David McCracken Photography

You have a really nice portfolio, with some well executed classic shots, and lots of creativity! I love your sense of simplicity! Nice work, keep it up!

for your cool portfolio, so dynamic... and for your comments. They are always welcome!

Hi David, in your biography you state "Generally all I am trying to do is to take ordinary everyday scenes and people and make them look that little bit more interesting". You have chosen the tough way - and you succeeded. The pictures are clear, simple, vivid and impressive, congratulations.

that's the one word I would use to describe your portfolio. And that's saying alot, since my wife says I have a short attention span (HA) I'll be back to check for new additions and thanks for the comments on my elk

When I followed your comments to your portfolio, even I could not remember your name, but I could remember your works, those pretty street girls on the other side the earth, and I even could remember those interesting titles! It is amazing that you caught the beautiful moment of life. If I can rate the whole portfolio, I will rate 7/7. Thanks for your comments!

David, you're GREAT!!!

Yep....you have an excellent collection here. I have never used a model as I like natural pictures, not posed for, but yours are well excecuted and tasteful........cool work!

What a wonderful and diverse portfolio. I really love your style and work. Keep up the nice work.

Excellent portfolio! Great combinations of color and subject matter. Very unique.

David, I love your stuff. Thanks for the honest advice. I wish more people would give advice like you do. I truly find it helpful! I especially like your use of color and lighting. I've got a lot to learn, but looking at work like yours really helps! Thanks again for the comment.

David,

I love your stuff! You manage to combine a very unique eye with a sense of whimsy. I'll keep checking back for more!

David, thank you for your comment on my picture. It was entitled "confused". But I was a bit confused by your commentary. My intention was to create an interesting portrait, like one I saw in the magazine "In Style". Just something different. You went off on this "fear of water" back story and why I would even take that picture. Hey, if you sat for more than a few seconds looking at the picture rather than just moving on to something else, then I guess I accomplished my goal to make someone pause and imagine why he's in the water. It made you think. I don't care if the viewer comes to any conclusion. Let it be interpreted however you want. But then you went on to say I was so arrogant that I'd ask people to spend time critiquing my photos when I never critique theirs. WHAT!?! How do you know I never critique others work? My asking for comments comes from having lots of people give cryptic numbers that don't really tell you what they thought or give any advice on how to technically or creatively become a better photographer. I'm thanking peple for their time and and being gracious for their comments. How does any of that translate as arrogance? I'm sorry you came away with that. Nevertheless, you have some very nice photos in your gallery, keep up the good work and best of luck to you.

Thanks very much for the advice on the "Ant" photo. I agree the DOF is a little too shallow. I am awaiting a new piece of equipment that I hope will help me improve on DOF and on overall sharpness of my photos. I am having trouble here in Canada finding a macro coupler ring to attach my lense in the reverse position, so for now I am just carefully holding the reversed lens in place with my hand during shooting. As you can imagine this eats up some of my concentration and attention when taking photos. I recently ordered one from the USA and hoping it will arrive soon. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me along.

By the way, I like your "Hot Stuff" folder and I love your shot of the Petronas Towers.

Kind Regards

Mike Bowzeylo

David, so many great photo's I decided to come here. What a great gallery filled with so many different styles. So much fun to look at... That Chili just rocks by the way!!!!

Creativity is in your mind, if you cant see it, you cant picture it. You've a great portfolio, something many of us could be inspired. Thanks for rating and commenting on my work.

Great sense of colour and composition in your portfolio, David. But which one is you in the self portrait? 8^)

David, you have a very soild portfolio, but the scantily clad do help. Just joshing, very good stuff, keep up the great work.

I love damn near every last one of your photos. Great work!

havent seen your portfolio in a while David. I like your style; natural, candid, unpretentious, thats something similar to how I go about it as well IMHO.
I also like the fact that for your figure/female shots, you choose subjects who really have such natural, true girl-next-door appeal to them, not just pretty babes, and that makes them far more interesting and sweet than any model/babe shots that we get to see so often. Just keep em coming sir!

