Me: Amateur photographer, I use a Nikon D80, my left eye and a few neurones.

Ce que je déteste:
- Les logos de pools énormes et clignotants (y'a déjà assez de pub dans no vies)
- Les invitations à aller voir vos propres photos (faut pas quémander)
- Les suggestions de cadrage (ça devient agaçant à la longue)
Sinon, tous les autres types de commentaires et critiques sont les bienvenus!
___________________________________________________________________________
What I really don't like:
- Large and flashing pool logos (marketing is already bombarding us daily with these)
- Invitations to visit and comment your own photostream (thou shall not beg)
- Crop suggestions (It really gets annoying)
All other types of comments and criticism are welcome. Enjoy!

L'appareil photo est parfois gênant. Il est récalcitrant. Il est décidé à faire une certaine chose quand vous voulez peut-être en faire une autre. C'est comme un cheval.
- Diane Arbus
On peut photographier n'importe quoi aujourd'hui.
- Robert Frank
La photographie c'est avant tout une composition.
- Stéphane Couturier
Pourquoi souvent les photographes veulent-ils des gens sur leurs photos? Ils sont obsessionnels là-dessus. Ils ont très peur du vide.
- Raymond Depardon
Brassaï possède ce don rare que tant d'artistes méprisent: une vision normale. Il n'éprouve nul besoin de déformer ou de distordre, nul besoin de mentir ou de prêcher. Il voit le monde tel qu'il est.
- Henry Miller
Il n'est pas contestable que nous ne portons qu'une attention distraite au monde extérieur. Le plus souvent, nous ne le voyons pas.
- Charles Juliet

Ansel Olson says:
"Christian understands a great deal more about photography than he lets on. His photographs of architecture and urban details show an attention and clarity that come only from time spent in thoughtful looking. And without a doubt, his children are certain to be great artists."

ifotog, Queen of Manhattan Street Photography says:
"Christian is too modest. He is an incredible photographer and his work continues to get better all the time. He is constantly growing and outdoing his previous work. He has an incredible eye for architecture and the urban environment. I have an immense appreciation for his work and our virtual friendship on Flickr. I always look forward to seeing his new work."
