Phototastic

There are times where I enjoy fantasizing about being or doing amazing things. Sometimes the inspiration might come from a movie, the Internet, a book, or practically anywhere doing almost anything at anytime. Lucky me I have a vivid imagination. Lately I've been inspired by photography and fantasize about producing photos that bring out the verbal "Wow" or "That's cool".


I have taken some cool photos in my life, but usually only about one in every fifty photos is actually worth printing instead of languishing in the ever great pile of digital photos in iPhoto on my Mac.

Photos that take me places. It's like traveling and imagining all at the same time. The best photos have this type of effect on me.

I can find myself wiling away the hours of my life surfing through photo sharing web sites and dreaming of being there and seeing that very subject at that very time and space. Cool stuff I tell you.


So today we bring you cool photo related stuff.