I wanted to thank u on u'r critique to my photo's and tell u that i'm glad that u did that ', becouse now i can see u'r portfolio and tell u that it's beutifall !!!

Your portfolio is one of the reasons I love this site. It's a great study tool for someone like me just starting to learn about photography. Thanx for all the comments and honest ratings. Peace from Brooklyn, USA.

thanks to share your creativity, your originality in this nice and solid portfolio

What I can feel behind your pictures and your comments, behind the time you spend on other photographers, this is above all your sensitive personality, your willing to share and bring positive contribution...I feel the feelings, David, a rare content that makes you different and greatly worth to be known, far beyond just pictures...

friendly

Jean Pierre

Wonderful porfolio. Diverse images. You have an eye for photography and your selection of subjects is exquisite. Thanks for sharing..... Best regards.

David,

I find much of your porfolio compelling. Very nice stuff. I am somewhat alarmed by your habit of tracking down reviewers who rate your images poorly, however. I don't think it is appropriate to use another photographer's critique request as a forum for your disappointment over a rating. I agree that poor ratings (3/3 or less?) should be accompanied by useful criticism, but extending your need for satisfaction to another critique is unprofessional.

Nice portfolio. Your "ladies" photos made my day :) but I DO appreciate all your other photographs. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work! Cheers, Sacha :)

David, your Portfolio is simply very stunning and motivating. The majority of my photos are in nightlife/ events and you have opened me up to so many other genres.

You have one of the most original and provocative portfolios of photo.net. I love your pictures...

Congrats

Very interesting portfolio with an original point of view and creating mind

a very interesting portfolio, impressive and creative, with many nice and original crops and frames. a very good job; thanks for sharing

Interesting portfolio. I love Hong Kong. You show a side of it I haven't seen yet. Nice.

I love your portfolio, it is very varied, very daring, but most of all very artistic. There is no "smut" here, there couldn't be, there is only form, style, compostition, beauty and often humour.

It will take me time to investigate it all, but I shall keep returning to see what you are up to.

You have my respect - Keep posting. Einstein was right!

'Imagination is more important than knowledge'

Nothing to say.You 're a genius!

Thanks for all your comments over the past months. Like your images, I enjoy having fun with new approaches and ideas. I work as a designer in the auto industry so designing images is simply enjoyable and refreshing. Thanks for sharing your great images with the world. David

I was read you comment in my porfolio, I must say that I delete all porfolio some days ago and upload some shoot old, sorry if I have had some bad

Wowie David your shots give new meaning to interesting! Love your work!

David, I love the diversity and vivid colors of your images. It makes for a very interesting collection of work. And the fact that you have been able to show a continuity of your individual style throughout (almost without exception) is well done indeed. Keep up the great work, and thanks very much for commenting on my work. ~Amanda

Bravo maestro!

Hi David

Thanks for the comments on my frozen time series, and for being honest.

It?s fun looking at your portfolio. Great creative ideas !

Complimenti, ub portfolio vario e bellissimo ! Sei un maestro !

I've enjoyed your portfolio. Oh, and I especially enjoyed the comment you left on fred moore's portfolio!! Dickheads who rate low with no comment should be kicked off of Pnet!

Very, very creative portfolio David! :)) I see that you realy playfoull person! ;)) Thanks for sharing this stuff with us! :))

Hi David, you sure are a person with lot's of "Joie de vivre" and I admire you for that. Thanks for letting us share a part of your life. Keep on going man! How do you get away with all this unless you're still single, LOL! ;p)

Very creative portofolio !

original and creative work!! regards

truly... this is one of the most original and creative galleries that I have seen on photo.net and brave too!

Hi David,

Sorry for my late response and thanks for your nice comments on my photos on the very first day I joined photo.net last week. Your gallery is one full of surprises and amusement. Simply fascinating!

