I was lucky enough to find him online and fell in love with his magical art
and views of the natural world.
just magic transformation"It sleets, yet the tourists are taking the shots in spite of all inappropriate circumstances for that... While watching them, I reminded my own camera ... While I was shooting, the tourists watched me with the great surprise. They couldn't understand what attracted my eye. Yet that confusion was the mutual. I too don't know what use could bring the gathering of the exotic picks, thus I turned of from the deeds of humanity to the beauty that was lying underfoot."
My Question, Dear Reader, is HOW do you cope with disability?
I blog...focusing on the computer takes my mind away to good places.
