Ernst Haas.

 A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels

My ultimate goal is to make the ordinary look extraordinary

Martin Parr

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which one to keep 

Scott Adams

For me the camera is a sketch book an instrument of intuition and spontaneity

Just a sprinkling of quotes to dwell on and i will post more at a later date .

When The Fun Stops

Took this image outside a bookies , well a series of them as i saw a potential for a possible meaningful image, and i got lucky with this one being far the best of the bunch . Put it on Flickr and the next day it was picked for Explore , so many photos per day are chosen to go there. Which really increases the viewing and get some people looking at some of my other work . It got over 36 thousand views in all which to get so many see one of my photographs is amazing to me. Who would have thought a number of years ago how communication could spread so fast and how artists can share there expressions with so many in such a short time . Also i can get inspired by so many other artists out there which i probably would never see if it had not been for social media websites . Thanks for reading : )
