Brilliant Eye: Mandolux- Darkness/Palm

*Photo Link- Darkness/Palm

I can't seem to get my mind off the exotic, the exotic Maroc, that is. Lately all I can think about is being there. I found this photo, "Darkness/Palm", at Mandolux.com. It reminded me of something you might see while roaming around on a warm summer night in Marrakech. I can definitely use the warmth(or at least the warm thoughts), being that it's -6˚C here.

My brother Ben told me about Mando's awesome photos. Mando Gomez is a desktopgrapher who specializes in desktop photos for multi-panelled monitors(something that Ben has) which are rare. It's fun to use his desktops for many different things.

You can also find Mando on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mandolux/

**Based on a recent comment about needing permission to use Mando's photos in a blog, which I had no idea about, I have removed the photo from this post, but you can see it by clicking the link.

Don, if I could take credit for that picture I would, but that would be too wrong.

It was taken by Mando Gomez as it says in the article below it. His links are there also.

I dear,
Your link shows a stuffed bear in a plastic baggie? Is that what you wanted?

Haha, well, I just linked to his main page.. What I should have done was linked to his archive. Sorry, I was tired when I posted that one, I'll fix it momentarily.

Did you speak with Mando?I know you need his approval to use one of his photos on your blog.

Zori, I wasn't aware that you needed his permission since his photos are for free use. I gave him full credit and wasn't looking to make a profit on it. Still, I should have known, thank you for pointing it out. for now I just replaced his picture with a link. Next time I will definitely ask first.