Best regards, Hugo

David, you have the originality that I hope someday I can finally get. Regards.

You have a really creative portfolio and that makes the photos interesting. Good Job! Regards Stefan Brauchli

...part of your portfolio is most impressive and incredibly original. I haven't had the time to check out the rest of your portfolio (in detail), but I'll do it in the next few days. Keep up the good work!

nice portfolio.......jaya

I think the picture of the Hong Kong man with a naked torso is too risque. Nice mixed tea bag.

You have great talent, David. Bravo!

What a collection! Lots of technical perfection, innovation, humour, and lots of great color work. Color me RGB Green with envy over some of the lovely people you have had the opportunities to photograph. I could learn a lot from you, David.

I feel as though I'm playing catch-up.

David, I love your photos. After reading that some of them have been removed for ridiculous reasons I fear that you leave PN and go to other forum without telling to us. I think many of us enjoy very much with you work. Don't forget! Regards

I'm afraid for all happened about censured. I tell you that you are an artist, and each big name of photograpy is passed trought similar situation, I'm agree with you. Big David I like your way to make photograpy Whishes Maurizio

David, You are an artist. Period. End of story. Do you have an idea in mind before you start shooting models, or once they arrive you start to formulate something. Your ability to capture such relaxed poses and expression is envied by all. I love your portfolio, have spent hours soaking it all in. Your newest fan. Sharon Jobe

thanks for the inspiring comment. Great gallery you have here.. ;-)

Your work is the work of an artist. You have mastered your tools and added your inspiration and your twisted sense of humor to make some exemplary images here. Some are missing, but that's another post. Thank you for the lessons and please let us know if we might find your classes in any other venues.

Thanks for kind comment. Lots of great stuff here. I like you portfolio, I really do. DDD

thanks again for another comment. When I look to your gallery I can't stop thinking on the amount of fun you must gave photographing.. lol

VERY GOOD MIXED PORTFOLIO. VERY INTERESANT! A.K.H.

Great Portfolio. I love your sense of humor. Cheers! Raymond

I'll be completly honest with you: I deeply dislike your nude photos... i don't think they are aesthetic or art in any manner.

But on the other hand, i admire your architecture photos! I think your work should go in that direction!

Another one that desappears! At least I could enjoy it this morning!. Cheers, David

Hi! David, I've joined PN more than a year. I used to visit here quite often. Not understanding why some shots had to be taken that way. But I do grow together with you. Thanks for your great portfolio. I begin to love your perspective. You are truely an artist. Best Regards.

Your page got my attention but I am at a loss as to what to say? I guess I like it but I am not sure what you are trying to show..... if anything. 5/7 I realise this is a fairly dumb responce from me.

Very original portofolio ... I wish you many more good photos like this one. Best regards, mihai

thanx for your comments david, can u tell me how can we fix the reflections in crome finished products ? regards harinder kalsi

Hello David, A very creative, fun and provocative portfolio. The conception, lighting and execution of your figure studies is most excellent and artistically rendered. Cheers, Raymond

Fantastic portofolio with excellent, creative and artistic compositions !

I look forward ever day to see what new captures you bring to PN...Keep it up. I love your stuff....Have a beer on me... Stephen

Superb work

I have been surprised by how many photographers are great technically, but lack any sort of artistic sense. There are many portfolios of one slim model after another posed in the same positions. Thank God we don't have that here. One of the most fun and interesting portfolios I've seen in a while. There are lots of wonderful ideas captured well. Inspiring.

Your work is stunning, i love you, really. Thank for your photos.

David, Thankyou for your comment left on my portfolio. It is just that your image of the two headed model did not do anything for me. Your portfolio however is just great, I love your innovative ideas. Appologies for any misunderstanding.

Simply Brilliant!

Holy crap David,

It's been a couple of years since I first saw your portfolio, and I remember we talked about style and vision and stuff...

