One thing at a time.
I believe that I owe my watchers and group contributors a lengthy apology. I've been missing from action for some time now and though I'd love to tell you all that I will be more active soon, I can't say with much certainty that that will happen. The last month or so has not just been busy, but actually soul crushingly demanding.  My stress has taken on many forms as of late, causing more extreme insomnia, chest pains, my social anxiety to worsen and the mother of it all; depression. I've had panic attacks, I've done stupid things to get through the day and I've ended up in hospital. As much as I'm trying to keep this to myself at the moment and away from the people I know in real life, I know I am not the only one feeling this way.

All I know is, if you're feeling the same as me you don't have to take it all on at once. You can only do one thing at a time, and you're only human if responsibilities and difficult tasks become emotionally taxing. If anybody out there needs someone who's in a similar boat to talk to, please send me a note because I am always there for anybody who wants to talk.

So back to business...

I wanted to feature photographs that have a story behind them, so here are a few that were sent to me;



"This photo was taken at a Ron Paul speech. I had no idea who this person was but when i saw his veterans hat, and the fire in his eyes i took a quick shot. The quality isn't top notch but I love what I captured." *Centarian66


"I photographed this girl on valentines day 2011.She left her well off and influential family
and set out to start a career as an actress in mumbai.
She went broke and was thrown out of her rented flat.Whatever help was offered to her,
she refused and started living on the streets. She was once nearly forced into a van by group of men who most probably
wanted to sell her as a sex slave/prostitute.
A few months later, there was an article about her in the papers.She was rescued and sent back home." - ~jadedPhotographer


"First shot of the day at Ringling Causeway here in Sarasota....first thing I stumbled on was this scene....to me, it was the vigorous old man, enjoying his day of fishing he probably looked forward to all week; and on the bench, his wife, who obviously didn't share his enthusiasm :)" - ~SarasotaTim


"My boyfriend James and I were taking pretty photos of flowers and landscapes and such in my father's display gardens one day. James picked me three roses, but I couldn't hold them because my hands were fully of camera. So I put them in my pocket, and they were pretty :)" - *Maithiran

I'm KEL, I adore southern rock, horror films and photographing people.

Putting emotion into my artwork is really important, I like to think that a lot of my portraits really express the feelings and personality of myself or the subjects being photographed. I'm a professional photographer, running my own portrait and wedding photography business, and I'm based in Chester but often travel to Bristol and Somerset.

Feel free to send me a note if you have any questions about my group of if you just want to say hello :squee:
