And they walked though the streets as in a dream. They didn't see faces, only shadows.

One of the highlights of my day is seeing what you've done. This is really nice work. And, I feel like I know how you achieved it. Really well done.

@Mike: Mike, you are so very kind and generous with your words. Many, many thanks!

Nataly from Santa Monica, United States

Every day I check my A3 page I look for your posts because I know that they make me believe that there is great photography out there. That not everything is lost to a pure digital art and there is a true soul... Sometimes I ask myself, I have just begun to photograph and I often get very discouraged when thinking that" it all has been done, what can I do that is different". But then I see your photos and realize there is something unique and it gives me hope and encouragement.

@Nataly: Wow Nataly...I am speechless!
Your words and thoughts are very kind, and believe me, I think that all of us feels this way, that 'it's all been done', in one way or another. But then yes, it is a true statement, but I think everyone also has a very individual perspective which does make it 'new'. We all keep moving forward, capturing little snippets of our lives in the form of photographs, along the way... :)

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

Wow, brilliant processing here. I wonder how the scene looked to your eyes, but the result if so luminous and I fully approve!

@Damon Schreiber: Hi Damon, oddly enough, this is how it looked to me. The glare of the light and the way he seemed to climb into it. The only reason I shot it as it seemed rather ethereal to me. Just one of those moments I suppose. (thank you!!!).