Well just look at your portfolio now! You've evolved from a guy looking for his style (and who was asking John Peri how to get girls to photograph nude, as you were to shy to ask them...) into one of the most creative, conceptual photographers on this site!

Brilliant David, just brilliant! My hat's off to you my friend!

David I like you sense humor,of corse this isn?t the gim fashion, I only play with the concept, thank for you comment, you are always welcome

Great portfolio :)

Thanks for your comment on my photo, bye

David, I think you must be having an absolute blast making these photographs. Your photos are creative and original. They are a real joy to view. Keep up the great job. I'm a fan. Congratulations!

Hello David, I haven't visited for a while and it's good to see that you are still having a great deal of fun. May it always continue to be so! Cheers, Raymond

hello david thank you for taking the time to view and comment on my photo. you have a beautiful selection of photos here simply amazing!. im looking forward to seeing more of your work. happy shooting cheers!

miguel

Thanks for your comments on my self portrait. With so much diversity and quality in your portfolio your critiques will always be welcome.

David...So you liked Miss Piggy. I just couldn't resist and after seeing the comments, most appreciated my sense of humor. I really like your portfolio. Becky

Well, someone is rough ! I put pictures on this site for FUN. If you want to tell me how to live my life, well go ahead ! ps: When I ask for critiques...it's about the pictures, not about me ! Good luck in life !

Hey David,

Nice work here! I really enjoyed your shots.

Justin

p.s. thanks for stopping by earlier!

I get bored (from a photographer's perspective) looking at most of the nudes people post because they're all about the same and take no creativity. Your work is a breath of fresh air because it's not only visually attractive and technically strong, but it's original, interesting, and often funny. I had a lot of fun looking through your portfolio. Thanks for giving us something different.

thanks for your comment !!

i'm teseted my new canon and the adjustment is not optimal !!

I just made a rebuttal to your comment on my comment about this photo. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4895603 Looking at your portfolio afterwards, I see artistic means in your work. I'm sorry but I don't see it in the other you were commenting about. I think they could learn a thing or two from your perspective.

Amazing gallery with pro quality & well executed photos!10/10 with no doubt! Also, thank you for your time to commend my photo!

best regards Kostas

Relatively new to this site and becoming more serious about photography I find your sight innovative, inspiring and with good humor. Thanks

Thanks David !

Nice portfolio you have. Wolf

Thanks David for your comment on one of my photos. Your portifolio is fantastic, very creative. Congratulations.

You have a very interesting and diverese portfolio here David. Very creative, the self portrait is probably my favorite shot but that would be a difficult desicion..Thanks for your comment on my stuff, -Mike

David, Your comment on my critique request prompted me to examine your gallery. It, like your comment on my photo, is thought provoking. I appreciate you taking time to offer a comment on my lack of comments and I wanted to reciprocate by spending time looking at your work and offering a comment. So, having commented on your comment, I now offer this comment on your work: It is interesting and different but not in a bad way. I like much of it!

thanks for your comment !!

i like grain on photo, this is ma project !! but now wich me new digital camara, is not easy !!!

Thank you for sharing your art. Your works are obviously a lot more sophisticated than my humble snaps. I really like your "Little projects" and "The rest - mixed bag"- folders and also the street and everyday life-photos are great. As it comes to the nude shots, they are creative and in technical ways really good, even though I am not a great fan of those. You seem to have a way of dealing well with the people, I work with them and like to shoot more of the nature and animal subjects. Well, our opinions may differ and that is ok for me.

Happy shootings!

Alpo

very nice!

In every photo I feel a professional taste, especially thinking about the use of colors, dof and coposition. Your photos are "real photos". Congratulations.

Lot of srolling :-D , but at least every pic worth to look at....

love your creative imagination you displa y in each and every one of your photos-you truly inspire me!

thanks David of your comment. Very interesting your portfolio, with topics deals to you in way absolutely originates them

Hello David,

very cool pics - great models and fantastic sense of humour embedded and jumping out of most of your nudes, love 'em. Well Im surrounded by wonderful Asian ladies often naked, so im gonna get my arse into gear and use your wonderful work as inspiration.

cheers,

Nic

Hey David ... an awesome gallery you got - thanks for stopping by my page, I'm looking at your portraits and definitely a lot of creativity and uniqueness happening there.

