'deviantART GETS A BIG SHOUT FROM ME'

What a crazy fall this one has been. Super productive, I have been surprised by the number of pictures in general that I managed to create, and a pretty consistent approach.
One of the biggest motivations that onyone could have dreamed of, was that I have been approached by a Design firm from the west coast, and asked to be a contributing photographer for their design team.

Thanks to DEVIANTART, where i have had the luxury of dropping images and sorting through comments for a couple of years now, my work got noticed. And I am submitting images to FARMBOY FINE ARTS / DESIGN, for their use in decorating facilities around the world.

The flower pictures that I created this fall have also garnered me an invitation to a massive Tulip event in Holland next year. Kuekenhof. Where 10 million tulips are on display and the worlds dealers go there to purchase their product.

Really surprised, and very proud, is the only way that I can describe how these invitations feel.

Having been untethered from the working world for 3 months now, it is amazing to actually feel like a full time functioning artist. I have plugged many holes in my portfolio, and made many new contacts.

I will be returning to working world very soon. This journey is not over, but reality is setting in. And this liberty that I have experienced will surely play a role in how much I allow myself to become penned in. But in the meantime . . .

So, if you have not had enough of my flower images yet, there will be one more batch. I have many pictures to digest this weekend and there will be some fresh images uploaded. Today, November the 7th I found these scorching orange and yellow flowers in somebodies front yard. I could not drive past. Sorry folks. I am laughing right now because I cannot believe that I have spent a whole two months shooting flowers. Really, it has never happened before. This saturation if you wish to say, of my desire to shoot one thing. There have been many other subjects, because I rarely do not have my camera near, but I dread to think of the images that I walked right past, because there was nice light on a dandelion...

Thanks to everyone who has bothered to comment. I love the critiques, and am constantly humbled by the spectacular work that just pours out of each of you.
fraternally,
