I fancy myself a novelist, a hack more than any real skill I should think honestly, but one day I sat up and realized I had not worked on my novels in several years. ...that I had been working on a story for thirteen years and had no complete rough draft. This bothered me greatly when I realized I was looking at a series of somewhere in the are of 4 full length novels and several short story books. I had to admit to myself my desire and inspiration were all but nonexistant.

When I went to Ireland I had many goals and purposes, to find myself... new inspiration was one of them.

So, I took along a $1500 digital camera bought solely for the purpose of getting some good shots.

I neither claim to be intelligent(anymore) nor even a hobbyist when it comes to photography, but I DO proclaim that I got a few of "the best possible shots that the world could ever see", and plenty of other nice shots as well.

Since the areas I have surfed on the Net have been so poor and altogether worthless when it came to true inspirational images, it occured to me that I should try uploading some of my own to Deviant Art in hopes that actual artsits or photographers will pick up their tools and get to creating the fuel for imagination, the fuel of the future masterpieces.