Thanks for stopping to look at the "On the Phone" picture. He was alone probably because it was raining that day ... I was taking the pic safely at the back where it was sheltered.

Agreed with your comment about HK. I saw your Hong Kong folder pictures, fascinating! Are you living in HK? Maybe we'll come across each other someday shooting at same spot :)

Thanks for your comment. I just visited your portfolio...it's very impressive! I think I got some animation :-))

Best regards

Uli

I read your bio:

"Personally, I consider 'Focal Points' to be a mildly amusing photograph. I do not think it warranted the amount of ratings that it got. I was pleasantly surprised.

On the other hand, I consider, 'The Eye of the Beholder' to be one of my more interesting shots. The community here did not think so."

That's funny. One might conclude that the community is choosing boobs over eyes. (Or more specifically, an isolated boob over an islolated eye.)

David, what a nice portfolio. Thank you very much for the 4/3 on my poorly shot photo. It is nice to see some one that will rate a photo poorly and then give the reasons why they did. It was great criticism and much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi David, thank you for your honest comment on my Pitahaya-shot (as far as I know they call it dragon-fruit only in Thailand). However, I`d like to ask you something: what makes that shot boring in your opinion? You know, when giving negative comments it`s always polite to give also an explanation. Thanks:)

I love when a talented photographer give me an advice. Tks for your words.

After taking a look at follow-ups I had to see how your signature works elsewhere, ;), damn... I should've done that before commenting. But I'm glad it happened, your portfolio is amazing. Congratulations, David. Will be visiting you often.

I wanted to come here and see something I could be a bit critical of. No such luck. Amazing stuff here. But I'll be back so don't slip!! :-)

thanks for your comments on one of my photos. Your portfolio is incredibly beautiful and fascinating 7/7. Stupendous job. Saludos desde Mexico.

very nice portfolio! congrats!

... and that's what I love about your work. Great imaginative images!

Thank you for your critique of one of my photo's.

I've been a fan of your photography since I joined this site, so it is an honour to have you comment on one of mine.

Thank you once again for taking the time.

I like your folio a lot - good colour and comp :-)

I'm one of the just arrived, so I need encouragement..

As an artist, a photographer, a commentator, a humorist you have done some very interesting and enthralling work.

Your imagery compels my mind to jump in every direction. Some are even emotionally charged.

However, this is art. I believe an Artist is successful when they can stir an emotion in the viewer or atleast cause the viewer to think, even lash out.

You sir, are an artist. From the fringes of society delivering work that causes us to think and react.

I reacted with a cheer, imagery that I have planned but never created.

Good work. Keep us questioning, without artists such as yourself society will certainly become stagnant.

Dave: Just wanted to say I'm a definite fan of your work. I love your out of the box thinking and creativity you bring to your work. Thanks for the comment on the Playboy picture. I liked my version a lot better as well ;)

Great work all are so well done.

Very artistic portfolio David! Very impressive work! Bravo! (((applause))) My regards! Vaios.

It's like I want to turn away... but I just can't. Interesting.

You are so creative--what a wonderful imagination you have! I would like to get my son off the video games and have him hang out with you for some imagination spark! It is such an inspiration to see work like yours. An abundance of brilliant photographs--wow! Kudos to you for being so competent and an amazing artist! robin

David,for you to take the time to comment my photo is an extraordanary honour for me.That coming from such a talent like yourself is very rewarding and keeps beginners like myself motivated.Thanks and a bow to your highly creative work. greetings wojtek

Great portraits, beautiful portfolio... Congratulations!!

A wonderful man & collection of art here. I laughed, I questioned, & highly admired it all to say the least. Thank you for sharing!

