Hello Friend!
Well here it is another year is passing away and we are coming into the holidays. I think time starts to go faster as we get older, it was just yesterday I wished my friends Happy Holidays and here it is again the end of a year. The holiday lights are starting to be put on some of the trees here in Dallas, we were out last night and some were lighting the trees. I wish for you all a holiday season with family and friends, after all is said and done all we have is each other.
I want all of you to know just what your comments and ratings on my work means to me, your words are my motivation, my drive to discover, to learn this art that we all love, thank you for taking time and thank you for caring about my works. At the same time thank you for letting us see your world, our lives are so much the same, we all care about our families and friends and we all share the same things, maybe someday our photos will help make for a lasting world peace. May you and your family be blessed this season.
Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting
Ken

I am amazed with the ways you manipulate light to hit in all the right places. I love low key photography but am not well versed in it. I will be back often to check your images with the hopes that one day I will understand light as well as you do. Congratulations on your POW also - nice job!

Nice Work
I think the key point in the photo is in the light, and you managed to dominate it.
Congratulations for your work!

Dear Derek:
What impresses me it is that the style is appropriated to the message, idea, concept or whatever you want to convey. You have great eye to create art.Nice technique, great ideas behind them and a wonderful dept in images appears which create a class of your own. I have been watching your portfolio; it has been a very rewarding experience. It has been very intense, therefore tiring. The toning of your photos emphasizes this quality.Thanks...

Outstanding Portfolio
Hi Derek...After looking at your shots on Photo.Net and also on your web site. I must say that I am stunned by your superb use of photography. Not only the asthetics but also the costumes, colouring the models, themes...etc. All outstanding and unique! I think you should make a living from photography as you are better than many I have seen. Therefore may I wish you every success for the future....Regards Keith
