Sarah Underhill Photography

Sarah, your sense of composition and style has resulted in a striking collection of photos. Just seeing the colors of the whole gallery pop off the page inspired me to take a closer look. I'll keep an eye out for your future uploads!

I really enjoy your colour section: Great composition, really original subjects, outstanding job!

Eye popping colours and nice composition.

Great pictures: stunning colours-pleasing composition. Pleasure being with them.

Your portfolio is really special. The color folder is just great. Love it.

Bram

Wonderful folder, such a good use of colour

thanks for your comments on one of my photos, with limited time I had a look at your work and was very impressed, paticulary the shot of the person with the bushy beard and also the canal with the coloured houses.when I have the time I'll have a closer look, very good though.

I love your pictures, especially the boldly colourful ones. Just one (OK two questions). Do you rate your NPH at the designated 400 speed or lower when shooting? Do you enhance the colours of NPH in photoshop? Nevertheless your pics are wonderful. BH.

I really like your work. The pilot photograph is especially powerful.

I think I am not alone in admiring your folder of colours. Great collection.

I sure enjoy your images! You are very talented in graphic design and use of color.

Great pictures. Every time you look you discover something new.

Sarah, You have nice portfolio. I don´t like the folder Symbol and Other,,,but the other ones are realy, realy, realy good.,,colors,,,your eyes..the show must go on.....

Sarah, I am really impressed by your creations. Colours and compositions are wonderful. This is a kind of images that really appeal to me. I will keep looking for future work.

Interesting selection of images, subjects all of which are composed in a very individual way - this makes for interesting work!

Good photographies. Thank you For pleasing viewing.

You are truely gifted..

Sarah, I was impressed while viewing your images; I really enjoyed your work. I really hope you consider photography in your future. You have some fans looking out for your work... good show, Sarah, and thank you for sharing your masterful work with us. By the way, your "Symbols" caused me to pause and reflect on the past; I, too, have friends there. Again, thank you.

Thank you for your comments on my pictures. I have tried to follow you recommendation and redone some ofthe pictures. Please comment my “New Style” folder. Best regards Nils

Great work Sarah. Your colors are simply amazing. Again, very creative eye, especially your 'not the usual tourist' Las Vegas shots.

Your pictures are just awesome! I really admire your use of color and sense of composition.

Please have a look at my (few) pictures! :)

Sarah, your pictures show a level of artistry and compassion seldom seen. We are all better for viewing your work. Thank you, Dale

Varied, colourful and original portfolios. Very good

A superb collection of photographs. Very nice work indeed!!!

Hey Sarah, It would be hard to find a description of your work that hasn't been used yet which is a great compliment in and of itself. Very very inspiring! Thanks for rating one of my photos. Nick ps has anyone ever commented on your last name being the same as one used in the movie "Fletch"? just childish curiousity.

Sarah, your work is inspiring. It seems we have similar day jobs, I am now thinking about bringing my camera to work.

I've loved watching your photos load... (landline!!) I found myself grateful for the slow internet...

good stuff, Sarah!! Inspiring, invoking and dramatic portfolio.. I like "themes" and you do it well. Particularly liked your "symbols" folder.

jb

Sarah, stopped by your portfolio. Love the colors and textures, very rich indeed.

Sarah, Thank you so much for your nice comment on one of my photos. I am glad you liked it. Your folder shows an amazing work and the colors are so beautifully worked. CONGRATULATIONS

After rating a couple of shots I brought up your portfolio intending to rate a couple more but I won't bother now- I don't want to individually rate a few, they are all brilliant.

Wow, you are good.

Realy a great portfolio. Fantastic photos. Good!!!

Thank you Sarah,you are the first one write on my portfolio. I'm happy becouse your is soo wonderfull and nice colours and compositions are wonderful. (sorry for my english i'm italian) ciao ciao Gaetano.

Your work is very, very solid--confidently composed, simple, strongly designed, and wonderfully uncontrived--keep it up!!

I try to look at portfolios of those that rate or comment on my work and I have to say that after looking at your collection, I'm flattered at the rating you gave on my "Standing Guard". Keep up the great work and stay safe in your day job. I'll try to post a few pictures of mine to share as well.-- Mike

I am anew member at the forum, and u photo of the terraced fields got me to download ur entire page.

the photos are all well taken. i aslo liked the fact that u have caught the light and mood and colours of the places u have visited , and i know that the time of taking photos while traveliing such palces is not always right yet they are very correct and excellent.

i want to know what set /kit u use for the photography, and which zoom lenses u have used.

i also would have wished only one thing , in some scenes u may have got even bettr /stunnigneffect if u used the rule of 3rds/4 rths.

I now know what i'm striving for.. Absolutely incredible!!

SARAH, GREAT PORTFOLIO! BEST REGARDS. JIRI GREGOR.

Sarah - Wonderful portfolio. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful pictures, exquisite colours, great clarity. It was a pleasure to look through.

Good photographies!! Compliments

Your pictures are so sharp and so colourful. wonderful portfolio. Thanks for your comments on my 'south indian wedding series'. i guess you have been missing the new photos in the series :)

Sarah! your photos display an incredible sense of Being! of conenction with people and places. of great color balance, artistic comps and fab spatial awareness. fantastic connection with people. wow.

Thank you for your comment

everything is a clue of a real artist

I love the way you see and what u search for...an then turning them into photos!!

well done

hi Sarah,....you have an Amazing gallery, there's a strong sense of style and sense of color throughout your work !!!!....fantastic captures !!!...congrats.

I am most flattered to have received such a high rating from someone of your talent. I love your work. It inspires me to add color to my folders.