Hello David ! I really like your work. Amazing ! :)

Thank you for all the ideas and inspiration. Seems like you are a person who see a lot of pictures in his imagination and then just grabs the camera and makes them real, so other people can see them too :) Great portfolio, thank you for sharing. Best regards, Peter

Thanks for the visit and the comment: I'll be commenting alright but give us a chance to find out how the place works! I only did my first posts on this site 24 hours ago! lol! Like your portfolio; plenty of variety with some great shots - Oh yes, I'll be back! Regards, Tony.

Nice Portfolio. Thx for your kind words and comments on my photos. Keep up the good work. I will check in from time to time to see what you've added to your already nice collection.

Dave

You crack me up, McCracken! Your Nude folder is so much fun - esthetically pleasing and very artistic, but also so very humorous! I laughed out loud several times. Keep it up...the photography! :)

Innovative, original, funny, sexy photos make this one of the best portfolios in the site.

David, you have fantastic photos here. I admire your unique ideas on many photos.

You have an special way to see this world......and I like it.

Thanks so much for the generous rates in one of my shots.

Regards...!!

Your work is really eye catching - makes it so hard to single out any one particular image for a comment. Well done David

David, I love your portfolio, I come here often. I especially love your Hong Kong photos. I think you should take more pictures of the city. Best regards.

Hi this is a very fantastic snap shoot

Thanks for the visit and the comment my photo I like your portfolie you have great shots !!! greetz Pat

You have a very interesting portfolio. The more I learn about photography, the more I appreciate it.

David, you have quite an extensive portfolio and I really enjoyed taking the time to browse through it. Thank you for sharing!

i like how you make shots rather than take shots. artwork everywhere. thank you for sharing. A

for comment my photo,I am really surprised by the beauty and originality of your portfolio, my best regards.

I love your work. You have a good sense of humour as well- something that is often missing with photographers af your quality.

Hi David,

Thanks for your comment on my photo "wine". Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the sake of art! :)

You have some fantastic work here. I will keep checking back to see your latest!

Good meeting you.

Earl

David. Thanks for the comment on my picture of the girl in the road. Your time is appreciated. As for the Petronas Towers, I wasn't sure what I liked about it myself, that's why I didn't reply.

Yours is one of the most creative portfolios I have seen on this site. Your work is inspiring. Thank you.

As a child, my mother had alway told me to be wary of "yes" men i.e. friends who agreed with everything that I did, since they were not often good "voices of reason". David, I am truely grateful for you taking the time to critique my work. I can often "see" your point of view and it is often a good test for how my work may be perceived by those viewing it for the first time. As for your impeccable and varied portfolio, my friend, it supports my belief that you are one of the most creative and COURAGEOUS photographers that I know!!! Congrats, my friend. By the way, there is NO MORE ROOM at the bottom of my portfolio for comments, so don't even think about it (:-))!!!

Hi David, been a while since I visited, but I continue to like your playful desserts. Thanks

you have again some beautyfull models !

Well Mr McCracken...I have to say...I do think that you are one of the few people who truely have fun...behind the camera as well as in front of it...Your humor shows a positive side to a professional attitude...Your creativity inspires...your confidence with the technical...releases/unleashes your creative abilities...I remain in awe of your work...and will continue to visit your portfolio...Hope more continued creative success in the Newest Year...Juan

Hello,David

Thanks for your kindly critique and rating on my photo "I looed up, just an empty sky above.". I look through your bio and portfolio. I like many of your photos. They are very beautiful, interesting and creative. Best regards!

Dear Mr McCracken,

Thank you for taking the time to look at my humble photo with the mobile phone and the orange. Now that I see your portfolio, I can notice you are an expert in the area and that's why I would have expected a professional comment from your part. I am a very beginner, and the reason why I post photos here is not because I know how to upload a photo on the Internet, but because I need feedback from the more experienced photographers. This is, in fact, the main purpose of P/N and I suppose you agree with it since you are a member of this community.

