Everything is light and intelligent space - luminous presence. I love playing artistically within this light and space. Each medium I play with and within overlaps and melds with the others - visual art is also dance and music and poetry, and so on.
I love mountains, water, forests, and snow, and hope to move farther north and/or higher in elevation in the near future. As for now, it is very beautiful here in Redding, and I treasure living in a place surrounded by mountains on three sides and with a beautiful, strong, wide river running right through town.
I am so grateful for all the inspiration I receive from my Flickr friends. Here is a big thank you to you all!

danamight says:
"I found the photography of Layne/Applecrisp while searching for visual reference on Portola, CA - a small town in the Sierra Nevada. Immediately I was drawn into her excellent images from all over the golden state. Places I have seen & even more places that I have yet to see. She allows me to feature several of her shots on my web site Total Escape - totalescape.com.
Finally I had the pleasure of meeting Layne with her husband on Christmas 2008, when I made a holiday vacation through Redding. They showed me the sundial bridge & it was the most memorable, sunny afternoon of my entire road trip. Great to make friends w/ Flickr!"24th February, 2009

The Blackbird says:
"Apple Crisp has been a constant source of inspiration to my growth as a photographer. Living in a big Canadian city, I find my eye is drawn to all things urban, sometimes at the expense of neglecting the natural world. After viewing some of her shots I will feel like I can't do anything else until I take a walk through the woods or along the shore and I am always refreshed after I do.
If I were to think of three words or phrases that describe AC as I have gotten to know her through Flickr, I would say she is down to earth, a remarkable artist/artisan (photography/guitar making) and has a gentle sense of humour. I am grateful to have found her here.
Thanks for everything, Layne."20th November, 2008

"I wish Apple Crisp was my mom. Not just because she lives in Northern California, and not because my real mom and I aren't tight, but if I had to spin again, I'd definitely pick this lady. Layne is a fun photographer and a valuable asset to Flickr. Thanks for extenuating my Flickr-itis!"

" A great eye. her interest in light and color always has me coming back to see more. her photo work is strong in spacial depth and content. and i always get nostalgic looking at her pictures of Mt Shasta and Tahoe. ( i feel like im back there) A great photographer who seems to always have her camera in hand at the right times, and is always interested in sharing her life through pics with others."