Sarah, for starters, thanks on your kind words and ratings on my photograph here: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2319696

Moving on - I find your portfolio truly inspirational. Rich, saturated colours move me in more ways than one - and your photographs pop with colours!

I love the diversity in your images - whether they be portraits, street scenes or landscapes - your work encompasses them all - and in an extremely powerfull way. As I said, truly inspirational.

While my work does not hold a candle to your own, I am constantly striving to improve my work. While I am yet to develop a personal style of my own, I do tend to drift towards colourful scenes, wide perspectives and capturing people in their natural environment.

I would be grateful if you could view my work and give me any tips - including constuctive criticism (no matter how harsh) of how I may improve my work. Thanks in advance.

excellent, vibrant colors. and i like the composition as well.

work and beautiful pictures.

Excellent photographs, lovely eye for colors, I enjoyed this portfolio very much, thanks!

Sarah, I won't insult you writing about composition and balance, because with your pictures, you are celebrating the joy of life.

Cheers to you!
bruno.

Love the color stuff especially!

Your portfolio has some really creative abstracts and very tasteful portraits, very vernacular and very simple !

Amazing Work - Simply Wonderful.

What can I say??? It's all been said... I truly enjoyed looking at your portfolio!

Nice pictures. I like how, in two of your albums (people and april 03) you caught a special light in the eyes of some of your portraits (eg. teething girl), I always look for that particular reflection, but I have no sample worth uploading. Congratulations.

Your portfolio is incredible, you have a nice technique and a flare for color and composition. Nice work!

Beautiful portfolio. Your work with and command of color is remarkable. I especially like the "Color" folder. Thanks for sharing these images with us and thanks for rating and commenting on so many photos.

thank you, your work inspired me

A prolific, inspiring, and very accomplished portfolio. You are definitely on my list of those to visit. And thanks for looking at my stuff. Regards

Your work is exceptional and is an inspiration for me to go forth and make more and better photographs.

I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to comment on one of my photos. :) I a just looked at your portfolio and I have to concur with everyone's comments before mine. You work really is exceptional. The colors and expressions are breath taking. Very inspiring indeed :)

... are precious to the photography community.

Keep on !!

A WOW portfolio. Vibrant colours and life that is what your PF breaths. Great shooting Sarah

I find your work very good and interesting. Strong compositions, with a mastery in using colour and placing the viewer in new, attractive points of perspective. And exactly this latter particular element, which elevates usual and taken for granted spots to something worthy of our attention, discovering their relative nature and the hidden aspects within things, this is I think exceptional and probably the strongest point here... But just here is where I also find one contradiction. It relates to the folder 'symbols', as well as to those soldier photos that were recently removed, and which surprisingly seem to lack that aforementioned critical quality. (Sadly, the folder with the soldier photo was removed without a reply, shortly after I criticised it for mirroring the army's ideological construction and advertisement: 'clever' idealisation of some imaginative heroic individual and indirectly of war). In fact, although such social subjects carry an inherent conflict of interpretation, and an actual investment upon them of specific meaning in time and space by particular power groups, here they are presented as mere aesthetic objects, as if they are what they say they are. I don't know if this is a conscious choice, but it's difficult to work thematically (symbols are not mere aesthetic objects and when presented as such it is an uncritical presentation of the mainstream interpretation). I add these comments as a constructive critique and out of respect for your talent and vision.

Impressive body of work showing disciplined technical skills to consistently capture and present the vision of an excellent eye for design.

I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing your portfolio Sarah and I just wanted to say that I think you have a wonderful eye for finding the details in the "mundane" objects around us. You have a wonderful ability to capture colour and abstraction in your subjects to provide interesting compositions that remind the viewers of the photos that there is beauty all around us if we just open our eyes and are receptive to it. Keep up the great work!

Sarah, you have an outstanding portfolio of excellent pictures. Rarely to be seen fine art travel photography! Thanks for sharing. Best regards, Helmut

Wow, you know how to make good travel photos... Very inspiring, very good!!

grts John Belmer

It looks like the color photography was invented for you, Sarah.... Wonderful portfolio with great vivid colors!!!

Your portfolio is an explosion in colours. Love it. I become glad when I look at your photos. Keep up the good work. Ciao Annika

All of your photos beckon me to places soaked in color and make me want to give up my 9 to 5 and travel the world. These are so vibrant and lovely. I especially love this photo of the little girl on her bike... http://gallery.photo.net/photo/2446847-lg.jpg

One of the most colourful and beautiful folio on phto.net. Superb pictures.Heartiest congratulations.

Thsi folder is a celebration of time, colors, places , people ...what a pleasure watch and learn!

it s a beautiful porfolio. best wishes...

Thank you for your nice word and ratings :)
It is rewarding to have such return from a photographer that I put as interesting :)

every single picture you show here is worth to be looked at for a long time... your pictures touch me . . . my english is too bad. i cannot find the right words to express what they make me feel. i just love them! regards, anne

I'm really impressed by your photos. A collection of poetry in pictures.

I, like one of the other people who commented on your work am flattered by the comment and ratings when I see yours. Your work is amazing - beautiful and what I would aspire to have in my portfolio - we live in a beautiful world with unique people and beautiful colors - you have proof of this :) Amazing work, stunning - I am sure some day I will provide more specific feedback on your work on a image by image basis but for now I feel it would just be many of the same words repeated over and over again "lovely" "amazing" "great work" "amazing colors" "very creative" etc - I can't think of what else to say at this point - left me speechless :)

Great folder ! very pleasing to sit and study your work and full of colour...

