Hugh,

As is my custom, when I can, I love to return visits to my site and check out the 'visitors' work.

I am soooooooooo blown away by your portfolio. Especially the street shots. So compelling and touching. You obviously have a great heart and old soul. I am humbled by your work and your sweet comments on my work, really knock me over. From such an artist like yourself I fell it is a blessing.

If you decide to publish your street stuff I would buy it! I have been thinking about someday publishing a collection of photographers I admire. Folks like you and John Crosley for example.

Please do call me or write if/when you travel to these parts.

I live about 30 minutes drive north of the Golden Gate bridge. I would so love to haunt some San Francisco streets with you. Or just slug back a few gallons of java.

Best to you. and thanks again for the nice comments on my work.

Cheers

Lee

Hi there

Sorry to hear about your loss. love and companionship is what makes the heart sweetest.

Hope you find your peace and beauty inside and continue to be inspired by the dance of life.

keep the love alive.

love hugs from me

Lee

Tried to capture the exuberance and joy I felt from these young friends as I watched.

They were crazy happy together. Freindship is sweet. Comments welcome.

Thanks soooo much. Most appreciative of the sweet energy flowing towards this photographer.

I am hooked on shooting more natural beauty because of this. Feels great. Thanks to all

Lee

Thanks for the great responses - I am truly jazzed. BTW this was a 10-22mm lens. A good 'guess'.

I have learned much during my short time with this community. I atribute much of my 'progress' to the talent here at Photo.net.

Thanks to all.

Cheers

Lee

Lee

wandered into this field after the rain stopped. This tree semed to be taking a bow. Canon

20D. comments welcome.

thanks to all for your support- (with maybe 1 exception) I am learning much from this community. remembering to avoid competition with anyone but myself.

cheers

Lee

this is very charming. on many levels.. Nice work.

Cheers

Lee

This is quite nice - I like the texture and sense of 'right now' .Good feeling. I see you do a lot of experimentation. Many varied styles.

I think thats so right on!

nice to find your work.

Cheers

Lee

we all have dark corners that haunt us. this is one of theose attempts to portray the hope of fleeing this part of the human experience.

Lee

your work is stunning and has a strong sense of place. you are a gtreat talent. i truly enjoy coming to your corner of the world and absorbing.

cheers

Lee

this is really a gentle and warm feeling photo. i love the coposition and color. nicely presented!

cheers

Lee

amazing shot! one of my favorite street shots of kids. i simply love it. great hunting - good timing!

Lee

very nice capture and truly an interesting 'look' in this creature. i like that i get a sense of 'happy' from the portrait. good sho.

Lee

Yuri - just browsing again and delighted to see some of your new captures. very impressive. you always have some amazing shots that are so powerful. great to see!

Lee

John, you are always able to conjure a great muse. Love this shot.

I wonder if you had a chance to shoot the frame with the old woman's eyes open as well.

just curious.

Hope you are snug and cozy where ever you are and with whomever.

cheers

yer bud

Lee

Great to catch the fleeting moments of joy and yearning...god work..you are sooo cool doing the 'on the sly' shots.

Lee

This is fabulous. I really like your way of seeing - you are quite a talent. Cheers,

Lee

I like this just for its own sweet softness of statement. It has a calm, deliberate energy to it. Its a great way to use motion. Nice work - I might add some sat, but thats all.

cheers

Lee

John - I nearly fell off my chair when I saw this!!!! Fantastic! It is as though these folks are 'realizing' thier inner dreams through the mural painting. (my own interpretation)

Sports and desert. Two mainstays in American life. This is a lovely and fun image. Again - it takes a wizard to see and capture like this. Cheers,

Lee

and by the way-

How the heck do you get all your street people to color-coordinate with thier surroundings? You must travel with a gifted stylist. LOL

The fact that the 'weeping guy'(my interpretation) is in businesss attire is all the better for my imagination. The yellow Chron boxes are so eye-catching and pervasive in SF You did well to spot and capture this moment.

So entertaining and expresive on many levels. Bravo again!

Lee

John, like i said - you have that magic wizard-like ability to see these jewels of urban realities. It takes many skille=s and talents to work in harmony to be able to look-see-do at the rate you work. man, 2 hours? wow!

Besides the obvious graphic elements holding hands here, you have a way of shooting that leaves the dignity and humanity intact. This is no small doing. It comes from a big heart and highly developed skills. Bravo!

Lee

Wonderful catch here. I think the energy - so diverse- and varied expresions were caught at the peak of the doing. You do have a knacK for finding these umcommon moments/ juxtapostions and capturing them so well.

You street work is poetry. It is evident that you care about your world and are blessed with the magic of wit and grace.

I remain a faithful fan of your work. Cheers, yur bud-

Lee

nice work. you have many sweet images. This is a great idea. If you took it one step further put it on a stick in the wind. I'll hold the stick if you need. I wonder...if this might be a design for martial arts stars.

As for the light, I think you couild add a 'global' light source in PS. Or change the skin tones randomly.

all and all it looks fine like this. some people are soooo picky.

keep shooting.

cheers,

Lee
