"Photography is like music, books, and art; you will never live long enough to touch and enjoy all of it."
I have been bitten by the photo bug. Love taking photos of almost anything interesting. I also love to be creative and manipulate shots. I have always loved art and like to take things down the road and see where it leads me.
Love reviewing other peoples photos to appreciate their work and to be inspired. I do spend a lot of time looking and commenting. I really appreciate comments back. If I see that a contact seldom or never comments back, I drop them from my contact list. My time I would rather spend on a sharing community of contacts who receive and offer feedback.
Words of wisdom from other photographers, "You cannot take a badly taken photo and make it good", "It isn't the camera that takes a good picture, it is the person behind the camera" (so equipment is not the deciding factor. Simpler cameras can take fine photos). And from someone dear to my heart K.I.S.S............Keep It Simple Stupid.
Am looking forward to a learning and growing experience. I will also find joy in the fact that I can travel the world through the eyes of other photographers.
Thank you to all who share their art, their comments, and their knowledge.

"Over two years ago I met Crystal at a local photographic contest/fundraiser. We and a few others started a small private group on flickr to encourage each other to "grow" our experience and confidence. I am amazed at how far Crystal has advanced, always coming up with fresh ideas and perspectives. She has a true eye, and surely knows something good when she sees it. Not only does she have a talent for photography, she has a capacity to help others that seems endless. Your presence inspires me to keep at it. THANK YOU!"

"Crystal is the most amazing Flickr friend! She epitomizes what I believe a great contact should be. She is always one of the first people to comment on my pics and in my opinion gives more to her contacts than she herself receives in return. I value her comments and critique greatly and always get a lift when I see her icon in my comments. I also love how Crystal isn't afraid to experiment with colours, textures and subjects, and I for one look forward to seeing every new spectacular images she uploads."

"fotofunk1 holds a special place in my world..........known her my whole life :)
She is probably one of my biggest fans, but it is in watching her work that I find inspiration. She has a way of seeing things that normally I would not.
I look forward to her critiques and ideas, her words of encouragement and of course just hanging out doing some of our favorite things together (which happens to include photography).
If you ever wonder where a talent comes from, you just remember someone passed it on. Talent should be nurtured, encouraged and cherished, and loved...................and so should the person who passed it on ♥ :)"21st September, 2009

"Crystal is an awesome flickr friend and photographer. She always takes the time to look and give her opinion, which I have come to value tremendously. She has some pretty amazing work and her creativity is definitely an inspiration. She sees more than is visible to the eye ...not only in her own work but in the work of others as well.. She is a gift."