Hay Sara,

I have seen your name so many times here on PN and this is the first time I enter your work. It is realy an impressive variated collection, with formal quality and fine content. You love people and color, balancing it out in original compositions. It seems you see the optimistic side of life and know the way to frame this optimism. SUPER. mikje

Absolutly beautiful shots. They really are one better than the other.

Hi Sarah, I just happed upon your portfolio and just love your stuff. The colors are spectacular. Accolades to you! Ken

I LOVE you color photos!!!!!!

It is awesome portfolio!! Great!

an exceptional travel portfolio, also mine is reporting people portraits from all over the world but I can't compete with your. I would be honoured if you could have a look to it

Ciao

Hmmm..."W-O-W!"...yeah, that pretty much covers it. Extraordinary.

I wish I could see things the way you do. Your "DC at Night" is a fantastic view of the memorial. "Girls just wanna have fun" is amazing.

Your eye for color and composition is just fantastic.

Great sense of the color, great sense of the perspective, great descriptive sensibility... great!

Well traveled and your eye is well tuned. Impressive collection you have here.

You're good, you are very good!

your work is wonderful,i like it!ciao giorgio

You have a strong vision for composing with color - the "Color" portfolio is dizzying. And your portraits are, separately, strong and vibrant - you're not afraid to get in close.

Your work is very vibrant and you have a keen eye for seeing shots in the least expected places. I'll be back often.

You have an amazing portfolio... a lot of beautiful pictures and original point of view. Thanks for sharing... thanks for your words. Saludos desde Mexico!

The colors, the B&W combined with a great eye...bravo.

viewing your portfolio is quite simply a lesson in culture. having recently returned from South America myself, your photos from that continent are particularly delightful to my eyes. great work across the board!!

Your portfolio is growing out of proportions :). So much to see, so little time but enough space on the server to show it. I will take my time running through your new work. Thanks for the nice comment on the door, much appreciated :]

Thank you for not only sharing your incredible catalog of work, but also for being a consistently positive influence on so many people here. I certainly appreciated my first comments and I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

your technique I envy.

Sarah:

Your shots are wonderful and it's amazing how you and my sister photograph so much alike - a lot of talent in both of you. Did you both share the same camera on your trip:-)

Sarah... Since I know you and I look regularly at your pictures, I'm amazed each times you put new ones. You know how to make an amazing composition with a simple subject. You also have a great eye for colors and make funky blend with them. Keep it up please, for our eye pleasures.

Great shots, great colors, great prospective.....

people like you inspire's me THANK you for u'r comment on my picture ! u r amazing photographer i will defiantly chak on u , but would u maind chaking on me from time to time and give me some tip's i will really appreciate it thank you so much !!!

Sarah, thank you for your view of the world.

Hello Sarah,

I love your colorful pics.

Thanks for all this.

Bye

i like u r fotos very much,sarah

Two thumbs up!!! =)
It is fabulous portfolio!!

thanks a lot for your thoughts on those weird orange abstracts i have been doing lately. your portfolio is pretty damn awesome, i like your choice in subjects, thanks again, take it easy.

I frquently forget this comment area is available. I apologize for not leaving a comment earier. Alzheimers! Anyway, I have long been a fan of yours. I love your unique view point, your use of color to paint a work of art, and your consistent flare for seeing the abstract in the ordinary. It's always a real pleasure to view your images, truly inspiring.

I will be visiting this portfolio more often. I love it. Great work!

Sarah, thanks for your visiting my portfolio. I was dazzled by your portfolio, it's a pleasure to linger on this page.

Great,

Bram

Your composition superb. Graphic elements carefully chosen with just the right juxtaposition. You have quite an eye for found designs. You also capture images of people remarkably well. Seeing you're very well travelled, I wondered if you're a journalist, in the travel business or perhaps a missionary? All of those endeavor's allow you access to some very uncommon moments, people, and places. I think you've done amazingly well with all those uncommon people, places and moments. Perhaps you'll publish your memoirs at a time when you're not globe trotting? I'd bet it would be pretty interesting! Thank-you for sharing such an inspirational look at our world. Sarah, sent you an e-mail on 11/22/04 check your mail when you have a chance. Thanks. You have become one of my favorite digital artisan's.

Sarah ,you have a great eye for photos, especially people pictures. Brava !!!!!!!!!

I love the "Drive by Vegas" and "Something New". Keep up the great work.

Ramsey

I came againg to see your portfolio and I'm really convinced that is one of the best portfolio of travel photography... my best compliments

Love your portfolio !! Very nice job.

Sarah, you have a keen eye and a wonderful portfolio...different, diverse and thought provoking. Thank you for sharing.

... special views explored with an original mind...

Sarah! I highly appreciate you on your aesthetic sense & the endeavor you made to catch the "colours" from Baluchistan (Pakistan) & war torn Qandhar (Afghanistan). Hope you won't mind if these pictures put some of your visitors to a smile underguise of interpreting that it was not just a trip to catch simply photographs but something else more.Anyway, great job really!

stunning portfolio! i am at awe with your variety of subjects, destinations, perspectives, etc...as well as your ability to capture people and places so brilliantly. thanks for sharing.

to be sure.

Congratulations... You have an amazing portfolio. Great sensibility and a keen eye. Gracias por compartir tu vision del mundo y FELICIDADES!!! (01/13/05)

GREAT SARAH, YOUR PORTFOLIO IS A TRIP IN THE COLORS!! FANTASTIC!! CONGRAT, CIAO!

Sarah - I'm working on being more "global" about photo.net ... as in, not just concentrating on one or two images at a time, but looking through entire portfolios. :-)

Yours is amazing. I have always had a great appreciation for your images ... but spending some time looking at the portfolio as a whole has renewed my appreciation for your artwork.

