flickr: *Sara-Magic*s

sara, as you should know, your photos definitely, and have always spoken to me. known on flickr as Sara-Magic*s, my dear friend sara, is a rare and talented find. taking creativity to new heights, and always keeping an open-mind about everything that crosses her life's path. though i have not gotten to spend as much time with sara as i would like, we always managed to make the best of every situation, we got ourselves into. from road trips to mexico, just hours before a flight, to all-day jd drinking/photo adventures in new orleans, and one specific secret/incident she and i will only know.....all i can say is,"what happens in tulsa, stays in tulsa." sara, you know EXACTLY what i'm talking about! a lover of anything vintage, flavorful, out of the norm, and mind challenging, is what you represent. i love it! less than 100lbs, you are the true definition of "dynamite comes in small packages."i thought i was a brave soul, until i met you. *Sara-Magic*s, reveals her magic through a camera…traveling, times with friends, beautiful places, and artistic endeavors. i moved to nicaragua, 2yrs. ago., after one 2week visit. i had thought about going to nicaragua a few times, but never took it into serious consideration. that is, until one work day spent with sara. i had been wanting to move to central america,in order to shoot a personal documentary over the natives, the culture, the history, and the effects of tourism, for quite some time. the thing was, i absolutely knew, that i did not want to persue this adventure in costa rica. no offense to costa rica, i just wanted something new, and undiscovered. Somewhere i had to search and immerse myself in the lifestyle, in order to produce a true body of work, representing a personal "hands on" experience. truthfully, i would have never have chosen nicaragua, as my destination, and home for 2 years, if i had never received sara's advice. yes, i would have traveled there eventually, but who knows when. this experience changed my life, and when the work is finally finished, and ready to be shown, i hope it will leave an impact on you. thank you sara. when will this documentary be finished.....i don't know. i left the u.s. just before the economy began to crumple, and moved to a 3rd world country, where $100 per month is considered to be middle class. i have just recently moved back to the u.s, and you can probably imagine where i stand financially. i'm not worried, it will happen. whether it be in 5 months or 5 years, and it will be incredible. enough about me, it's time to share the work of an extraordinary friend/photographer, *Sara-Magic*s. thank you and your art. today is your day here sweetheart. http://www.flickr.com/photos/99215595@N00/ website:http://www.saramayti.com
