Hej Clayton, I read your comment on protecting your work and I very much agree with your view. Of course I also became curious to see your work. Looking for instance at your shoots at Grand Canyon I can see why people have asked the permission to use your pictures. Nice shoots. Mats

For some reason, your pictures really cheered me up.

Fabulous site.

Wonderful collection of photos! I love Bill's collection too. Please tell him travel is rather easy but time travel is impossible; but his pictures make a good job taking us all back fifty years when it was more peaceful.

Thanks Clay, for stopping by my Vietnam-Mekong Delta gallery. It was such a great experience being right there, and what's good without a camera.

Regards,
Kevin

Thanks Clayton for the message on my panorama gallery. You have some great shots too. I guess it might be a good guess that you live in the Phoenix area, that makes us neighbors.

Thanks again!

Thank you Clayton for visiting my on-line photo galleries, and for taking the time to leave such expressive comments. I enjoyed browsing through your albums. A wonderful set of images, well captured.
Cheers.

Since I'm a lover of lightning, I thought that i might be in your guestbook. Your lightning shots are amazing and realy fascinate me more and more. Sadly in Kosova, where I live, we don't get that much of lightning effects from mother nature. that's why my lightning galery is small. It's interesting how in the past i was affraid of thunderstorms but now with my DRebel i'm more attracted to the movements and shapes it can create for a blink of an eye. Good job and continue shooting it...

Thank You for sharing your interesting slides from 1967 Afganistan. More people should post old pics. Many times they're more interesting than new ones. Please tell me what you did there... work as a Doctor I presume.

Hi Clayton, Your photographs are beautiful, but I was a bit disturbed seeing your stunned birds. As a conservation educator, I feel compelled to inform you that 963 million birds die each year from window kills and 6 million birds a day fall prey to cats. Those are alarming statistics. You can help our diminishing bird populations by simply stringing up cd's, feathers, shells,etc. on stings on your windows to break up the reflections. Window decals work great too. Cats that are not allowed outside greatly reduce bird kills. How many nuptial gifts ( dead animals left on your doorstep) do you get fom your cat? Just something to consider for the future of our birds.
Thanks

Happy holidays Clayton. God bless you!
Gregory Hoenig 03-Nov-2004 18:38
Fantastic. Much better. I might even take a little more off the top and bottom, but that's a matter of personal preference.

Also, don't be afraid to use unusual shapes. The 2:3 aspect ratio is not law. (This advice should be taken w/ a grain of salt, though. Sometimes I get high praise for doing that, sometimes I get reamed. The life guys love it, the sports guys hate it, and the news guys just recrop my pictures anyway.)

Hope I don't come across as being to critical. I don't pretend to be a better photographer than you or anyone else. The advice I give is simply what I would do, maybe it's not the right thing for you to do.

Keep shooting, you've got a good eye.

Wonderful work here Clayton. Thanks for dropping by my galleries and your comment.

I came across your pictures of Afghanistan quite by accident. What alot of memories. I lived there from 1961-1965 and moved into the new school (AISK) just before going home to Wyoming. My father was an avid photographer and we must have hundreds and hundreds of his slides of Kabul and environs. It would be nice to share them on the Web, but I don't know how. Anyway thanks, I felt like I was stepping right back into Kabul as a teenager.

Hi, from a neighbor in the "Land of Enchantment". I hope you will make it one day here. Beautiful scenery as well. What a wonderful talent you have! I enjoyed surfing through the pics greatly. Have a wonderful Valentines day. If you like, check out one of my humble pages... http://www.geocities.com/cstockrt66/Misc_Desertsurvival.html

Hi Clayton,

Julie and John here. Great look site. Love the photos. Thanks for keeping in touch. Warmer weather in Arizona is tempting...it's ugly here.
Garrie Rouse 28-Dec-2003 23:04
Clayton,

Thank you for your kind comment on my "flora Virginica" gallery. I, too, have enjoyed looking through your many photographs. Its quite obvious that you have a great love for the outdoors and a keen eye and appretiation for the beauty in nature.

Seen your post in the pbase forum and it was an interesting read. Followed the link here. Very respectable galleries here. I did enjoy the lightning strikesvery much. I do not have a view to shoot from here...maybe someday. Very good, jobs well done.
Larry Sogolow 02-Aug-2003 16:43
Hello Clayton:

I thoroughly enjoyed your galleries, especially of California, Alaska, Afghanistan and the space shots (very educational as well). Thanks also for your comments on my California gallery.
Vanessa 16-Jul-2003 07:12
Hi! Do you sell prints of your photos? I am interested in purchasing a print of one of your pictures (Humphrey's peak (AZ) with wildflowers). Thanks so much!

Clayton,

I loved the picture of Afghanistan. I am here Kabul now and it is sad to see what a beautiful place Kabul was and to see it now. If you would like to see some of my photos please e-mail me.

Thanks,

Doug

Really nice - the "Sleeping Seal" shot is my favorite - but not to be unfair to other great shots in your galleries. I recently returned from Arizona, and covered much of the same area you did - so that is of great interest to me.

Your Nasa collection is really nice as well.

Best
Rob (Toad on dpreview Retouching and Willdabeest in Pbase)
Charlie MClure 22-Mar-2003 20:13
Fantastic pictures! Brings back lots of memories from being on the road. Gives me an idea for what I might do with some of the ones I took in various locations around the country. Miss you guys and hope that we will be able to get together before too long!
Love, Chas

Just browsing the web and was pleased to see that the Esterson talent exists on the other side of the Atlantic as well!

Excellent collection of great photos, Clayton! I can only hope to have one half as nice someday.

Hi, your galleries are great! You've really got the eye for photography! I love your travel-pictures! *thumbsup*

Clayton-
I never took the time to thank you for the compliment on my butterfy galleries, so I thought I would return the favor. You really have some beautiful images here - the flowers are nice, but I really love some of the landscape shots. Keep up the good work !

beautiful captures- thanks for leaving a message in my 'moth eaten' album so I could find my way here to enjoy your own photos. I'll be back to view the rest soon, nice work!
Jesse Hernandez 12-Jun-2002 02:59
Very nice pictures, Clayton. I especially liked the Alaska and California pictures. The Afghanistan pics are interesting (and I do mean that in a flattering way) and scary. You do great work with your camera and you have a good eye. Thanks for stopping by my site and commenting so nicely. It was very nice to meet you.
Regards and happy shooting,
Jesse

I am really delighted to receive a vote for my gallery from such a good photographer like you. I will give the best to expand my uploads. Thank you very much, Erik
Reid Killen 26-Jan-2002 21:13
Clayton, nice photos. I am inspired to purchase a digital camera and add to the collection. We drove the desert backroads from Laughlin, Nevada to Twentynine Palms and some stark, but beautiful sites. One being a volcano cone about 250' high last active 500 years ago. Keep the good work!