I think that the thing that I appreciate most is that you remind me of the passion that I have, personally, for the many different cultures that exist on this grand planet. So many Americans have a great inability to look beyond our own culture. You are able to capture not only the things that are unique to us Yankees, but force us to go beyond ourselves and place value on those who aren't like us (or are they???) Every visit to your work sparks that passion anew in my heart ... and I can even go to work (in the international community that exists in Arlington) and love what I do more than I did yesterday.

Thank you!!

do you know J.Maisel? Would love for you to pick 10 of your favorite images and place them in a folder. enjoying your work ... thanks db ... agfp@mac.com

Really enjoyed viewing your portfolio. What a wonderful sense of style and composition you have! I am looking forward to seeing more of your work and hope that it doesn't take too long for you to post additional photographs to your wonderful portfolio!

Jeff

Love your work, your eye, your compositions...Looking forward the next posting. Cheers

Sarah, your command of color and composition is impressive. I have seldom seen such consistently good portfolios as yours. Very few average images here and no mediocres. Very fine work!

Really wonderful portfolio... started to rate, but stopped... too many fantastic photos.. Excellent work

You have a huge portfolio! the quality it is excellent, I would like to spend some more time on it and comment/rate the ones I like most.

Excellent. Nikiforos.

spectacular images!

Bravo - what a beautiful body of work Sarah. Places you've been, people and things your camera has touched and frozen...loved the tour.

This is my second visit to your portfolio, and this time there are even more excellent images than the last. You have a great eye for colour and pattern. Best wishes.

Hi Sarah, thanks for commenting on the ini mini miny photograph. I was pretty sure I would be getting remarks about the washed out colour and the shadow so on popular demand I have put up another one, right in your street. Thanks again :)

What a lovely portfolio you have. Compositionally excellent and lovely saturation. Wonderful!

Simply wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Sarah, Giving a look to your portfolio i have been it by the quantity (and the quality) of color pictures you have done. As a b/w photographer i really miss the colorful side of life, and caming here gave me a good replenishment of greens, red, deep yellows. I like you shoot many portraits and ambience portraits, i feel you are really talented on the matter. I also loved your closeups - some are really burned into my mind.... there is one, yello, plastic, probably an inflatable cushion... and i don't know why i keep thinking about it.... I am happy to have discovered your folder, i hope to see your images from time to time, and i will stop by anytime possible. Regards. g.

This is a great portfolio, some of the best pictures I have seen. Much appreciated

Excellent work! I am encouraged by your work :) AP

Sarah, every day your work is getting more colorful , more exciting ! Thank you so much for your comments you leave always for me in my portfolio! Its always an honor for me to be rated and commended by an artist like you. Thank you so much. Michael

Very nice work. You really have the right idea when it comes to using color not for color's sake, but to form an image. (hopefully that makes sense) And it's not just the color, either...it's the choice of subjects, the composition, and your technical competency. Keep on keepin' on!

Your portraits and abstracts are truly inspirational. If you have any sage advice for one who is starting to look seriously at the art of capturing people, it would be much appreciated. You have a unique perspective... that is clearly creative and full of interest in the subject.

I often browse the portfolios of people who have posted critiques on my portfolio, mainly to better understand their critiques. But this time it's been a unique experience. and I feel honoured and belittled at the same time for having received your critique. thanks for being here and sharing your talent with us.

Sarah, like Marco has well said, browsing your portfolio is a never ending surprise how well you combine and manage color, composition, perspective, etc. Everything is so wisely balanced. I dare to say that having you around is something that a begginner like me should always treasure. Regards,

Thank you for your comment on my Art Museum portfolio. I have to echo the numerous positive comments made by others regarding your own work. Very impressive and a great diversification of styles. Keep up the great work and best of luck to you. - Tim

it it my pleasure to see your work!!! Thanks for ratings on my portoflio :)

Interesting shapes, warm colors, extraordinary looks, fine pics: Wonderful portfolio. This evening, I want to investigate your all pics. Thanks for sharing.

Sarah, I see that you made some nice comments about my Polaroids some time ago. Now that I see your work those compliments are magnified 1000X. If I could join in celebrating your talent; I think your stuff is deserving of a more gallery-like environment. Collections of prints (sic) more or less the same size, framed and matted. Spaced would be nice (by uploading transparent html?). That's another topic. For now I'd like to start lobbying for a Polaroid section in the photo.net galleries. You mentioned looking for some. Yes? I have posted more myself. Come on by. BTW, is it possible to give a rating to a whole collection? Congratulations.

Your photography is outstanding. I love the real life portraits. Incredible.

Color's paradise! amazing Sarah! brava!

You portfolio is really marvellous...

Great colors and compositions. Thanks!!!!

I love your colors...great studies !!!

Sometimes you get to a new set of folders and just go 'wow', stunning stuff. You have a wonderful eye for the creative and colorful side of life, a real pleasure viewing these! Really provides inspiration, thanks.

Sarah, fabulous work. I love your use of colour.

Very best wishes. Peter

Sarah, you've put together a really great selection of images here. Lots of vibrant colours and textures. Your portrait work is excellant too. Thanks for sharing. DaveP

You travelled a lot and good results are there

Rich, expressive and excellent work.

Sarah, your work is inspiring. This is exactly the kind of Photography I like, travel included (looks like you have been everywhere :)
Excellent use of light, composition, colors. Magnificient portraits and scenes. Really impressive... Bravo.

Been admiring your fine work Sarah. Appreciate your supportive comments - it's a privilege to see them.

