (maybe more than a little) by the awesomeness that is this wonderful community of creative creatives(that's deviantART in case you didn't know ).  Here, I have seen things that make my emotions jump in all directions.  The beauty of the shot taken, the strength of a writers convictions, the bits and bytes controlled by the digital el33t ... and anything in between.

Everyday my eyes open wider and my perspective changes as I geekily gawk at what is laid before me in this massive electronic "People's Louvre".

And all I would like to do ... without all the guff above ... is to thank each and everyone one of you for sharing a piece of you and your world with the rest of us.
