    I love camera phones because even though I carry a dSLR whereever I go there are still so many times when I see something heartachingly beautiful. Here I was driving madly to do Christmas shopping. Headed to feathered friends and I turn and see this sunset. Blurry going 100kph but…

    Two years ago a dear friend gave me the gift of really listening to lyrics. In my current mood I’ve been listening to lots of Fort Minor, Lifehouse, Linkin Park and Beyonce. I love the fact that Fort Minor is really Mike of Linkin Park fame doing rap. So here…