Sarah your eye for colour and detail is amazing: it is always a great pick-me-up to pass through the pictures you've made. Thanks for sharing them congratulations

Bevan

Thanks for so much good stuff. I especially like your American pieces and your incredible graphic/color shots.

Hi Sarah, you have a great eye for colors and a even greater affection for people. Very good photos.

I think I am not alone in admiring your folder . Great collection. Regards. Klaus

I am blown away by your color graphic work. You appear to seek out design elements that work well together. I have something for you to try that was a revelation for me. Next time you're out and looking for graphic color design elements to shoot, I want you to stop and change your focus. Just try this little focus shifting technique: Look for "ugly color". In other words, find colors you think are just plain ugly, garrish no, (too close to the graphic colors you 're looking at already) butt-ugly yes! Let me know what you think of the resultant images with the "ugly color" as primary subject. Try and stick to all "ugly colors" only. Don't mix any pretty vibrant Blues or warm, bright Yellow, keep me posted!

beautiful images

I'm totally impresses by your work! Strong sence of composition and technical skills like seldom seen. You are truely gifted...

You seem able to see the beauty in things where many would just pass by without even noticing it. Your portfolio is a true joy to look at, a feast of colours and impressions.

Very good eye.

i wish i had your vision and tallent, seeing you photos really makes me feel as a lesser one of the male species. id take my hat of to you if i had one. excellent shots

Very color very hot very strong portfolio.Congrat..

Amazing colours do you bring us all over the world!!! Beautiful rich... I love your earthy eye! Really great portfolio, makes me want to travel even more... hihi.... thanks for your kind words at my work.... greetz!

sono impressionato dalla tua grande tecnica e dal tuo occhio. particolari e oggetti quasi insignificanti diventano giochi di luci e colori, di linee e di forme. non ho studiato fotografia, non sono quindi abbastanza esperto per poterne essere sicuro, ma credo che da te ci sia molto da imparare. complimenti ancora. ciao

Even your Black and Whites are colourful! You've travelled fairly extensively, capturing the local colour (pardon the pun) very well - I particularly like your Moroccan set as well as the drive by's. Congratulations on a first class portfolio.

I visited a few times your portfolio.Very colourfull and nice shuts.I like the most, very different countries togather in your portfolio with peace (I hope for world future).Thanks for sharing all.Best regards...

Hi Sarah .. your photo collection are amazing.. I think you have a very good eye for composition.
Those 'unconventional crops', makes your photos very attractive. They're really inspiring.

Greetings from Java
Ben

I am always fascinated by the imaginative people who 'see' interesting patterns and colors in the things that we usually pass by and make such beautiful images with it. Of course, you are one of them. Your abstracts remind me of another interesting artist here on PN (someone else). To me it is a nice thing. I hope you don't mind the comparison.

Sarah, Thank you for allowing me to journey with you in this Amazing and colorful world of yours. What a portfolio!!! Truely an Artist and a Great Photographer.

You know, sometimes I think my work is pretty good until I come across a portfolio that defines the word "good". Then I am embarrassed by my presumption and I see my photographs as they really are in the light of the work of a master. The fact that you took the time to look at them and were kind enough to leave a comment is both encouraging and a much-needed lesson in humility. Thank you very much. Regards, Jack

ps: I think the thing I notice most about your pictures is thst it seems you have so much fun taking them. They are filled with light and joy.

Beautiful work Sarah, especially the color work (and I am a b&w fan). Please keep posting your photos!

Your portfolio - an extraordinary perspective of the everyday. May I join the chorus of admirers.

Mike Lehrman

Fabulaous, especially your stripped down images. Have you ever heard of Miksang photography? It is a program of camera based meditation that involves images that are very similar to yours in that there are so many of your pictures that are just raw bits of percetion and therefore look very fresh. I have taken the program and loved it. If it sounds interesting just Google for miksang.net

Cheers.

All the spirit and colors of the world. Like flipping the pages of several years of National Geo...high praise indeed. Love your work, as always.

Like the comment above, to look through your portfolio is like looking through National Geographic. I am flattered that you took a moment to comment on one of my images. Your portfolio is stunning. It is artists as you that have made P Net such an incredible learning experience and continue to be so. Your images reflect not only a love of your art but a love for the people that you photograph and love of the world that sorrounds you. I hope that you continue to have an interest in my work, since it through artists as you that I continue to learn.

Thank you very much.

What a wonderful portfolio, Sarah. I have always had difficulty with travel photos, as often I feel a disappointment on return, not being able to capture the moment. These pics show that it can be done. Inspiring.

Hi Sarah, congratulations for your portfolio, it celebtrates the joy of life! you have a great eye for colours and details, together with composition. Your colours vibrate and make your photos take life!

You have a wonderful eye for color and very original angles. There is an un-cluttered-ness to your photos and they each seem to have a very definative message. Wonderful work throughout!!!

Sarah, Without a doubt, one of the finest Portfolios I've ever been through. Portraits of people from so many areas of the world. One of the strongest patriotic displays I've ever had the privilege to view. Colors, shapes, and landscapes; you are a great photographer and your work is a great joy to behold.....Jim

Sarah, this is one of the most impressive portfolios i have seen. I loved the diversity in which your talent as photographer manifests itself.

Where have you been all this time? I can't believe the quality, the color. the tone and above all the artistic vision captured on these photos. You are a very talented and amazing image writer. Cheers,Raphael

So many great photos. So many colors. Great photo gallery. Regards, DDD

I like very much the way people see your camera, that?s very interesting. Congratulations!

Hello Sarah, Thanks for the kind words about my work. I love your use of super saturated color and your sense of the abstract. Cheers, Raymond

Fantastic colors and an unstopable eye for composition. Thank you for sharing.

