Craig

I have been distracted the last year and a half and haven't had time to pursue my photography. When I came back here to pBase, I find that you are still one of the best and most creative photographers here. Not trying to make your head big, but your photographs are absolutely awesome. I love your style and vision. Your photos always inspire me.

Thank you for your nice comment to my pic.

Craig, your galleries are an education for someone that gets caught up with the technology side of photography, proof that you don't need to spend thousands to produce stunning and imaginative photographs, brilliant
Jose Canovas 15-Aug-2006 15:04
Thanks for sharing such great talent with us. You are a real source of inspiration!

Craig, did you know that I (Lito)have a lot of comments on Rod ostoski-space shuttle sts1 but it was deleted from yesterday July 11, 2006. I believe he couldn't take the critique I layed out for him so he deleted my comments.
Clarke & Emi 11-Jul-2006 03:05
Love your pictures, each of them is wonderful, they are simple , but clever and I like your style - make every picture very clear cut, but very impressive. Will come back for more.
Emi
Peter Chou 04-Jul-2006 12:46
Love your perspective and vision! You truly made the mundane look different and exciting!
Rob Overcash 29-Jun-2006 05:05
Fantastic stuff in your galleries and I particularly like the processing techiniques applied to a number of the images ... transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Thanks for the recent compliment on one of my recent PaD images; I'm flattered you took the time to stop by and comment. :) Cheers

Hi Craig, Another Canadian! yay! Lived near Mt. Royal as a kid. Thank you for your comment on my site. Your shots inspire me to keep trying with digital. Long row to hoe!
What I love most with your shots is the visual economy. Such a thin line betweeen too much or not enough, and you hit it perfectly, on spot. Es

One day, I will reach your level. Your pictures possesses a mysteriously motivating aura. But for now, I just need to figure out how to use this stupid Photoshop.

Hi Craig,

Thank you for the opportunity to rediscover your galleries. Certainly, I'd been here before, but every time it's a completely different experience. Looking at your galleries and images it's hard to believe, that you've been practicing photography less than a year. You've got some incredible talent. Thanks for sharing!

Craig, thank you for your generous comments on my current galleries. You and Todd Thorpe have helped me to learn to look at Bakersfield with new eyes. Most of my Saturn shots are being taken while driving with one hand so the results are hit and miss.
Thanks again,

Hey Craig,
Stumbled upon this site and your work the other night. Fun site. Just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how impressed I am with your work. I gotta ask... What do you do for a living? I'm just finding it hard to believe that someone can pick up a camera in '05 and start kicking out work of that caliber. Really impressive! I spent 15+ years as an advertising photographer, so I've seen a LOT of work in my time. If you're just starting out, then I have to say you have one of the best natural eyes I've ever seen. Keep shooting... I'm enjoying it!

Brent Vermilyea 09-Mar-2006 02:31
Hi, Craig. I'm so glad to hear that one of your photographic influences is Stanley Kubrick. I love his central compositions, and many times I try to emulate his style. One of my favorite directors, Darren Aronofsky, who undoubtably was influenced by Kubrick, consistently places his subjects dead center. When I thought about that type of composition, it kind of makes sense. When you look at things in the world, you usually stare at them straight on, with background images and motions happening beside the main attraction. Anyway, I just watched A CLOCKWORK ORANGE yesterday and I had this theory in my mind. I'm glad I could flood your guestbook with it. Great shots, and I like your theory about simplicity and representing your subject's main form and function with the use of photography.
Richie Hatch 01-Mar-2006 14:15
Craig... your work is truely stunning... i love the minimalistic shots... stuff i like to try myself...! Conceptually and graphically beautiful...! Thanks for your comments in my galleries too...!

Thank you ! I never took the time necessary to decently browse all your pictures. On the other hand you took the time necessary to browse some of mine and took the time to leave your comments and I wish to THANK YOU. You have a great eye. Since you live in Montreal maybe sooner or later we will meet and maybe dicuss about this common passion. By the way I would like to wish you a happy new year too. Antonio

I just love your way of seeing, like the japanise tradition of simplicity and minimalism that is in the same time comlex (because it actualy holds much). Of course you in my fav. Cheers.

I just discovered your galleries and I must admit that I love your "conceptual minimalism". You really have a different point of view. It is inspiring.
Ray Rebortira 25-Nov-2005 19:06
Steve H tells me to look you up because your "stuff is just going from strength to strength at the moment". By George (not B) he is right. I am awed by your work. I shall be a frequent guest.

Hi, I'm a highschool Art student in Flordia, and I love your work, I'm playing around with photography and focusing on how culture influences art and the artist. If it wouldn't be too much trouble I would love to hear about your travels and what influences you so I could incorporate your work into my Art Book and learn more! My E-mail is HMSewall@yahoo.com, thank you, and again, you do fabulous work.
