“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
- Albert Einstein

Let's consider what Monet says about his work. Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love - Claude Monet.
"Art is the perpetual motion of illusion. The highest purpose of art is to inspire. What else can you do? What else can you do for any one but inspire them?" - Bob Dylan
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.
Mark Twain

I feel the vibration from every image of yours I look at..Love your images and what you portray..."

"Ken has been a loyal friend of mine here at Flickr for quite a while now, and is the perfect contact...he always takes the time to visit my stream and offer encouraging comments....... these comments mean so much more coming from such an accomplished photographer as Ken!! His work is simply stunning, ranging from the delightful to the jaw-dropping! I adore his photostream and have learnt a lot just by enjoying his daily uploads..... every one screams 'quality' at the viewer!!
Keep up the great work my friend!! :-)

STEHOUWER AND RECIO-time for a change says:
"k.barker has a beautiful stream of pictures and it's so good to see that this man has started photography rather recently, and then already with such great results!
His shots are creative and beautiful and I'm happy to call him a contact!
Thanks my friend, you're cool!"3rd April, 2010

Kenquestphoto ~ Away for a long while : ( says:
"Wow, I can say so much about this man, but I think I will controll myself ! I have really enjoyed Kenneth's artistic flair and witty sense of humor. I think he's a very talented photographer! I'm glad he lives so far away from me cuz I would be out of a job if he lived here! Really though if you haven't visited his photostream, you need to! My favorites are his "Celebrity Birds of Prey",great stuff!!!Keep up the good work Ken! Your friend, John "Q""

"k.barker only took up photography a matter of months ago (as at 24/5/09,) and is producing some fantastic reults, especiialy when you consider he's working with a compact camera (panasonic tz5).
This is probably (moslty) down to his artisitic nature. Who knows what levels he''ll reach when he takes the leap and buys an SLR!