So will you please tell me what exactly you dislike in that photo? I don't mean everybody should adore my work, but I do need an advise for improving it. I cannot take your comment positively just because you had the generosity of sparing a few moments of your precious time with typing it. But I will surely take it positively if you explained me why that photo is bad or good. If you don't agree with the rating system of this site, try at least to avoid poor comments...

Thank you.

I'm glad I followed your comment on one of my photos, your work is diverse and seriously well executed very inspiring collection, thank you for sharing your experience with us all the best

I like this, you are very creative and able to express sensuality (I love your toaster) without any hint of debauchery. Alfredo

Great accomplishment. I liked your Little Projects folder best. Keep up the good work!

And yes, the pictures of pubic hair are very erotic and artistic.

David, guess what! Yours is the first portfolio that I have seen that made me think: HAPPINESS. You have an eclectic blend of subject, but most communicate "happiness" to me and make me smile. What kind of anomaly are you? :) I still want to know what other works parallel my "Moon Beach" but you give me something to think about. Cheers, David.

Extra portfolio!

When I first saw your profile page... you had me at the quote... "Where the pure see purity, the pig sees smut."Albert Einstein ... I knew I had to see more of your work.

I did... and I love it all. Impressive style and vision. Excellent. You have a new fan.

I really enjoyed your portfolio, and humor. Well done!

Thank you for your comment and rating on my photo, 'forbidden fruit'. Your images here are stunning and they interest me very much. Coming from Asia myself, your Hong Kong images are exquisite. Great compositions! Congratulations. - Lester

Thank you for commenting on my image. It is titled "Have suitcase, will travel". I was learning to use a 4x5 camera at the time and as you can imagine focusing was a doozy! To make things worse I was way into self portraits at the time and I'm proud to say I have never had anyone else take my pictures, I'm a one woman show. I think I may continue this series with a 35 mm just to make life easier.

I really enjoyed your portfolio, I love your nudes, I see you like to play around too ... I also really like your street photography. It is so inspiring to look at other photographer's work, especially when they are of your caliber.

Thanks again, Catherine

Thanks for the visit and for youe time on my "Happy or Sad" pic. I chuckled at your joke. Your portfolio is excellent. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Lawrence

Hi David, You are making me blush but I can't say it doesnt feel great to get some wonderful compliments, especially from a photographer of your caliber. I have a few more of this series that I haven't scanned yet. Im having a hard time finding someone who can scan 4x5 negs for a price that won't make me have to sell my first born son. Hopefully I'll be able to post a few new ones soon. Thanks again for the lovely compliments, I'm going back to check out your folio in a bit more depth now. Keep it coming, Catherine

hi david thanks for the comment's on monterey sunset. I wandered through your portfolio and saw the last hole image and brought back memories when i played there a few year's ago. a rare moment with no overcast sky. great work. mark

You have got Your own unique style!!! very energic, full of humor and distance to reality. Congratualions. Greetings from Poland!

Love your whole portfolio and especially like your sense of humour,some fantastic images here.

Thanks for your comment but overall thanks for sharing. Your portfolio is superb, very professional. You're a master. Warm regards Raoul

Very interesting portfolio, great colors, congratulations !

Thanks for your words. I tell you that it is a straight image. Is in a museum. Regards from Buenos Aires

I'm realy sorry to come so late David. I'm new in this forum, and my english is bad. So how could i ad something that wasn't already said. But keep on amazing us with the photography like it should be taken, and the postprocessing that will make the images even more beautiful instead of ruining them in exageration in search of the extremes.

To browse your work was a delight. Very, very creative posing in you rportraits. Congratulations...

Love your work, Dave. Very interesting and creative. Thanks for sharing. Regards, Lawrence.

David: Have you shifted gears in your recent work? It looks very fresh (not that there was anything wrong with the old stuff). Always an interesting and inspirational experience to visit your postings. You do have a fine eye and a bit of an outside the box POV -- I do enjoy it.

