Inspiration

I take care of my aging process. I Take photos only when I am feeling good and looking Healthy. After a three year struggle to get my diabetes in check everyday, I finally came to a place where I did not feel like a zombie, nor did I Feel like I looked like a zombie. So I take pictures only for effect to aide in a very trying and developmental process I am in right now. I am flattered you are a fan of my photos, this is quite the confidence booster.

Editing

Just a Filter, its called Tilt Shift. It blurs parts of the picture in a fading way so as to make your face pop out. I love making applications for camera's to do more natural imaging performance and not as much airbrushing.

In my camera bag

I Have a wallet. I keep life simple because your income will provide needs and wants that you must have. I have a small purse, I keep natural lipstick in it, a fully charged phone with a decent camera on it. I enjoy macro lenses.

Feedback

The secret to a good picture is exercise, antioxidants, eating healthy choices, meditating and a day job you enjoy or brings you what you need and want in your life. Also remembering things like "living within your means, makes you meaningful.. living outside of those means makes you meaningless. " Also, Do not be a selfie junkie. Take photos when all of the vibrations are aligned for you to feel your best self. Take a photo after working out and showering. You take the best photos when you feel the best. Neuroscience, psychology, and body chemistry have a lot to do with how well you take a picture as well as how often they are taken. You know not to take for granted of your photos. Right place, right look, take several of the same picture but only share one of those.
