Robert- Thanks for the generous and thoughtful response to my post on your Thermal Spring photo. I feel a little bad that I used your fine photo as a whipping boy for my irriration. I actually trhink your photo is excellent, and looking over your portfolio I see that we may have a similar eye. I don't for a moment think that I am an excellent photographer yet. I am very aware of my limitations, especially since getting hookewd up with PN. I think I have a good eye, but my technique needs a lot of work, and I'm hoping to learn a lot here. Some of the best photographers here certainly set the bar very high for us learners. My irritation has to do with some of the (probably inevitable) irrational factors that seem to lurk behind the rating system. In fact I think your picture probably deserves a 6, but I also think that if that's true, mine does too-- not for some egotistic reason but simply out of fairness and objectivity. By the way the picture that I meant to compare with yours is not the one I uploaded. That was a mistake but I couldn't find the way to erase it. My parallel photo (different but I think equivalent) is called Thermal Spring (I think). You can see it in the portfolio. Thanks for the nice comments on my portfolio. Much appreciated. Frankly, despite your generous flattery, from looking at your excellent portfolio, I don't think you have much to learn from me. Bradd

Outstanding portfolio. Great photos are all over. Thanks for sharing them and hope to see more of your photos posted. Best of the best to you.

Nice work Robert, I like your Landscapes, in particular the close ups, the ripple mud effects in your S.F. folder are cool. They would make good Artwork as large framed Prints.

You have very impressive and beautiful portfolio.Very nice works Robert !..

Robert,you have a very creative, varied, and original style. Bravo, kind salutations from France. Regards, P. Chambin.

Robert - I enjoyed looking at the image in your portfolio. You shoot a variety of subject very well and infuse them with your own sense of style. Congratulations.

Hi Robert, Your portfolio is full of stunning colors, textures and images.... you've got a great eye... Thanks for your input....Best to you Sheryl

Thank you Robert for your input on my photo. I am truly a hobbyist, and really just beginning to put effort into this artform. I appreciate your comment and I really like your portfolio. You have a really good eye.

Thanks for the feedback on my picture from Sabino Canyon today. I have a cropped version of the same photo that uses the offset (rule of thirds) for the central saguaro; I didn't like that version as much, though, because of the amount of landscape and sky that I lost with the cropping. If only I could have the day back to reshoot the picture! Oh well, live and learn...

Excellent photos Robert. You really have a great sense for composition. Your tree shots really stand out. Regards: Jeri

Greetings Robert. Thank you for you input on making my photo better. Input from a photographer such as yourself is valued. Your portfolio is excellant and of high caliber! Best regards.

Thanks for your comment on my photo. Your experience shows in your gallery. I love the Yellow Stone photos, I would love to visit that place, the site of the worlds second largest volcano caldera. I'm going to Bromo/Semeru National Park soon because it is closer to Australia so I hope to get some photos of active volcanoes soon. Thanks again.

Robert, you have a varied and colourful portfolio, filled with great images. You have a keen eye and a creative spark. I look forward to seeing more of your work. David

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments! I have only had a breif chance to view some of your incredible portfolio, but will return tomorrow to pay it the attention it truly deserves. (Is it 1:30 a.m. again, already?!) I look forward to the chance to have more time to view your work. Thank you, again! Respectfully, Tina

Wonderful portfolio with many artistic and innovative shots. I enjoyed the way that you made your panoramas photos. I hope that you may add any photos about Yemen in your amazing portfolio. A very creative work.

You have a wonderful, colourful, and imaginitive portfolio of images! It is clear to me that you enjoy photography, as is suggested in your many creative photos. It simply looks like you're having fun capturing the beauty of the world around you. This is truly an inspiration to me, and another reminder of why I love photography. Thank you for your kind comments on my images, and portfolio. I am honoured both to have had you visit my work, and to have viewed yours. Thank you for sharing it! Respectfully, Tina

Thank you, Robert. I am enjoying your Yemen photos and also excellent performance of progressed Nikon. My Nikormat and lenses were not for color era.

robert, your photos are of high quality. i am really impressed with the following: rice farm, old barn, lower falls and red fish lake. the lower falls shot is stunning! keep up the good work

First, thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave a message on one of my pictures. This has allowed me to become acquainted with your portfolio. I like to look at the whole array in thumbnail before I view the individual pictures since I can get an overall impression of the artists point of view. I was immediately struck by the extraordinary compositional strength and the harmonious color of you pictures. Your work has great balance and serenity without ever becoming static. I am quite impressed by this portfolio. Best regards, Jack

Hi Robert, thanks for your comment on my b+w leaf shot. Thought I'd return the favour.

