"I have not written this before because I always thought you were way too big for me to add anything.
You are definitely big. I think I once said that it is almost as if you do not belong to Flicker, but instead to museums and art galleries, but I’m grateful that you are because I can see what you do.
My favourite photos, without a hint of doubt."25th August, 2011

daruma* says:
"There are certain photographers whose work leaves me in awe. They aren't role models because I know that they're of a standard to which I cannot aspire. But I can sit back and enjoy their work and delight in their journey of discovery. You're one of these, Chris, and so thank you for the pleasure."

"Chris has become a favorite photographer of mine over recent months. He has an ability to see the world around us in a surreal and unique way and we are blessed that he has the ability to capture what he sees with his camera. His use of monochrome images depicting a world of tones, humour and changing depth is something I really admire and aspire to. I love his use of tilt and shift lenses to create points of focus. I love his ability to capture the 'decisive moment'. I love the fact he has opened to me a whole new world of photographic possibilities. This photographer is one to watch."

"Flickr should write a script to automatically fave his pics as soon as he uploads them. Just try to imagine the amount of time that could be saved this way!

"Chris is so talented in seting up the composition and measuring the light. His B&W's are excellent in terms of contrast. You can find evry tone of the black and whites in his photos. The way he measures the light and utilize it is just perfect. I do adore him. You must have a look at his stream and then you'll be be addicted to his stream."

Chris (archi3d) says:
"Chris is definitely an Artist with a big "A".
Each picture is a magnificent vision of a part of our Planet.
I don't understand how he knows to capture such perspective and pictorial benefits in places you couldn't expect with.
A very accurate sense in lighting, composition and dramatic atmosphere, but in every picture, a simple and great beauty.
A Master Painter."8th October, 2008

Dirk Delbaere says:
"chrisfriel's photostream is a a constant source of inspiration to me. I found his artwork a few days ago and I often return to enjoy.You will find great black and white photos, very calm,a clear style. There is always a great mood. His photos are real masterpieces, I can look at them for hours. The next step should be a book.
Greetings

Jaime Frias Gutiérrez says:
"Chris, el poder observar tus trabajos queda en mi una sensación de profunda admiración, no solo por el hecho de poder decir lo hermosas que estas son, sino la inmensidad de lecturas que se le pueden dar. Cada una de tus fotos reflejan ideas conceptuarles de una sólida composición, me refiero a la capacidad nata que tienes de capturar la trascendencia de lo común y lo poco cuidadosos que somos muchas veces con los pequeños detalles, estos que nos hacen ver una imagen no solo como lo que son, sino que para detenerse a preguntar muchas veces el porque de nuestros actos, pensamientos y quizás el porque de nuestra existencia.
Como dicen por hay, las mejores fotos son las que se toman sin cámara… es por esto que imagino cada uno de los lugares y situaciones en los cuales te has dispuesto a comenzar un nuevo trabajo, imaginando todas las cosas que pasan por tu mente en aquellos momentos. Eso es una de las cosas más destacables de tus obras, el poder hacernos imaginar como espectadores tu forma de ver la vida.
Estas son nada más que las palabras sinceras de un chico de 17 años de Valdivia, Chile que admira tus trabajos.
Saludos afectuosamente desde Valdivia, Chile
Jaime Frías Gutiérrez."19th August, 2008

Luis Montemayor says:
"Your work is just amazing, love the world you capture with your camera, it seems like you have pause the world and show us the beauty of it. Everything is also very dreamy (dreamlike), like if the world was empty with no soul in only for your subjects."

I've just recently come into contact with this amazing black and white photographer and I find that his "art " haunts me long after I fave his captures!
