Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
--Bertrand Russell
Thanks for viewing my Pear Meteor photo. I'm glad that you liked it and took the time to comment. The star backgound makes a good wallpaper by itself but if I uploaded it all you would see would be a black thumbnail. I may upload it at a later time. I got the idea from pixelpusher's Stoned Apples image.

"Simply look with perceptive eyes at the world about you, and trust to your own reactions and convictions. Ask yourself: "Does this subject move me to feel, think and dream? Can I visualize a print - my own personal statement of what I feel and want to convey - from the subject before me?"
Ansel Adams
Hi Dusa, it would be fun to put it under "people" and infact had it there for a day. It was funny but just didn't seem the right place, your right about the manipulation gallery, there it shall rest. And can I make you look like that? I don't know. It's hard to get just the right angle of a head and ear, and the right lighting and what not. I took over 50 pictures to get this one, one that I could use. So if you have a photo of yourself with good lighting and a good head /ear shot I'll see what I can do. I do this stuff just for fun so I don't mind taking a look. My email is posted on my profile. Thanx for stopping by. LPF
Hi dusa, and thank you for your comment on "Woodland carpet" - I'm glad you found it a peaceful image. Not long now and this year's flowers will be opening.... :-)
Thanks for your coments on ballycastle. yes I too am surprised that I havn't had more coments, even to tell me i'm kidding myself lol. Once again thanks for your kind coments.
Thank you dusa1947 for viewing and commenting on my Otter Creek 2 photo. I appreciate your support of this image. The color slide looks much better than this scanned image.

Wow Thanks! I saw the comment you left me about Mon Reve, and I want you to know that I very much appreciate it. I just put a facelift on the website transforming it from my personal sandbox to a professional website devoted to my photography, and yours is one of the very first comments I've received about it. I'm glad you liked it.
Hello Dusa and thanks for the comments on "The Wanderer". To make this image I used a Canon F-1 set at f32 for approximately 3 seconds using Fuji Velvia film.
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.

Hello. I'm very sorry for taking so long to respond to your comments on "The Wanderer". I was gone for quite a spell back then and until someone else left a comment today I didn't catch yours.
I was using a Canon F-1 35m camera with a 80mm - 200mm Tokina zoom lens, stepped down to f32, which made for an exposure of about 30 seconds. I was using Fuji Velvia slide film.
Thanks for your comments I really appreciate them.
Thanks, Dusa, for your comments on "Gulf of Mexico". I have family in the Venice area of Florida, so I visit pretty regularly. The Gulf waters are a far cry from New England!
Haha! Thanks for the comment on Boonies. Very good question about global warming. That thought didn't even cross my mind. I'm not too sure what that "house" on stilts really is. I'll find out and let you know though.
Hi Dusa, many thanks for your comment on "An Apple Blossom Birth"!! I too, thought it was soft and sweet and I hope you revisit my gallery! I would enjoy that! Sincerely, Marilyn
Hi Dusa. I´m very late with my thanks to you for the compliments on The Wild Cat Of Scandinavia. I had the same soft Scandinavian smile as the lynx when i read your comment !
I´m glad you liked this big kitty and I´m pleased to have this photo in my gallery. Thanks alot and welcome back ! -- Arne --
Hi here mystery person,
Please forgive my late reply to your comment about my, Grand Canyon in Fog and Snow. Annie and I just returned from a 15 day ( which was supposed to last only ten days) photo trip. It was so beautiful that we just couldn't leave. How about taking a vacation and joining both of us where the temperature every morning was, 0 C and warmed to 20 C by mid afternoon. It is a hard life but someone has to do it. <smile>. I think that the feeling of Oriental art comes from the Juniper tree that I used to frame the secene. It is like the small Bonsi trees that are an art unto itself.

Photography is not a trade - it is an art. It is more that an art.

If my comment on your work ever seems to criticise, it does not. It is always so that we may learn together.

Hi Dusa
Thanks for you nice comment on "luxembourg".
glad you find it divine...guess no one ever said that about my works.
So much appreciated for that.
Hello Dusa, "last of the season" was shot in october last year. The vegetable garden was long gone, but it was a mild enough fall to see one more bit of color before the snows came. I'm glad you enjoyed this shot, thanks for commenting.
Thanks for the comments on "gulf of Mexico - 2". Beaches have a way of restoring themselves after a storm, may take a while and it may move a few miles down the coast, but eventually... Glad you enjoyed the image and it pulled up memories for you.
Hi there...thank you so much for your great comment on Beyond the Blues...I am very pleased you liked it that well...for such a minimalistic image I am surprised it has been so well received...thank you for being a part of that.:Pat.
Hi, Dusa! I'm glad that you like my "On my way to home". And thanks for the kind words. I'm not professional photographer and don't have professional camera but I love taking photoes. And I'm very happy that you see this what I see in them. Thanks again! All the best!
I'm so glad you had fun with my "Desktoped." It was a lot of fun for me too! Its funny because the original piece I created looked hardly like it - with no decernable patterns such as these.
I'm glad that you took the time to view and comment on my Mountain Stream Beauty image. Thank you for the nice comments. I appreciate your support. I would have gone farther up stream but the large rock out cropping on the left stopped me.
Russ
Thanks for your wonderful comment on Dive Into The Unknown.... i'm glad you enjoyed it.. hmmmm a novel and film.... might have to change my name to Speilberg... LOL.... I plan on doing more soon...
Thanks a lot for your feedback on my 'Summit in sight'. Since the "new voting system", some images were forgotten... But you've to use the 'voting booth': it concerns new AND old pictures :-)
Thank you for your thoughtful comment on "Fall in the Gutter" -- The comparison to Japanese art was a good one, and actually makes a lot of sense now that I think about it. Thanks again.
Mystery Person.
I don't know if you got the right image or wrong person. I am Fotobob not Lauren or is it the wrong image? Rising Fog in Conejos Canyon Either way thanks for dropping by.
