stormy sunset
the stormy sunset photo is strong stuff... esp the contrast of the grandness of the sky vrs the mtn... it speaks to the supremeness of the greater universe... again good work.

Amazing
Phil - I am amazed at what you see within a picture. You seem to look to the depth of the subject and wait for the best result.
— Whit Barthlomew, June 25, 2004

Wow!
Your photographs are outstanding. I will be visiting your site often as it inspires me to keep trying. Thank you

Congratulations!
Your photos are "magnifique". What a tough choice to make when you have to pick one for the photo of the week. Thanks for sharing your talent. Christine

The teacher is a great student
Phil, I'm thoroughly enthralled by your workshop photos. I would have loved to follow you around as your student during these photo shoots. These are awesome photos. I love the way you think and express yourself through your photos. Thanks for posting these for all of us to learn from and enjoy.

Sorry for the late ...
Hi Phil, your style is unmistakable! My favourites are: self-portrait, sunset portrait, picture story.

phil!

wonderful shots. the expression on the dog is priceless! looks like a very tender loving creature. your angles are spectacular - something to learn from. thank you for the continued inspiration! I am still trying to figure out my old 70's cannon that was given to me as a gift. It took me a really long time to figure out the battery needed replacing!

thank you once again - really nice work you always share.

Intelligent Artist,Engaging StoryTeller
Phil, you never cease to amaze me with your gift for story telling through your travel imagery. I think successful travel photography requires the photographer to have artistic talent, and equally important, a highly intelligent & sharp perception of the world around him/her - both of which you have in abounds. Because of this, you are always able to capture the essence of a place, person or event in a vivid and strikingly beautiful way. An intelligent travel photographer intrigues & inspires, which is what I feel everytime I visit a place through your eyes. Thank you for "taking" us to Santa Fe with you through your wonderful images and descriptive commentary.

Onward...
One of the things that I love about your images is the enthusiasm for life and photography that they convey. You do do a great job of capturing the spirit of the moment as well as capturing the moment. On to favorites... Photographic Critic because of the expression of the dog, Framed Angel because of the way that your angle makes the angel soar, Getting close to an Angel because your eye caught the image and because of the vivid green with the gray, Fun at the Fair because of the way the color of the hats match the "color" of his expression, and the Finale for the look on the childs face. thanks for what your photos teach and express....

Thanks for sharing Dad
As a longtime fan who rarely sees this photographer being photgraphed, my favorite was your self portrait w/the horse...it is so vivid to me, even though a shadow! I also loved the hats, and the closing photo w/the boy on dad's shoulders. Your photos are strong and beautiful, and always capturing such sentiment. I loved them. Your daughter, Emmy
— Emmy, September 22, 2003

Liked the way you broke the rules and came up with a wonderful image with Self Portrait: Photographer and Friend. You should never compose your photo to see the photographers shadow. In this case the photograph knows how to break the rules to make a neat photo.
— Tom Stillman, September 18, 2003

Phil,

I liked all the photos, I just have one complaint. I really enjoyed the "What Is It" photo. But then in the caption you told us what it is. I rather be left with the wondering.
— Tom Stillman, September 18, 2003

Wow! This was a fun way to see how you approach each experience, controlling the camera to capture the moment. I'm in awe. I attempt to do this but struggle with how to use the settings of the camera to my advantage. It takes mastery, and you've got it. maybe someday I will too. Inspiring.
— Linda, September 18, 2003

Nice images
Me like.
— Lex Xavier, September 18, 2003

Wonderful ....
Phillip, you were the cause for my inclination towards photography and now you make me crazy... with such simply amazing snaps! I think, Beauty lies in the eyes of the "Photographer" ! Cheers !

The Rainbow
Your pictures are absolutely stunning. The rainbow shot makes me think of a kind of snowglobe effect. My daughter made it clearer saying it looks like a bubble. These are wallpaper material. Keep up the good work. DM
— Dawn Marie, September 18, 2003

I like your thoughtful explanations you wrote as much as I loved the photos! I feel like if I followed the assignments you describe, I could almost have the benefit of taking the workshop too. I'm going to Sedona, AZ next week and may just try it! Thanks for the visual treats!
— stephanie saniga, September 17, 2003

Beautiful!
Those are amazing images. Beautiful color and subject content. The feeling you captured in the images is wonderful.
— Chris Neiman, September 17, 2003

Great article
I agree with you there is a need for these workshops. Unfortunately I have not seen any where I live. I have been using Digital Cameras for 3&1/2 years and found them great. I have had cameras since 14 and l love photography. I use the latest version of Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Picture It, I find these do all I want but I'm interested in the Photoshop program and will check it out. I found I have been doing more and trying different things with my Digital Cameras and I still have a lot to learn. Keep up the good work.
— Tim Lubcke, September 17, 2003

big achievement
Hi Phil, again, your pictures are capturing the world around you in such beautiful tones and contrasts. I will study them well before I leave on holiday

New Mexico Behemian Atmosphere
Hi Philip, you have beautifully captured images from your own "backyard', surroundings which many travelers tend to not pay attention to. I like your angle of observations in these picture compositions. Red-gold tones added specific character of New Mexico bohemian atmosphere. All together wonderful presentation...yes, we are digital camera "addicts'...and like to share our travel observations. It is a pleasure to view your work. Regards, Rafal
