Inspired By: Green Mango? No... MangoRED

My wife and I loooooove art! The feelings they evoke, the nostalgia that it sparks, the moments they create- over and over again. We're so obsessed with it that we've taken much time in collecting art from friends of ours, making art of our own, scouring the cities that we visit for anything that leads to the visceral "I-Gotta-Have-It" mindless purchase. And so imagine how inspired we were when we stumbled upon Philippines-based photographers, Ryan and Randall Dagooc of MangoRED.

Now, I am all about the progression of my people in the world of art. You can almost feel that love that they have for their craft. Stand and be recognized for your talents because it is nothing short of amazing. Check out their site here. These guys love what they do and nothing says it better than how they worded it here:

"We believe that no matter how monstrous your talent, no matter your adeptness with concepts, your adroitness with words, with pictures, no matter how much you have learned from all the creative masters who have gone before you, it will mean nothing - no, it will mean less than nothing - if you do not love your work with all its pain and glory. .every last sweet and sour moment of it - the late nights, the lost Sundays." Now that's love! And this quote doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of how eloquently they express it. Visit their site and BE INSPIRED.
