Andy, this is brilliant. You have it in you to transform things. Whether it’s injecting grunge in an otherwise “ordinary” urban shot or finding serenity in a construction lot.

It is beautiful, Andy. And it works for me too. I always say that it is always little issues that stress me out. I remain extremely calm when extreme problems hit me. Cheers, mate!

Thank you Debbie, I really appreciate that!
I enjoy the search for a quote that fits an image, and a challenge, and then, more recently, I have been experimenting with writing.

Thank you again Debbie, I tend to shoot from the hip and write from the heart, without too much thought, in fact when I think that’s when I don’t know what to write, so I really appreciate your words!
