Calmtwood's photostream |
Rampant Dutchman. Sports journalist by profession, but a sucker for photography. Trying my way in Long Exposures, but always enjoy B/W portraits, good DoF and bokeh.
Other things that make me click? My beautiful wife, 27' iMac, proper coffee, my Alfa Romeo 159, following cricket via internet or BBC's Radio 4 LongWave while driving (walhalla!), high heels, hockey, a good hustle with Photoshop, my work, Belgian beer, skiing, friendship, an unexpected smile, honesty, a good joke, the smell of coffee beans, fuel, fresh bread, and ironed clothes, and pointing that DSLR on everything and anything that moves.
Always enjoy good company and contacts, so don't hesitate to comment or send a Flickr-mail :)
I dare to say I am a loyal contact and generally always leave a comment - IF there is some sort of interaction with you. As in: returning a favor :)

Dene' Miles says:
"It was a great day when i came upon Jesse's images here on Flickr. He has such a talent for capturing amazing moments. He captures those fine details that a lot of people don't see. He is such a source of inspiration for me and always offering such kind words of encouragement. Thank you Jesse for making Flickr such a great place to be :)"

"De foto's van Jesse zijn van hoge kwaliteit, zowel portretten in kleur als zwart/wit (die ik overigens altijd erg sterk vindt) maar ook fenomenale landschappen passeren de revue. Jesse heeft inmiddels een hele eigen consistentie stijl weten te creëren waar ik graag meer van wil zien!
Keep up the good work!

"Jesse's foto's zijn altijd de moeite waard om eens even goed te bekijken! Zwart Wit of kleur, Jesse bewerkt ze met zijn eigen stijl. Jesse is altijd erg enthousiast en dat zie je terug in zijn foto's. Met zorg en zorgvuldigheid gemaakt. Ik hoop nog veel van je te mogen zien in de toekomst Jesse!"

"Jesse's foto's zijn positief en energiek vol levensvreugde en spontaniteit. Je vindt heel veel variatie in zijn foto's maar zijn grootste passie is portret fotografie. Die passie zie je terug in zijn foto's ...zoveel creativiteit, spontaniteit en vrolijkheid heb ik zelden in foto's gezien. Als ik portret foto's van mezelf zou willen hebben weet ik zeker dat ik Jesse zou vragen.
Jesse is een onwijs aardig contact op Flickr, altijd positief en enthousiast in zijn comments...en ik ben dan ook erg blij hem op mijn Flickr pad ontmoet te hebben.
Ik hoop dan ook dat ik nog heel lang van je foto's kan genieten Jesse en super bedankt voor je vriendschap! :)"20th May, 2010

Ernie Fischhofer (off & on w/ hockey season!) says:
"Jesse is a straight-up honest guy who, when not driving around with videographers in the trunk of his car, is talented at pointing his camera towards the subjects he cherishes. He has a distinct eye for fantastic lighting and has a knack for being able to bring out & capture peoples true personalities (which speaks volumes about HIS personality).
Jesse's been a loyal & enjoyable friend who exudes enthusiasm in both his own images and in his comments to others ... many a time his comments have motivated me to get off my butt & shoot some new images :)
He's an energetic buddy who enjoys beer, coffee, hockey and is gifted at making new friends (probably because of his love of beer, coffee & hockey !!? ;).
Jesse, I'm glad you looked me up; I truly enjoy your humor, energy & friendship ... I know we'd have a blast if we raised a glass together; in the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy your images & visits :)
Cheers !!!"19th May, 2010

"Jesse is one of my favorite photographers on Flickr. He is a wonderfully generous and helpful person and a brilliant photographer. I am so lucky to have come across his photos, as I not only get to relish in his images but I've also gained a wonderful friend. Thank you for all your help and for taking the time to view and comment on my photos; I appreciate that! :-)
Jesse has an amazing gift for creating beautiful photos and I especially love his portraits. He has the rare ability to capture his subject's emotions and make us, the viewers, really feel something too (which is an incredibly difficult thing to do). I look forward to each new image he posts, as I know I'm in for a treat!!
Best wishes in everything you do my friend!
Smiles,
Michele :-)"19th May, 2010

"Jesse,
Een fotograaf met levenslust! Een diversiteit aan onderwerpen passeren hier op flickr.
Een mooie combinatie tussen sterke portretten, landschappen, details en nog veel meer...
De creativiteit springt er goed uit, het oog van een fotograaf zie je terug in de foto's. Je hebt zeker een eigen stijl!
De bewerking is goed, dan weer zwart/wit of prachtig in kleur. Ook de stijlen in kleurenfoto's worden goed gebruikt.
Dan ook nog eens een familie om je heen hebben met zulke mooie modellen..... prachtig om die meiden en vrouwen steeds zo mooi vastgelegd te zien!

"Hey,
Je hebt een leuke stijl van fotograferen en je portretten zijn meestal erg sterk. Misschien mag ik eens een van je vaste modellen lenen ;)
Ga zo door.

"Met veel plezier surf ik elke avond even naar Flickr om te kijken of mijn zoon een nieuwe foto op het net heeft gezet. Ik ben heel erg trots omdat ik een stukje van mijn eigen creativiteit in hem terug zie.
De manier waarop je naar dingen kijkt, is bijzonder. En dat laat zich vaak vertalen in een hele mooie foto waar ik met ontzettend veel plezier naar kan kijken."29th January, 2010
