Member Profile – AJ Garcia

I am a quiet person, compassionate and generous.  I love dogs. I love reading and taking close-up shots of flowers and all things that I find interesting.  I love watching good movies at home and listening to good music.

I love ice cream, yogurt, grapes, pancakes, dark chocolates to name a few. I cannot do without a cup or two of brewed coffee in the morning, cups of green tea during the day and a mobile phone every day.

I most especially love bonding with my family on weekends. 

I view life and situations in a balanced way.  I want things simple and uncomplicated.

And I pray and keep God close.

On Choosing to Write Online

I have chosen to write online because I believe it is a great opportunity for me to communicate and share some essential and interesting things about life that I have read and learned myself, my own thoughts and views on some issues, poems, and beautiful photos.

THe Beauty of Morning

Presenting our new photo collection from TFD's AJ Garcia.

The beauty of the morning as seen through the photographer's eyes.

A tiny bloom, a bud and a little ant in their natural green background. The background is in its bokeh form with a shallow depth of field.

Initially, everything was kept as a secret when the group was formed. No one else, but those concerned, knew what was going on. 

Now, it is time to reveal and show the world what these talented individuals had beautifully done. 

Yours truly and Brewed Coffee helped the group with some ideas. But this group did everything on their own - using their own superb individual talents, ingenuity, and wisdom. 

They had a deadline to beat. It was a challenge they took. They worked against that deadline despite their busy schedules. And, they were able to finish the project ahead of time. They worked individually, and as a team... Sharing ideas, helping each other - a true embodiment of the TFD family at work. 

This is their first project that they had successfully done. 

Kudos to TFD's new photo-vid group! We're so proud of you! Superb work!
