    "it is more than images
    it is moments of time
    it times of life
    it is about light
    it is about what is seen

    most of all it is how it is all captured.

    one of the most wonderful photo streams to be found."

    "It should not have take me this long to write a testimonial about Cristal.

    Her photography is truly her outlet and expression and it show without question. Her sensuality, beauty and grace shine in almost every shot.

    She approaches each subject with care and thought. No image feels like she didn't mean to take it exactly the way she see it in here mind.

    Her self portraits especially are beautifully feminine and always true works of art.

    I wish her all the best in whatever direction life takes her."

    "Now and Zen I come to a stream attracted by an image I've seen in a group I've joined and I stayed to view 1283 images that touched me on so many levels, then I realised Aphrodite** is definately the Goddess of Love and Beauty...........I Love more here by what I see and feel viewing her world, reading her words and experiencing great beauty in all her creativity."

    "I noticed Cristal's work a few months ago and since then I've been following it regularly. What first caught my attention was the way Cristal used her video cam to create still images, giving her photos a unique personal fingerprint, but behind that tech characteristic another one immediately surfaced: a great talent to find and use natural light. Cristal's portraits and nature works have evolved since then, both technically and from an aesthetic perspective, and that natural talent became very visible and consistent in her photographic studies. Behind photography Cristal reveals herself as a very kind person with a positive personality, and I suppose that is something one should always be able to recognize and appreciate. To you, Cristal, my best wishes both for your personal life as for your creative work."

    "Aphroditee's work possesses a dreamy quality that is impossible to ignore and that immediately captivates the viewer. Whether it is landscapes faraway or closer to home or even her own self, Aphroditee manages to convey with great skill the beauty that surrounds her giving us a glimpse of an another world of elegance and grace."

    "Your images invariably warrant a second and even third look. They are always thought provoking and often convey a touch of humor as well. Keep the good work coming!"

    "I know I'm not alone when I confess to being a fan of Cristal and her photography. Whatever the subject of her eye, the results are quite compelling and to be appreciated and enjoyed by so many.

    And while very good at all things photographed, it's her Private Moments set that really stands out!

    Fascinating that when I look at this set, I'm taken back to a period that I wished I could have lived and that would be the 40's and early 50's.

    Cristal has added a modern flare on this most glamorous era!

    There is a graceful, elegant and classic beauty in her pictures and a movie star glamor/goddess aura in every shot.

    Whatever level you take this study too..I will be a most appreciative and a loyal fan!"

    "Cristal,

    You use light in amazing ways. The self portraits are like paintings made of light and shadow. It makes us feel the mood you are conveying almost like we are seeing it through your eyes. Your other photographs give us a view of how you see the world, and it is a beautiful sight.

    Thank You!!!!

    Joe"

    "Cristal...
    when I first saw your work, You had a very stylistic approve to your photos....it has ONLY improved! The care and the thoughtfulness that you put into your shot, and the post work is incredible! You never stay locked on one subject....(unlike others....) and come up with some incredible work. I eagerly get on line to of course post my pics, BUT, to see some incredible work by an incredible artist...you!