You have a wonderful portfolio here, I really like the mud ripples, and the shots of Yemen are fabulous. Thanks again.

Hey Papa.

This is your daughter. You asked me a while ago to critique your photos and I never got around to it, so now I am making an attempt. Remember that I know absolutely nothing about photography so I won't be commenting on things such as color, balance, symmetry, exposure, etc. etc.... but rather on how the photos make me feel, which I believe is really the whole point of art anyways. I love you and happy early father's day. Megan

Thanks for the nice comments on pic of my wife. We both looked at your portfoilio and think you have real talent. Patti (wife) loves you trees and I like all of your black and whites. I also live in a small northern california town near the Sutter Buttes. We'll be back. Kent

Thanks again Robert for the comments about my pic. To answer your question, I used north window light. That's it. I live on the other side of the buttes. Thanks again. Kent

You have a very diverse and interesting portfolio. I particularly enjoyed enjoyed your photos of the people and architecture of Yemen. I was there 15 years ago in my pre-digital days and haven't gotten around to posting any of my stuff from there. I still remember the site of your Yemeni Mountain Village image but all my images are from below rather than above. This is my favorite photo in your portfolio. Thanks for the comment on my tea plantaiton photo.

Outstanding portfolio with excellent photos of subjects with meaning. I need lots of time to read through the information on your photos.

I would love to see this on the front page of photo.net. :))

PS: More Morocco, please. That is somewhere I would like to visit someday, too. Probably not as politically hot as Yemen is just now.

Thanks for the comments on my portfolio. I will be posting more Morocco shots soon, hopefully, when I can find the time to get back to scanning. I will also be posting some images taken when I lived in Tunisia and when I worked in Algeria.

This is a portfolio to be proud of. I particularly like the Doors of Yemen folder. These exposures would make for a great coffee table book!

Thank you very much for the nice comments on my portrait. I really appreciate it. I also like your portfoilio very much.

Mandy

Thank you for your comment, love your work!

Amazing work, both in diversity and quality! A pleasure to explore. Thanks for comments. Huibert

Thanks for your comment on my Ohm. Your work is better than first rate it's diverse and stunningly original. I fel that it's actual Art among a lot of pretention. I have to come back to your portfolio when I have more time. Thank you for your encouragement again, it means a lot to me.

Sincerely, Kellen

Your abstracts are amazing, simply put. Keep it up!

I have already made comments on several of your photos that struck me as being the strongest. Knowing that, and having perused my portfolio, I think you will view my comments in that context. Outside of the photos I have specifically commented upon, I find myself most impressed with your portraits of people. In several instances you have managed to capture a certain spirit, which is an extremely difficult task. These photos would be successful no matter what country they were taken in.

Enjoyed the portfolio, and hope you keep working on it. Peace.

Robert, I was in Tunisia in late December 2004 and early January 2005. There were very few tourists at that time of the year and I had three or four of the Word Heritage Sites virtually to myself. I especially like your Yemen doors and Dunnigan Hill folders. I was in Yemen also but it was 15 years ago before I was very serious about photography. I think it is one of the most photogenic places I have ever been. Keep up the good work. Jim

Outstanding portfolio....

Thanks to all of you who have left comments on my portfolio. I have not been able to spend much time lately with my camera or on PN, but hopefully this will change soon.

Thanks for the comment on my picture "Lonely man on the trans" I did the cropping as you say and it does look more powerful. I love your portfolio and can see you are a true dedicated to this art. You do have a lot of techniques I can learn from.

Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Juan

Robert, I really like your portfolio a lot! Being a beach-bum I especially like "Ripples". Keep up the good work.

Your portofolio impressed me so much....I loved your photos and your ideas, especially those with the mudshapes and those with the trees.... Dayanna

Hi! Thank you for your comment, it is a great help. Congratulations for your photos.

Hi Robert...thanks for the critique of my picture. i dont think i have seen any pictures like the series you have taken - lovejoy basalt...they are simply beuatiful. in fact, sometimes i think that these could be pictures of a human body coated with black shiny tar like substance... these are amazing forms in nature and you have captured them really well. great viewing your portfolio

Fascinating portfolio! Vivid color, superb compositions and wide array of visual imagination. Very, very beautiful photography. Thanks for sharing. Will be keeping an eye on you! Keep up the great work. Best regards.

Great portfolio, thanx for comment on my tree shots, Your folder on trees is inspiring. Keep up the good work

Wonderful images Robert. Thanks. I'm reminded of the following from William Blake which in my view is always a very good thing.

"To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour".

