I definitely added a photo filter.
Thank you, my friend.
I wish I could tell the stories you do with your camera. It seems like you do it with such ease.

is the filter post applied or do you use a lens (filter)

I think it is you who tells better stories ---with working verse to match.

With this photo, I tinted it after the fact to make it more yellowish.
I did have a circular polarizer on the lens though to bring out the sky when I was shooting.
You are very kind. I like your Uber page, btw.

That kid in the plaid pants always steals my attention. More so here than in Rocket Man, but in the latter I couldn't help but notice his shoes...

Wow there is so much to love... the colours, the angles (that sloping ramp is a sad sigh), the heights, boyness, the title. This is really powerful! Thanks for sharing.

this picture is SO hard to grip.
unreal, too real, i'm not sure what it is... it becomes philosophical just to tr y and understand what it's doing to me, the whole message is just ungripable.
hard to just let it pass by without thinking about what it is. all i know for sure is that you caught something magical in this moment in time.
thank you

I remember feeling like this.
When you bought a new pair of sneakers, you could run faster and jump higher.
Flying was possible.
Riding your bike was pure freedom.
The wind on your face.
Possibilities.
What ifs...
Let's go!
