Clean photos. That quote you have chosen is a great expression of doing something for the love of it; taking the photo is where the joy is, more than the image that appears to others after the fact.
“Without conversations, stories would not exist.”
That is true, and so beautifully said.
Two lifetimes at 28? That sounds pretty intense. I hope you are at peace and in light.
Love & Peace,

Tinkerbell,
Thank you for your patience in waiting for my response.
I have to say, I appreciate your comment quite a bit. The time you took to write out something personal is very refreshing. Photography to me is the most individualistic process I go through on a daily basis. For the respects you enjoy what I see and how I capture that means a great deal to me. Thank you.
When I said that about my age, that was a year ago. A lot has happened since. 🙂
Peace is just like happiness, a constant struggle to achieve.
Thanks again for stopping by Tinkerbell.

Wow. I, too, am an iPhotographer with a touch of editing as well—sometimes—but not always. It’s an amazing little cam. I would carry regular camera and iPhone.

I love minimalism. Does not matter where – minimalism in clothes, interior (or exterior), make-up or photography. Such photos as these, do not represent social issues and do not help people to solve their problems, but they do have emotional value. For example, the big feel reminds me of London, England and summer walks I got there. Any picture can be a reminder of something or an image of what you should like to do/have.

I strangely decide the quality of a photograph on two aspects that are partly out of my control. The first is that I can’t stop looking at an image, the second my eyes go out of focus. I do the same thing with music. If a singer’s voice gives me goosebumps then I’m in. My two favorites that caused my lack of focus and inability to turn away (and desire to jump in) were the life saver in pool and the line shadows. Great work.