Best wishes, Al

Robert, I love your portfolio and as a world traveler I totally agree with the last paragraph of your biography. Warm regards, Barb :)

Thank you for your recent comments on my photograph "Embracing The Dawn" Coming from a photographer of your quality and experience they are most encouraging and appreciated.

Kind Rehards, NH.

First of all thanks about your comment.I give you some explanation about my photo or place. The workers in my photo was working with hawsers on roof of silo buildg which roof has a 1/1 (45degree) slope. İI think so it was useful definition.

Robert, Yes, your sand images are beautifully done! And your porfolios are impressive. I especially like the doors from Yeman!

Robert,

Wow, we really have a very similar eye for subject matter! I have a series of rocks, simiar to your series, a series of water/ice similar to your water series and your doors reminds me of my Norwegian door and windows series! Kind of fun to find a photographer with similar fascinations! I 'll have to keep an eye on you for inspiration! It will take me years to get out as mucb work as you have out! Jeanne

Awesome portfolio. Congrats.

Great observations, great abstracts! Wonderful work with the doors. Truly unique! All the best. Kostas

excellente impressive and beautiful colors, textures and images Rosa

Robert, Thank you for taking the time to comment on my portfolio. I am very impressed with your work. I am new and benefit from comments like yours. I look forward to seeing more of your work and staying in touch. Thanks again.

Linda

What a wonderful portfolio. Full of life and color your eye for compositions is outstanding. I enjoyed every folder without exception. I will be here often for motivation. Congrats. Alex

Your portifolio is really beautiful. I enjoyed all your photos, but specially the flowers. Congrats. Thanks for your comments on one of my photos (Coffee). Regards, Chico do Vale.

Robert:

I join with all the posts submitted earlier - - - Your portfolio is incredible. I wouldn't know where to start if I were to make specific comments: fantasic variety, feeling, technical acumen, etc., etc.

WOW!

michael

Thanks for your comment on my photo and this led me to your portfolio which I found very impressive and interesting. I love your travel photos and I saw you have been to my country, nice photos. Cheers!

Lester

hi robert great portfolio. really like how you take simple images and turn them into art. check back soon mark

Robert! i like your way of seeing too...! thanks for your words and please shot a lot. Your ripple section is my favourite!

Thank you so much for your input. Fortunate for me since I can now spend some time going thru your portfolio. Best regards...Pat

Your portfolio contains so many beautiful and fascinating images that I found myself repeatedly going back and forth looking closely at individual photos. Great variety! It was "Tree Fog Sunrise" that first caught my attention and I particularly like your 'study in trees' section.

Thank you very much for responding to my comment on your photo. As my comment led you to my portfolio, your comment led me to yours. It is nice to see a portfolio with such a variety of images in it (which mine for one certainly does not have!), your black and white photos in particular are outstanding. Thanks again, Peter

Dear Robert, there are so many interesting photos in your portfolio, but two sections catched my attention and preferences, the B&W Botanical section and this Gallery dedicated to Yemeni doors. Yemen is a fascinating Country, I have not visited Yemen, yet but I am so attracted by the art and architecture in this Country, I have more than one books on Yemen and I am so fond Sanaa'h ancient buildings.This collection of doors, with huge colours, with their naives, geometrical designs rich of creativity is so beautiful in your photos and the whole collection in this portfolio is a very well done report, a pleasure to see. Thanks for visiting my portfolio and for the lovely comments

Paola

Great stuff. Especially the b/w. We live in a wonderful place and you show it off well. I will try to be more attentive and check back often. It's always worth the time :)...... Kent

Interesting portfolio with great shoots, congratulations ! Alex.

very impressive work.

Hi Robert. Having browsed through your portfolio a little, I now want to flatter myself and say, "I can see why you commented on that particular photo of mine!" You have an amazing eye. Thanks for sharing this with us.

You have a very nice portfolio and your photos are wonderful. Congratulations

You have a monumental portfolio with excellent shots and great colors, congratulations ! Roxana.

thank you for the nice comments hope to see you again Roxy

Hi--I've been photographing the Dunnigans for several years (stanford.zenfolio.com), and you seem to be the only other photographer that has recognized them as a subject. It's a big area you can get lost in, and it's all fenced off, private land, making access tricky, but so far I haven't run afoul of any ranchers. I'm trying to put together an exhibition of them at the Expressions Gallery in Berkeley, where I sometimes show on other subjects. (scrimtalk@gmail.com).

Stan

Robert,

You have SO many nice images here. I especially love the ripples and tree studies. Your black and white images are outstanding. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

Karen

you have a wonderful eye for detail, colours and shape. also love your tree series. i am used to got the the same location several times to get the best light. Well i am sure you will enjoy ireland through your lens ( : Madeleine