Happy New Year! Thank you for all your support and comments on my photos in 2005. May 2006 be a very good year for you and your family, Best wishes from Dallas Texas

I have been following your work for several years, but have neglected to let you know how much I admire your choice of subjects and use of color. Your work is fabulous and I always come back and find it inspiring. Thanks for pushing me along.

Your folder is excellent Sarah, love how the colors and abstracts work together for you. You have a great eye. Regards, Bill.

I love your people pic. All of your shots are great and the color they are what I call island pictures.Thank you for stopping by Keep shooting you have a nice eye Regards Bob

Wonderful compositions and colours

Hello Sarah, thank you very much. regards Stefan

Impressive portfolio, I enjoy your work very much. - Siri

Your photographs delight the eye and engage the mind. There is much to be learned about seeing photographically from your work.

Color is just bursting out of your portfolio :) love the interesting compositions and those lovely portraits.

I like both your coloured abstract pictures and your pictures of people from the world. Really an excellent portfolio!

You know, I don't even shoot color, but I know outstanding work when I see it...and your color work is simply gorgeous. Especially your Oaxaca work. Like paintings. Compliments.

Sarah, I greatly enjoy viewing your photos. You apparently have an eye for colour and composition and clearly, nothing gets past you. You've managed to extract interesting and eye-pleasing images out of the most ordinary of subjects. Your travel photos are also a great enticement to visit the places you portray with your concentration on native portraits showing your interest in the people that surround you. Thankyou for sharing them.

Sarah, I have always loved and admired your work.

great eye,such vivid colors,amazing composition... a feast for the eye kind of portfolio. congrats

This is deffenitly a nice portfolio. Alot of color. I like it.

Great work Sarah, have you any plans to go back to Oaxaca someday? If you so, let me know, maybe we can meet there.

Jose, I will be back someday! I do want to get back down to Mexico, maybe another Colonial City...I wish I had said something on PN before I left....maybe I could have met up with some others from PN and shoot, I did go by myself. I will let you know if I get back to Mexico. Where are you from? Thank you for looking at my portfolio!

Excellent portfolio full of pleasant surprizes!

You have an excellent sense of colors and shapes. spectacular photos.

I am in agreement with everyone before me! Great work.I like the choice of colour and composition in your work.Thanks for your comments.I look forward to tracking your work too. Adam Paine

Great portfolio, I love your use of color...

Sarah, geat images in a great portfolio. You have terrific eye for photographic geometry, and a great eye for colour. Regards

Sarah, you have a spectacular portfolio. As it has been said before, your vision and use of colours and shapes is truly outstanding. You have some of the most remarkable subjects, things that I would never think of shooting (like the sinks and the hotel room TV and window). There are just so many images here that I could comment on (all kudos) but I'd be here all night! :o) I am going away this weekend and will keep your vision in mind and explore from there. Thanks for sharing.

A great color work, a wonderful portfolio congratulations

Sarah, thanks for commenting on my photo as it brought me to your portfolio and it is fantastic. You have a great eye for colorful abstract shots which brings you into them.

Every time I visit your pictures I want to jump on a jet and visit another part of the world. I appreciate the colors you see and pick out and then photograph.

You've got a wonderful eye for composition and color. Marvelous portfolio. John

I am overwhelmed. This is not normal anymore :) You have such magnificent photo's. All these colors, the peoplepictures and and....so very creative. Excellent. (i am jealous right now:) )

Beautiful portfolio! "Very high standard" would be putting it mildly. You certainly have the view of a master photographer. All the best. Kent Bovin

Impressive portfolio Sarah! Great eye for particulars, wonderful compositions and colors! My compliments. Massimo

Markos

Excellent portfolio!

I have been meaning to comment on your portfolio for sometime now but felt somewhat overwhelmed. I am a big admirer and wanted to state the obvious of which your work is simply spectacular. I also wanted to thank you, as you are the main reason I stumbled across PN and decided to get re-engaged in photography. I discovered your work and inquired on some images to purchase and well, I am now spending unreasonable amounts of time looking at yours and other talented people?s fine work. You are a great advocate and talent. I enjoyed visiting the 180 degree website. Looks very interesting. Thanks for the inspiration.

What lovely collection of photos, wonderful colours and angles. I enjoyed your gallery greatly. Cheers.

Hi Sarah,

Excellent people shots, and diverse portfolio, very inspiring!!

Very clean and colourfull pictures, I love the way you have used the surroundings to get straight and simple lines and you must have an exellent eye for colours and form. No need to say Keep up the good work, I suspect you allready are. Thanks for sharing!!

fred

Great and original portfolio, green images are the best.Lovely images, sensible person!

Nothing left to say as it's been said by all! Every photo seems to show a slice of real life. Best I've seen on PN. Thanks for sharing your talent.

Sarah....You wrote "I have learned that all people want to live their lives in peace, without fear, with freedom to just live"

This is so very true.

YOu also say "I have learned that family is the most important thing to all people on this planet I see happiness everywhere."

Family is the most important thing and yes there is happiness everywhere...but there is also, too much sadness.

I wish you the very best with all your adventures.

Your portfolio is wonderful.

rochelle

You certainly have cornered the walls/doors/windows market! Very nice travel photography which is my own first love. Keep'em coming.

Colors, composition, exposure....you got it all figured out. Great work!!! I wonder how did you get to shoot those pictures with soldiers?:) Keep up the good work

fantastic and varied range of photographs

This is a great portfolio, Sarah. Congrats!

Impressive portfolio. I adore your skill with colors.

