What a fantastic shot, and an outstanding portfollio.
Paul—You are a man oozing with talent.
Thank You for your contributions to redbubble …
you really are an inspiration to the rest of us.
For everyone else out there (reading this):
PLEASE, take the time to listen to PLV’s music!!!!!
Just scroll up the right hand side … the link is just above Joshua Hackman’s picture.
Paul’s is simply an AMAZING musician!!
My personal favorites were: Because It’s Over, Epic, Give It To Me, Less Than Ordinary Day,
Psychotic Inc., Until Love Found You, and The Tyrant Amongst The Thieves.
Right Now … you can still download these gems—for FREE.
This man is going places … Why not load up and be part of the ride.
Paul—Thanks For Everything.
Paul Louis Vil...
Thank you StIan! :D
Now Kevin, that is one of the best and nicest comments ever!
I’m blushing big time! :)
Thank you Kevin for being so generous with your time (to view and listen) and effort! :D
kevinvaughn
You are so humble …
Thank You for sharing your talent.
I wanted to see if you had heard of a three-piece band called DADA.
They have been one of my favorites for a long time.
dadathe band.com
Mike Gurley is a great (Hendrix Style) guitar player.
Their recent album How To Be Found has a very psychadelic Beatles sound,
their self-titled album DADA is Fantastic, and their first album Puzzle has
some of the most original lyrics I’ve ever heard—even a song about reincarnation.
Just thought I would give you a heads up, as they tend to operate under the radar.
Thanks for your kind response :<)
Paul Louis Vil... replied
No doubt I’ll be googling this tonight!! :D
Thanks mate!

Richard Hilliard
I’m 75 years old and just into photography (seriously). After viewing this magnificent photo…..I’m tossing out my camera. How can any one even approach this work of art.
From a long way off in the States, Pennsylvania, 5 stars.
Paul Louis Vil... replied
Mate!!
Don’t toss it out!
Just take it everywhere with you, let it become part of you, let see what you see. It doesn’t matter whether you are 25, 75 or 125 our artistic eye will capture the same thing completely differently. That’s the beautiful thing about photography! :D
Thanks Richard!
