The PhotoBlog

I am Andre Damons. I am in love with photos, cameras and everything that has to do with photography. Its what I am. Photography is more then keeping your finger on the shutter. It is seeing what other people don’t. It’s looking differently at things, no matter how ordinary it may seem, it’s feeling what others don’t feel. Photography is bringing the beauty out of anything and everything, no matter how ugly, how bad, terrible or sad it might appear or be. Photography is life, its love and expression. It’s keeping the present real and saving it for the future. It can’t be thought but it's learning everyday with every picture. It’s the strive for perfection, capturing the moment as it should be remembered. I love photography and it’s all I want to do. It runs in my veins, it's what I breath everyday. It is what I am, and what I want to be. A photographer. This is not only what I see, but how I see it and how I want to show it and how I would want people to see it. See and feel it with me. Look with me and share the moments with me. This is the life in pictures according to BurnDRE. Most of the pictures on this blog is taken with my Samsum Galaxy smatphone and Canon D600.

Paalfiksheid is n sport waarvan die gewildheid aan die groei is met meer mense wat dit beoefen as n manier van oefening, gewigverloor en as lekker stokperdjie. Polesport's popularity is on rise and there are serious work going on to get it into the Olympics. People that does this kind of fitness is seriously strong.