Sarah, you have a unique talent with a unique perspective in all of your images. Your talent brims with your use of colour and form; you use it like a painter. Truly remarkable work with so many exquisite images. It has been a real pleasure. -David

I like: Oaxaca, New Color, Drive By: Vegas

Sarah, I 've kept coming back to your portfolio a few times recently, after reading your comments on other photographers' pictures. I felt so impressed and humble in front of your work, and a little shy too. I would like to thank you very much for leaving a comment on one of my photographs. Kindest regards, Laurent.

By accident, yours is the first portfolio I stumbled on while browsing PN for the first time, a few months ago. I was practically new to photography and had not *really* looked at many photographs before. But I recall quite vividly the strong impression of lightness, openness and freedom your brilliant images and unencombered style left me with, and what an eye-opener they were for me.

A few days later, and not by accident anymore, your name was the first one in my "interesting people" list. :)

I admire your avid and clever eye, and marvel at how consistent and recognizable your vision is, as well as its wide range, from playful to caring and compassionate.

And I think I bring with me a little bit of your infectious enthusiasm for colors and people every time I go out shooting.

Hi Sarah,

Like most people, I'm curious about the people who leave comments on my pictures, and your comment on my picture Contrast & Symmetry made me pay a visit to your portfolio - and I'm glad I did.

It's an amazing collection of pictures you've chosen to share with us...

Thanks to all for looking, and leaving comments. It can really make my day!:))))

Great portfolio, my compliments

Liked a lot of the Faces folder. Your work very well with colors and composition. Congratulations!

Great work with colors and geometry... congrats!

COMPLIMENT!

Very nice portfolio, I like the tones you use! well done. gaetano (thank you so much for feedback you gave me).

There are a lot of really outstanding photos in your portfolio. Too many to comment upon at this time. I intend to come back and make some individual comments. Obviously you are a master of color and composition. Good eye and technical expertise. Thanks for the tour.

I knew you would delete my comment, but I at least hope you read it. I also hope you don't think I'm being nasty or trying to have an argument, because I was careful to word that response in a very calm and respectful manner.

Mike

To put it in mild words, simply stunning portfolio. You really master in using the colors to compose the photos. My very warmest congratulations for your art and talent!

wow..sarah...your portfolio is simply stunning. You have given me inspiration and creative ideas on your portraits and street shots. You have also given me that extra nudge i needed to purchase the 80-200mm. So thank you billions!

Please post more!

jams

I've enjoyed your portfolio a lot, colors are great, and portraits, everything!

Very nice and interesting portfolio. Best regards!

Your work is astounding...far too many excellent images to comment on individually, so saying "bravo" to your entire portfolio. :)

Sarah,

I have really enjoyed looking through your portfolio, you take great photos. The thing that stands out for me is your ability to capture emotion especially in your portraits and doco-style photos. Your protfolio is one that has something to say - fantastic job.

cheers

Sarah ;o)

Sarah

Beautifull portfolio. A lot of different subjects. My preferences: the new and all colour...

Very good work reflected in your portfolio. And many thanks for your comments.

Really extensive and varied portfolio. Love the colours, but was instantly drawn to such interesting subject matter such as 'day job'. Seems you can turn your hand (and camera) to all themes.

Nice one.

Simply outstanding work, I enjoy your portfolio very much. Tony

Very interesting images, I like the way you use color. Obviously, hard work=amasing results... Congratulatios! Dionisios.

Great style, truly inspiring! marco

congrats for this portfolio! regards Alfredo

Thanks a lot for looking at my photos. It's highly appreciated. Your portfolio is awesome! Great job!

Kostas

Hello Sarah,

I wish you, your family and your friends a happy and prosperous new year. Thanks for all your support, ratings and comments on my photos in 2006. It helped me a lot to improve my shots and I hope I will be able to learn a lot more from your valuable inputs in the coming months. Wish you a successful 2007 with a lot of nice photos.

Rejith Warrier

Thank you for your critiques and ratings through out the year. Happy New Year and all the best, take care.

Bellas imagenes, gran trabajo documental y un total dominio del color. Un abrazo y un prospero 2007. Nunca olvides la camara en casa.

Amazing portfolio, especially like the color-geometric photos, but everything is excellent. Thanks for sharing.

A colourful portfolio with lots of good work.
But your b/w portfolio "Something New" is really something else - it is great!

is this about photography? or about how FANTASTIC we are? GREAT GREAT GREAT! WOW!

Sandra, thanks for stopping by----what an absolutely eye-popping portfolio you have here---great stuff, wonderful colors and variety---Michael

...more than wanderfull, and I must say in some ways very similar to me. I like you.

Sarah, your work is just stunning. The colors are alive and the portraits speak volumes. Simply beautiful! amy

Sarah, your portfolio is just stunning. Far to much to absorb in one session. I will be back. Regards Clive

very interesting portfolio!!! I like it!

Been a fan of your work for some time now. Thank you for posting such a diverse portfolio. Please don't stop! Best wishes and be safe.

Wow, such fantastic colours!!

Keep going Sarah, well done!

All The Best

Shaun

Where are you ? portfolio deleted "i am sure you have your reasons"- lucky me i saved some of your Morocco beautiful photos ...blue city ..etc - whatever be well .Markos .

Thanks Sarah for your comments on my photo. I'll crop it and see what it looks like.

Thanks for your comment.

hey Sarah ..I love your photos of San Miguel ...visit there often and love that town. Just got back from there after experiencing Independence day ..weekend:)

Surely, I remember there being more images in your portfolio. What happened? There are only ten now? I hope the pictures all come back.

Very nice portfolio....Cong....

where are your photos? I miss them

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

Excellent portfolio.

