Sellinstix's photostream
|
We are large, we contain multitudes--Walt Whitman.
I grew up in West Texas--then migrated to Denver. After living there 25 years, I decided NM was the place for me. I've been in ABQ for almost 10 years now, and it occurs to me, that they don't call this the land of enchantment for nothing!
I've been on Flickr for almost 5 years now, and I can easily say, that it's been one of the most fulfilling chapters of my life. Thank you all, my Flickr Friends!

DayTripper (Tom) says:
"I've known Don for a couple of years now, through the local Flickr group, and I have to say that I am constantly inspired by his photostream. He has a great eye for capturing the wonder in everything he sees, especially New Mexico scenes. His comments on my photos are always encouraging. On top of all that, he's a heck of a nice guy! I hope we can continue to be friends and fellow photographers both here on Flickr and in Albuquerque, our hometown. Rock on, Don!!!"

"Don is a wonderful photographer - capturing the essence of the 'land of enchantment' that I so love. He was a wonderful host when my hubby and I traveled back to Abq in April...showing us the points of interest within, and just outside, of his beautiful city. Don is also an encouraging force in my dream to become a photographer in my next life! His comments build confidence and make one proud. He's one special man!"

"25 months ago Don became one of my contacts. I love his photos. The adobe houses and and colours attracted me very much. Also the objects he takes photos of interested me very much.
The way he describes his photos , always have something poetic . There is always a nice story in his images.
I appreciate the way he always comments on everyones comments.
He lives far away from my country, but it looks as if he is so close.
Don is a sensitive man with a great sense of humour . He is a very faithful friend . I hope to have him as a friend for a very long time.
Thank you , Don, for your beautiful photos."1st July, 2009

"" ... How do es define to Don?Okay, have an incredible talent ( what to power of synthesis that I have!). You create images with a perfect esthetics, with great creativity and one very good technique. He fascinates me how he sees the things from a different angle, with a very particular look ... Their photos can stand out easily!!Besides you always have time to proceed to see his friends's photos and to comment them...."

""We are large, we contain multitudes" (W. Whitman). This is a quote Don chose in his profile. And it depicts so well the way he sees the world around him. Pictures of so many aspects (small and large) of his beautiful, colourful, moody NM. Pictures seen with his heart too. Like his warm and sincere comments when he comes visiting your photos. I love the way Don looks around him and shares his vision with us. Thank you Don for your wonderful pictures. Always a pleasure to spent a moment in NM with you :)"

Nicolas Mertens says:
"Here's the thing about sellinstix (a.k.a. Don):
1. He says in lives in Texas... but he shoots New Mexico like no one. Contrary to what Richard Bradford might have said, his photos are as close to heaven as he is to Texas.
2. In that sense, his work is soft, it is gentle, and it invites the viewer to pause a little, relax, and enjoy a moment of peace.
3. He also likes to look at other people's work, and when he says something about it, it's never a knee-jerk formula, but always a nice thought that comes from his heart rather than from his brains...!
Thanks, Don! You always make me happy!"16th November, 2007

"Let me fill you in on a little secret about my friend Don. He has the kindest personality. A quiet yet humorous man that takes some of the loveliest shots of New Mexico..I like his inviting and welcoming entrance shots of homes, the doors, the flowers, you can almost smell the coffee brewing..so come visit Don and walk down his path of this pictorial journey of the Southwest."
