CSS... Finally!!!

Journal Entry: Sat May 10, 2008, 6:54 PM
I am trying something different in regard to responding to faves and comments since I have a tendency to become completely bogged down in the mechanics. Some artists that I watch have moved into a “No Need to Reply” modality… and through a modified version I have decided to join them. There are so many great talents who frequent my gallery that I feel I am doing them a total injustice by not allowing myself to take a leisurely walk through their work. I am also feeling a real need to move into enhancing my skills through the use of tutorials and mentors that are being offered here.

So I am opening my mind to a new way of responding to you… I will visit your gallery, but I may not leave rote comments and responses. I want to use my dA time to devote to my art and yours! Art isn’t art unless it is communicated and I really want to be more interactive with you… not on a mechanical level but at a creative level where we are part of each other’s art!!!

Some of my favorites around dA!!!!


I'll start with my multi-talented wife with whom I share this dA adventure and my life:


:iconariseandrejoice:








A very talented young nature photographer who instinctively knows where the shot is and has the timing to capture it... I really hope he makes photography his career:

:iconthesilentrebellion:







Another very talented young man who likes to take extremely great photographs in extreme surroundings:

:iconjoffo1:







This amazing newcomer to dA from Malaysia has an uncanny gift for close-ups... I find his photographs of birds and insects stunning but I am most intrigued by his photographs of butterflies:

:iconblookz:







Some of my own photos:

Then you rose into my life
Like a promised sunrise.
Brightening my days with the light in your eyes.
I've never been so strong.
Now I'm where I belong.
