William/Galt0719's photostream
|
I have found that for all intents and purposes, that as a photographer, that I am one who works in shadows, who discomfits, and whose work in inherently melancholy.
The work for me, is deeply personal and by its nature, at times very intense and polarizing to others. The photographs you see here are a remnant of what has passed through this stream since 2008, a remnant that I feel is representative of my output to the point where I put in on hold in July of 2011. The future is uncertain, but the storm still rages.

The FP Photography says:
"William, you have made me feel so confident in my work. I only started 4 days ago (July 20th of 2011), but your positive feedback and helpful hints have made me feel like I can have a future in photography. You told me I have the talent and the eye and certainly have both (: Your work is stunning and I love how you can take something simple and turn it into something truly inspiring. Your use of black and white is the best I've seen thus far. You are a great person who is always supportive and I thank you for everything."

Sabina Tabakovic says:
"His way of expressing him-self thru his photography had a great effect on me because then I realized that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. His way to create a story with photos and also words to his art is a dream to dream. A dream that feels more real to me than the reality. I recently discovered his work, and I look forward to see him grow as an artist he already is! Besides being a great photographer, he is a very kind person, and has showed me great support to my work and feedback with an open heart ! peace/Sabina"

"I can't even describe the effect William's photographs have to them. I feel like I am seeing something from a completely different world even though it might be something I see everyday. His pictures are not in the least cliche, and he has his own complete style (that I am honestly very jealous of). Not to mention, he is a magnificent writer as well. In conclusion, his work as a whole is so inspiring and incredible. Keep doing what you do. :)"

"Oh William I wish I had the right words to say. I'm not much of a writer so usually I have a difficult time trying to write out things but you sir have no problem there. Your writing is beautiful. And your photography is just breathtaking. It is soo amazing! You are also an amazing contact I am sooo grateful to have you as my contact. When ever I get a comment from you I am always sooo happy because an amazing photographer is commenting on my photographs. You have such an amazing eye for things to photograph. I love the emotion your pictures give off. Your stream is one of my favorites it inspires me so much. Well that is all for now.

Patnoy says:
"I have been thinking about what I want to say about William's work for some time and I can't adequately describe how I feel about it in words. His stream has been quite inspiring for me - for I truly believe that he is a master of landscapes, both rural and urban. There is an overwhelming sense of poetry in his photographs and the range of emotions he is able to evoke in each captured instance is quite remarkable. Then there is the matter of the photographs themselves and their brilliant tonal ranges and simple beauty. I love the dark contrast he is able to achieve and he always seems to be moving towards a new aesthetic in photography. I'm just very much inspired by his work. One of my favorite streams on flickr!"

"William´s photostream is one of the most unique n with a defined style, and more than a style is a brand, a label that he left impregnated in each of his works , which conveys feelings and emotions.
he can express perfectly with his photos, but he have a gift... his words.
im honored to consider him
a poet...
an artist...
a friend...
a beautiful soul...
i simply admire you for what you are... your way to be, think n see the world.
you know i dont like to write..even less in english..
but i think you deserve this n so much more.
positive energy to ya W."14th January, 2011

"William,
I wish I had your eloquence so I could write you a testimonial like you deserve but alas I dont so it'll have to come out like this.
I have been truly blessed to have you as a contact and friend.
Your photographs are the kind that are left to interpretation, but I know there is always a deep feeling or important thought behind them.
You dont just take photos to take photos, they have to mean something to you.
You have an eye for the unique and I like that. The use of colour and light and tones is always in working with the concept and the end result always surprises - like a peek inside yourself.
Thankyou for being you."29th September, 2010

"
William's photo stream transmits emotions in creative ways. His precious soul knows how to capture beauty and the essence of life in his own personal, magical way - photos and words. William's photography can be dark, sinister, foreboding and then often unexpectedly......bright and happy.
His rich spirit full of creativity and his true heart speak elegantly in each and every capture….
William is like a butterfly that dances in the wind on an enchanted melody. I love his whimsical and most charming photo stream , his composition and captures of light .
His emotions shine right through his photography in the most beautiful and stunning ways possible.
And often when you finally think you have figured William out, he will blast you away with something completely new and amazing.
So... watch and be enthralled.
William, your pictures are so precious and I am graceful to have met you here and have the privilege to enjoy your Art .
I like very much your work and observations . I am always excited what will come next of your excellent pictures . You are a photographer with a poets soul...
William, keep going on with your style, make us curious and happy, let us experience the world in a new and poetic way!
Thank you for all your wonderful photos .
Warm greetings from Belgium, Heni."18th September, 2010

"I could have swore I wrote you a testimonial before now!
William's stream is one of my absolute favorites! His pictures are stunning and emotional. They draw you in and make you feel as if you are there and everything else around you just disappears for a moment.
I look forward to seeing much more from you William! Keep doing what you are doing!

Sheltered Willow says:
"William's stream is filled with beautiful photographs of nature, all captured with his own unique perspective. His use of tones enhances the beautiful simplicity of an already ethereal view of the world, and his titles and descriptions leave you speechless and moved.
His comments and uplifting words on my own photos never cease to brighten my day and put a smile upon my face. Thank you, William!"19th January, 2010

"William has a great talent for expressing human emotions through pictures of nature. Especially, he knows how to paint blue feelings with his images. I love the way he uses light and darkness, and the dramatic effects he creates with sky and water."

"Ever since I first started following William's work, there has always been a true "magic" about his pictures. They're all simple, yet beautiful and powerful with absolutely amazing titles and descriptions. His pictures always tell us a story, they're breathtaking art. I adore the beauty of simplicity of his work so much."
