Dear watchers and/or visitors:

I promised myself I'd wait until the 3000th view to say this but I think this particular time is the proper one to take the mask off and make my confession.

I created this account as some sort of a "test-drive". I have another gallery,

I wanted to check if the reaction to this kind of work would be the one I was expecting. And it definitely was.

I took no longer than 5/10 minutes to accomplish each and every manipulation in this gallery, whereas I sometimes take 1/2 days to accomplish my other gallery's manipulations.

I realize (now) that the following points are undeniably true:

1 - Black and White works are easily more successful

2 - Words may turn the worst into the best of creations (even though I reckon they may destroy it too)

3 - It feels a little weird not to have as much "appreciation" comments of the same level on my (other gallery) more complex works.

I do reckon some of the works in this gallery are worth some words os appreciation and I really ended up liking some of them (as all the noir imagery has a lot to do with the real me) so don't get me wrong when I say this whole thing was a test. I enjoyed what I was doing and I was, at no time, making fun of the people who use this same method. I just wanted to set this record straight and ended up liking what I was doing.

I'll stop for a while now (on both my accounts) but I'd like to thank each and every one of you for your kindess/comments/faves and I hope you don't look at this as just "me being selfish".

I wish you all the best,
Marco Pina AKA Glamour Diesel.
