I spend a lot of time every day looking for a worthy shot, sometimes i focus on my iphone and sometimes on a better quality shot on my D7000. This slideshow is a collection of timeless images shown in a simple fashion to some quirky traditional music. The music is about a lone traveler.

S.P.Y. What The Future Holds

This music is run at a quick tempo of around 160-180bpm which is on a whole different rhythm level compared to most other music. I aim to share some great resources for quality Drum and Bass here in this post.

Writing in English While writing in English can be very beneficial to learning the language there are different parts of the brain that understand its creation (motor memory) and another part that aids in understanding what the letter means. This is my theory anyway. I don't know the science behind this.
