Pursuing a dream. Flickr is a proving grounds where I can see my work progressing and I can gather inspiration to continue to shoot. I spent the last 11 years giving a back seat to my creative endeavors and grinding to make a living. Now I'm driving tword a goal with photography riding shotgun. Its gonna be me, e&b, and my ambition breaking the tape at the finish line. Thanks for all the support and views.This is a great community. I shoot for e&b photography with Chris Brodell and I use a nikon.

    "I really, really, love Christian's photostream. His pictures are so dynamic and lovely at the same time. His skateboarding shots never fail to please (no blurs here,) but he also has a great eye for portrait photography, especially kids. And, ctrain99 is also a very supportive flickr friend. :]
    Again. Love--this stream."

    "Christian's photography exhibits an obvious set of skills that take his work to the next level and beyond many others. Composition, lighting and his unique style of processing all tie his work together with a signature style. While many photographers find comfortable niches, Chris pushes himself into many genres of photography. From children's portraits to action skate photography and edible delights, he nails them all....plus, I think he wrote the book on building tychs.

    Ctrain, Thanks for the support and for providing inspiration to the many on Flickr that look up to your work.
    Cheers!"

    "What can I say about Christian...he's one of those lovely bunch of people that harbour a wealth of creative talent whilst remaining super down-to-earth, friendly and supportive. He's always pumping out new work, be it alpine-fresh lifestyle shots, cosy family portraits or visceral automotive eye-candy. His work just goes from strength to strength and who knows what sort of delectable visual treats await our eager eyes in the future! The C-train is right on track!"
