About me
The beauty of life is in the detail.

The sound of rain on a tin roof. The veins in a leaf.  The foam left behind by surf on a beach. They are all the magic of life.

The same goes for human beauty. There is no "imperfection," there are no flaws; there is just an endless palette of textures, shapes, and details. Those things are all a valid part of the perfect whole.

What really gets my rag is comments like "great skin tones!" when it's just digital airbrushing. You may as well get excited over a plastic bag.  To retouch human skin in a photograph is to lay concrete over a meadow and declare it looks better. 

Feel free to disagree with me, of course. That’s another of life’s beautiful things. Peace.

'Crazy D', your perceptive skills are exceptional. Your ability to ARTICULATE what you perceive is extraordinary. I have not witnessed such BRILLIANT expositions as what you have to offer.

Your commentaries are 'Off the CHARTS' and certainly beyond the reach of most of your contemporaries in the 'World of Mayhem'. You have ascended to 'Level of Scholarly Interpretation' and I welcome you...!

Yes, with comments, I'm looking for something that gives insight into how the image lands for the viewer, but I'm not so interested in kudos or negative responses. I've been weaning myself off of accolades for years now. Being hooked on approval is as bad a trap as trying to avoid rejection. Both deplete your creative power.

Thanks for the comments on the other port. Much appreciated... Don't you wish more people wrote more than "that's hot?"

In this digital age true beauty has become lost...until there those who are daring enough to capture beauty in its natural form. Wishing you continued success!

You're most welcome, thank you too! At least you were pleasant about your opinion. A couple of people who left comments against my "long ass series" were not so nice. One even said, "Learn to edit your shit man!" I started with the long series when I first signed up to MM with a standard membership, and found only 20 pic slots very limiting, so I started creating series based on film strips, and even after I upgraded my port to a VIP membership, the whole series thang stuck. :D

Best to you,

You are quite articulate and poetic with your descriptions and analysis of a picture which is refreshing and welcomed...not many of us possess such intuitive talent and interpretative skills as you do. With that said feel free to stop by anytime should you want to exercise your intellect and unleash your vast vocabulary on my port...have at it Crazy D ;)