Very interesting game with colors! It`s wonderful!

Tremendous use of colours. And what I realised that you love to use the geometrical forms in your frames. (I may be wrong) but somehow I loved it a lot. Wish to see more and more pix from you. Warm regards....

We will always remember you Sarah. Thank you for all your beautiful work. Very sad indeed to know you are gone.

With your unique eye for color, shape and composition, you have made an indelible mark on the world. You will not be forgotten. Rest in peace, Sarah.

Thank you for being a part of all our lives. You will be missed...

We miss you, Sarah. We hope you can hear us.

--Lannie

I'm glad to have communicated with you over the years Sarah. Love your colorful images and will miss you dearly.

The short time I knew you on this site, you were always genial and friendly, a lady of the highest quality who will surely be missed, but definitely not forgotten. Mark Anthony was wrong: the good are not always interred with our bones. May you rest in peace.

I will miss you a lot dear friend ,i have no words ......goodbye.

The world has lost a wonderful human being.

A brilliant and insightful photographic artist who will surely be missed by her fellow artisans, friends and family. Our condolences can be forwarded to Sarah's family through the guestbook that they created on Yahoo's web site: http://www.geocities.com/ruckypuck/. It appears they were quite astounded at the level of interaction and communication with the numbers of photographers and artists that she had communicated with over the last decade. She will surely be missed by all through the numerous times and levels of interactions we have had with her over the years regarding life, photography as a career, and imaging arts. I think that many people are totally unaware of her stellar photographic career, she has published work in; Time, Newsweek, The Boston Globe, The LA Times and in several photo-illustrated AP wire service photo-illustrated feature stories. She was really a photo-journalist of the first magnitude. She didn't show much of that work here but she was also a first-rate photographic artist and chose to pursue what she deemed to be more creative pursuits on this site. Sarah had been most recently working for the US Army at a research facility near Boston, MA. Some of her extensive Army and photo-journalism work can be found at her Lightstalkers.org site. I am grateful to you all for having shared your thoughts and concerns on PN over the years, and I know we will all greatly miss Sarah's gifted presence in so many ways.

Sarah, Thank you for being a wonderful friend. Have a peaceful journey. Shalom

JustKen ...

God Bless you Sarah, farewell. Thank you for the good things you left with us. ~Sky

A little thought for you, Sara. I loved your photos. Now you are in peace. Look at us.

Ciao, Raffaella

we would not have seen what we saw, together we were shown more than what was there. A nice person, a great photographer. An even greater memory will live on in all of us because of you. God Bless you Sarah.

I love the way you are bringing love and smile in the world around you, never saw you, never been with you, but somehow your spirit was strong enough to reach me, I am faraway, Croatia, and I will miss your photos and warm heart...rest in peace dear Sarah

..darko

Extreme sadness is my feeling when I learnt tonight of Sarah's passing. A huge lost for PN, of a true artist, and a great person. May you rest in peace and all the colors still dance around you wherever you may be.

Sarah I will miss you. It is sad to realize that we won't be seeing your colorful photographs anymore. Your work showed us so much through your eyes known for the best compositions. I am glad to have posted pictures with you here and know your work. I will miss you and will remember you in my prayers. God bless you.... It is so sad that Alberto Conde who commented praising your work has also left us recently... Yuri Bonder too left us.... I am saddened...regards, Rajeev.

R.I.P

Sarah was such a wonderful photographer. She was an inspiration to people like me when I started out taking photographs. More than a photographer, she was a lady with a golden heart. I remember the many emails we have exchanged about our photographs. I just cant believe that she is no more with us. Sarah, I know you are up there and watching all of us. You might not be around, but you would always be an inspiration. We love you. Let your sould rest in peace.

Whatever the reason was - its hard to see a blooming flower cut.

You were the first one to comment on a picture of mine, giving me a warm and witty welcome - I won't be the last one to write here how much we do and will miss you -

You didn't know it, but you frequently brightened my day with your comments on my images and more profoundly the brightly colored, beautifully composed images you put up yourself as models for all of us to see.

We lost an artist, who was one of the best in abstract I ever seen in PN

amaizing portfolio with excellents colours regards

after being away from Pnet. for some time...i was looking through my portfolio and found a nice comment that Sarah had left. although i try to respond to every comment sent my way, somehow i had overlooked Sarah's. i felt quite saddened. i miss the wonderful photographs that Sarah would have taken...but most of all, i just miss Sarah.

I am here again. Missing you and your great work.

I am sure the sun is shining bright wherever you are.

Sarah, thinking about you. you are dearly missed!

You have completely revamped you photo.net gallery since the last time I visited. I really enjoy viewing your work, but am sorry to see some of the other things go. The little girl's shoes on the tile floor is one shot that comes to mind in particular. I hope that some day you will create an album with some of your "Classics" in it.

Keep up the great work, Sarah!.

Lou Ann tells us that it would be your birthday, Sarah, had you stayed with us. We miss you, and we know that the light is very good where you are.

Your strong geometrical forms and equally strong color combinations will live on in our minds and souls.

--Lannie

Sarah, I only found out today of your untimely passing and I can't tell you how saddened I am by this horrible news. I can't believe it has been nearly 2 years since you have left us and I am only now finding out.I feel almost as bad about the fact that I didn't know as I do to know that you are no longer with us. Although I never met you, I have a great deal of respect for you and the work you did and am also a huge fan of the photos you posted here on Photo.net. I was so honored when you marked me as "interesting", and was always thrilled when you made a comment on one of my photos. I am going to miss you so very, very much. Goodbye, Sarah, may you rest in peace.
