When I started out in photography I knew that I wanted a gritty feeling for my pictures, so I searched Flickr for free textures. I found them quickly and easily, each accompanied by a note saying “Free for use” and “Enjoy”. Ever since I experienced that kind of generosity I wanted to pay it forward, so each time I shoot a new texture pack I like to release them.
They are split into several downloads based on where they were photographed. All in all this is over 150 textures – I really hope that you enjoy them!
Enjoy some CLASSICS:

It was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot of new techniques that I look forward to executing.
Take Care,
Damali

I don’t have anything interesting to tell you really, I just wanted to say Hello and that you are a huge inspiration to me , I love your work and it touches me, the words, the images, the person you are. I’ve watched all of your videos and loved all of your art pieces. Anyway , I just want to say thank you , for being who you are , making the art you make and sharing all that you share!
Truly,
Myriam Dunn

Veronica - Hi Brooke!
I write to you while I download your textures!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the book you sent me … I am translating it because although I understand English … it would be better if I did it in Spanish …
Here the google translator is helping me …
I love your work, although it has nothing to do with what I do … I love learning from who just does something so different … that’s how I get inspired and believe without copying anyone … I still look for my identity in photography I still have a long way to go .. but finding people like you, so generous they help to continue not to decay … I am the same .. I have taken more free photos than charging
and I think that everything you give comes back! that’s why I love to give, whenever I give to another I feel how it does me good
and from what I see you are the same!
I wish you all the best! That you continue having all the success in the world and inspiration, you deserve it! and so it will be! Just for being like you are!
Kisses
Veronica from Aargentina

Natasha - Hello, as I told you on Instagram , we are trying to publish a self-help book.
The book is the set of some of my publications, it is composed of my photographs but some years ago I repacked your painting with a specific text and you make part of one of the 8 chapters. You and 25 other artists have been selected to be on this project, your name and your painting are related, in no case are we attacking the right over your creation.
Please, if you do not want your art and your person to appear in the book we understand and we will respect your decision.
I look forward to your response.
Best regards.
Sharon Russell - Your generosity is boundless. Thank you so much for these beautiful textures.

Most sincerely,
Liz Hampton-Derivan