Cheers,

John

Certainly among the best around. Rather gifted i'D SAY.

Hi David, thanks for your straightforward comment on a couple of my photos, it's always refreshing to get an honest comment or two. I like your work (girls - what's not to like)you have a fine style with a sense of humour, look forward to seeing more, best wishes

Thank you for the comment on my photograph of Jackie's Hand. I appreciate your opinion on that particular image especially. I will consider increasing the depth-of-field slightly for the next attempt.

Excellent portfolio, your shots are full of color and life, very creative , well done , best regards //Salvador

David, thanks for the advice on my black and white experiment. It got me to look at some of your shots. WOW, you are good. Thanks again. Linda

incredible portfolio, you have a lot of interesting ideas and looks like you had a lot of fun with some of your shots.

Wide spread working base. Different joking images included. It was inspiring to see your portfolio. See you soon. BR Joerg

Very nice body of work David!

Thanks for your comment. You have some great pictures in your portofolio :-)

Hello David , I will take your advice and appreciate it , but you don't have to be nasty about it . Or are you the person that just likes to stir the pot ? I think people are intimadated by you (I'm too old for that ) . You bully them into looking at your body of work (which is very good by the way ) . I see very few people have stood up to you though , those ones are probably more like you then you think . They march to a different beat as you do . Happy shooting . Joan

E difficile dire quelle che mi piacciono,sono tutte molto belle,intelligenti;,l nudo e anche ironico e spiritoso. Complimenti Paul

Hi David and thank you very much for your comment on my peacock.Take care!

Thanks for your comment on one of my photos. You have a wonderful collection of images. Well done.

Thank you for your comment on my photo. It is very rewarding that a photographer of you caliber likes one of my pics.

Looking through your photos I get the impression you are a light hearted kinda guy. This is what comes across in your photos and it makes for really interesting pics. Just like my goats, I think you are probably capturing the cheeky side of what is going on around you.

Cheers Glen

What a fabulous funky portfolio you have here David! I am really impressed, and think your pictures are much better than many of the marks show. Great work!

Cheers

I tried sending this to your e-mail link but it bounced...

Maybe it's sick minds think alike.

I find it interesting that we both wind up with similar comments on the same images. We have all been guilty of making the same old nude photographs, the ones that are nicely lit, mostly full length, etc. I find myself attracted to comment on those photographs that have something else. Sometimes it's a funny little twist, sometimes a unique pose or interesting lighting. I find that in my own work that some experimenting with unique subjects, unusual techniques or lighting make for photographs that I like better even if they aren't always well received here.

I hope to run into in the critique forum again soon.

Thanks for your encouraging comments on the Marble Series.....Your nudes and the portraits are great...Thanks again.... Anil

great ideas! cheers

My friend, thank you for your comment on my Al Maha image which led me to visit your portifilo and enjoy viewing a lot of your skilled images.

The next time you are in Qatar, I would like to take you around some of the places up north and to Abu Samra Safari Maha Park.

Wishing you all of the best.

IN risposta al tuo commento devo darti ragione:la prima esperienza le ragazze sono sempre molto tese e serie nonostante cerchi di aiutarle,Pazienza !!!ci vuole tempo...........Complimenti invece per il tuo allegro ,vivace,brillante !!portfoglio. ciao Paul

Excellent work!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!

I am not sure where you live. It seems you live in Far East with different scens to see. I like your collection. For sure your love toward the body form is amazing.
Take care

Hi David, You seemed to throw everything but a photo of a toilet bowl into your gallery.You must eliminate most of them.Just reproducing images in front of you is not enough.Alot of the photos are real tacky (corny). You must concentrate on designing the whole page, stay away from donut photography. and ps...soft focus is not a no no if it achieves the desired outcome (I think your dating yourself).Look at some current gallery exhibitions. hope this helps....all the best ....Ned
