Chad Plohal's photostream |
I picked up a camera a few years ago, clueless of what I was doing, firing away at things that were interesting to me. Nobody in my family or friends is really into art or photography, so I joined flickr. The support I received on here pushed me through that phase and really pulled me into photography. I just want to thank you all for that. The people on here are really quite brilliant and inspirational. What I hope to do with my photography is relate thoughts of mine into photographs, share with you things that are beautiful through my eyes, and hopefully put a good bit of humor in my art to make us both smile and have a laugh. I hope you enjoy my stream, thanks for stopping by!

"hmm, lets see
Chad is less clueless about photography than I am and that pretty much makes him a superhero my eyes (seriously, he flies!).
His humor shows through his work and that is always so vitally important in photography. Right?
I do love that he sometimes stops to tell us mortals how his magic is worked (bows to the master). Though it seems unfair that he has his own symmetrically perfect face to work from and leaves the rest of us in the dust. Luckily he's one of the nicest guys to roam Flickr so we love him anyways :)
So keep up the fantastic work buddy and keep posting tutorials so we can continue to surmise where the heck your accent is from

"Chad has a really fantastic eye for portrait photography - he has taken some beautiful pictures of his "missus" (insert name here) and stunning pictures (like this one: www.flickr.com/ph... which sucessfully make use of natural lighting. His pictures always have lovely colour and tone to them, and, like this picture ( www.flickr.com/ph... ) Chad always uses a unique perspective or some kind of quirky outlook that makes his photos original ! Fantastic pictures Chad - your work is cool to look at!!! Keep it up!!"

"Hm, so I randomly felt like writing a testimonial about chad
because lately, his stream has been putting a smile on my face. The instant I added him as a contact, I read his profile before viewing his stream. In his profile, he says "What I hope to do with my photography is relate thoughts of mine into photographs, share with you things that are beautiful through my eyes, and hopefully put a good bit of humor in my art to make us both smile and have a laugh." wow, he has totally done that. he has captured beauty and life quite excellently. His descriptions and photos are humorous and funny. they make me laugh and smile. They cheer me up. :) Chad, you are awesome! Continue the good work! :D I am in love with your stream. I want to marry it. haha."11th December, 2009
