I'm really into goth rock and new wave. My favorite band is The Birthday Massacre. The guy in my avatar is, in fact, a guy. His name is Mana from the band Malice Mizer.

What the...

I am almost never one to comment on pure photography, but for this one I just have to. From the thumbnail, I thought it was a computer generated surrealist art. I am definately blown away. I even see the clouds moving...the colors are perfect. 10/Favs. Definately one of the best photos on this site.

But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile. Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings: And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill. That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes. We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not. Yet so the universe was wrought . Thought is another name for fate. Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.

I think I've figured out what it is that draws me to your photography. There's always an air of both solitude and discovery in your work. You could be there with fourty people for all I know, but you give the impression that you're the first person to stumble on these places and catch them. This view is otherworldly.

In a dream I walked with God through the deep places of creation...until, around me, was an infinity into which we all flowed together and lived anew, like the rings made by raindrops upon wide expanses of calm dark waters.

The firey sky showing down and covering the frozen tundra, wisping clouds and mists of fire and heat, past reality and beyond natural thought of our world as a living place, with such a new beginning shown, how must we survive, this shows great wonder to what is going on right around the corner, and lets us veiw into what one has only dreamed of one day seeing with one's own eyes, to be free and relaxed while seeing such movement and creation, only with a sense of absolute being and absolute self, could this ever be seen move than once in a single life. I honor your findings and give thanks to the for showing what life can look like. ~Xet
