chewie2008~'s photostream
|
I'm new to the world of photography, I picked up a used Nikon in April 2008 and started snapping away...
I'm here to have fun above all else... and to be inspired by other flickr folx!
I apologize in advance if I don't reciprocate when a flickr member adds me as a contact. I've reached critical mass in this regards. I don't spend a lot of time on flickr commenting and I wish to keep it that way...

"Thanksgiving day 2009
I must be the only person left on Flickr who hasn't given thanks to the fabulous Woo and his interpretation of life as he knows it in Toronto.
His photographic interpretations and artistic content must be an inspiration for so many people around the world.
Keep up the good work Woo. you are awesome.

"I can't believe I haven't done this yet.. I love Woo's shots. I could recognize one of his shots anywhere, anyhow. His style is totally his own. His rain shots are second to none. He has a way of looking at things, usually from a little low down, that transforms what he is shooting. He is the king not only of rain shots, but urban shots, people shots, bike shots, neon shots, flower shots, up shots, down shots, umbrella shots, I don't do shots, red shots, blue shots, pavement shots, graffiti shots, little m shots, all shots dang it... he is king of all shots.."

"When Mr. I don’t do flowers, brakes for bikes and assures you that he loves to bokeh, you are in for a long ride of unique artistic beauty.
Having you as a contact has been a joy. Thank you Woo for being a great flickr contact. I always look 4ward to seeing your uploads whenever time allows me. And of course I enjoy reading your generous cum funny comments you always write. God bless."22nd September, 2009

"Getting to know 'Chewie' through his photography has been an amazing and inspiring experience for me. His candid street photography has depth that comes from having a natural talent for seeing the photo through the chaos and snapping the shutter just at the right time. His other work is beautiful and amazing as well. I aspire to, one day, produce with the quality and consistency that he does every day."

"Woo is the best flower photographer on flickr who does not do flowers. He's amazing! And seriously, he is the most talented street photographer I've seen. He can make a garbage can on a city street look as gorgeous as a diamond. He is a true artist."

"What can I say about Chewie's photos? His photostream is filled with so many amazing pictures. If you don't see something you like, well you're just stupid, well not really but come on. He has inspired me to try some of his crazy city views. I am honored to have him as a friend on Flickr."

"Chewie2008~ is easily one of my favorite contacts. His images are always fun, bright and beautiful. He captures the essence of life in the big city, in a style that is uniquely his. He finds his strengths in shooting things most photographers wouldn't attempt. Lying in the middle of the road, weathering a downpour, and dangling himself off the edge of a huge gorge are just some of the crazy things he has done to capture the moment. If you haven't had the pleasure of visiting his stream, you should. It is well worth the time you'll spend."

"Every time chewie uploads a new photo it's instantly another favorite for me. I can honestly say that one of my favorite photostreams for me is chewie's. And well I'm not too good with writing testimonials (I've only written two, including this one) but to sum it up plain and simple, I find inspiration in each one of chewie's photographs."

"Knowing that Chewie has only been into photography for such a short period is both incredibly inspiring and frustrating at the same time but mostly the former. His work is consistently amazing and has such a professional look that it deserves to adorn the walls of a gallery. The beauty of the images he captures is not what you see but what is just out of focus. The blurred colours and shapes that your brain recognises and processes but with which your imagination fills in the story."

"What can I say? Chewie's photos truly rock. Exploring his stream is like going into a jewelry store -- you just find gem after gem after gem. He has a great eye for composition and color, but above all the level of creativity is just amazing. Time and again, I see his photos and think "How did he do that? Or even THINK to do that?" Chewie also makes a great effort to help you out with your photos by providing humorous and helpful comments. I'm glad I've gotten to know his work, and I've found a lot of inspiration in the consistent level of quality he achieves. I'm always happy when he finds the time to engage with one of my photos."
