Francesco, thank you for commenting on my presentation 'Minimalism'. What you say is so true: we are so similar and so different at the same time. Two exceptional events have marked my life this year and they both point to this very fact: one is the Olympic Games, the second, the discovery of Photonet.
You have an excellent portfolio and great talent for colour and composition

Francesco, I can see you maturing into a good photographer. Your images show some interesting thinking and I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future. I particularly like your shot of the bench.

Fancesco, you have a really nice portfolio, each image has something special to it. I see you can take amazing photos with any camera, but I am sure your new G5 will serve you very well ;) Really great, keep adding more !

Francesco, You have an awesome portfolio and a style of your own. Very authentic and it is something I really admire.
Thank you for taking the time to comment on my pictures. Your critique is absolutely right on and those are the issues I constantly struggle with. Thanks again.

Francesco, first i like to thank you very much for your kind comment on my pic. I've browsed your portfolio again and I congratulate you on "a rainy day" and "green". these photos show me the same type of peace, I'm trying to search in photography. I'm not professional and I'm searching the moment, not the decisive like HCB, but the moment for peace, so my pics are not actual and stylish and "hip". Your photos (like deep in thought) show much more passion and silence than the actual trend in magazines, keep going!! You have the kind of photography that last longer than trends IMHO. thank you, i'll keep visiting you portfolio - Richard

Pleased to meet you, Francesco. I'd like to thank you for your nice comments on my work and, at the same time, to tell you that your collection displayed in photonet is splendid. Up to now I had just seen your photo "Post Atomic Era", which I told you is great. But right now I have seen the other photos, and most of them are so interesting. Stetics, themes and concepts are different, and that's precisely what makes your work so rich.
Well, I hope you will go on sharing your photos with us, because the best way to learn is to contemplate the other's work.

Is for me an honour somebody as Francesco Ces lose time looking at my work.
Your photos they show, in a clear form, a great artistic sensitivity. The presence of photos where the main reason is human (or human expressions) show that you are close to the humanity, show you feel affection for the humanity, what, for me, it is very, very, important. "Softness" is a hymn to the incommensurable subtle power of the women. Francesco... until always!
Francesco Ces , July 23, 2005; 09:45 A.M.
Thank you all, i am trully humbled to accept your kind words.
Thank you again, my virtual friends and fellow photographers.

Your photography is simply amazing, full of beautiful and thought provoking images. Very touching and sensitive. You have a wonderful gift. If your works are, as you say in your biography, unfinished or incomplete in any way, I cannot imagine what my own efforts might be considered. I am inspired to learn and grow after viewing the world through your talented eyes.

I protest
Visiting the portfolio today is so poignant.
It may be the wish of the Almighty, or his temptation to take away the best from us. Whatever, its too cruel, too soon. God, I protest.

Tribute to Ces!
THE DAY MY BEST FRIEND DIED
I sat alone and stared all night
At pictures that he took.
Each one I saw would pierce my heart
With empty, desperate gloom.
Today I found my best friend died,
I couldn't live the same,
I threw away my foolish toys,
And I've acquainted pain.
This pain will die with my last breath.
Each time I'll think of him,
And of the days of youth we've spent
Together, I can't bring
Them back, nor will I find again
My friend's great company.
It's over, his life's finished here
And I am left to live.
How long? - I care not. I don't know.
Today it dawned on me,
That once I die, I'll walk the road,
My friend took before me.
Am I afraid? I wouldn't say,
A hope is in my heart.
I'll walk the road He took and hope
Our friendship will restart
When my time comes,
That day when I, will leave this weary world
To meet my friend at Pearly Gates
The place where I was told,
He'll wait for me, we'll meet again,
The grandest place of all.
He'll take me to his neigborhood,
I'll see those things he told
Await us. Those, who found the key
To Heaven's vast domain.
That key, the one and only one,
Is Jesus' Precious Name.
