Dalmatica's photostream

-At This Party-
I don't want to be the only one here
Telling all the secrets --
Filling up all the bowls at this party,
Taking all the laughs.
I would like you
To start putting things on the table
That can also feed the soul
The way I do.
That way
We can invite
A hell of a lot more
Friends.
ACT GREAT. ALWAYS ACT GREAT.
And so I might not add you as a contact right away as I need to process at first why are you adding me, what moves you; in essence, who you are. Good things grow over time.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble and attempts what is above its strength." Thomas A. Kempis

Alan Wentworth says:
"I really enjoy following Dalmatica's visual explorations as she travels across the world with her trusty Leica, and superhero Jaganatha.
She's a super-positive force here on Flickr, and a good friend. I'm glad our paths have crossed.
Thanks for sharing your photos with us, Mariana."16th June, 2008

Cirano says:
"After a long time away, coming back to Mariana’s photostream makes me feel like a child in a toyshop… and I’m not referring just to one of her favourite subjects (robots and toys)!!
Amazed by the kaleidoscope of colors and perspectives coming out of her imagination, it’s always a pleasure for me to have some fun on her private playground!
So what are you waiting for? Come and play!"17th January, 2007

fengschwing says:
"Take a look at Dalmatica's pictures and see a woman who is not only living her life exactly how she wants to but with great grace, kindness, generosity of spirit and an indestructible sense of fun. She broke her rose tinted glasses and threw 'em away, she doesn't need them.
Plus there are robots.
Did I mention the robots?"15th December, 2006

"passion. fearlessness. poetry. love. humor. art. spirit. dirt. vision. hope. life.
i have to stop myself here, because i could go on and on about the reasons i love dipping my toes into the river of mariana's stream. it's filled with SO MUCH LIFE, it takes my breath away. i had the honor of meeting her, and saw for myself just how much spirit this woman has. it's powerful, it's visceral, and it's so very very evident in her work. the light bursting forth from darkness, the skills when it comes to composition and color -- she's an amazing talent, but even moreso, she's a fine, fine human."13th November, 2006

ArcherPhoto says:
"Como todo el mundo ha escrito esto en inglés, yo lo escribiré en castellano. Las fotos de Dalmatica son estupendas. Tiene un ojo especial para sacar partido a muchas cosas que quedan inadvertidas para todos los demás, logrando, además de la sorpresa, un estupendo efecto estético.
As long as everyone wrote this in English, I will write it in Spanish. Dalmatica's photos are awesome. She's got a knack finding things that remain unnoticed for everyone else, getting, besides the surprise, a remarkable aestethic effect."7th November, 2006

torbakhopper says:
"i can't believe it's taken me so long to write a testimonial for dalmatica's stream
her work is moving on so many different levels and filled with visible spirit.
as a contributor to the camera haiku pool, she has helped define the art form with her creativity and focused eye.
as a traveler, she brings back news from places i've never been.
as a city dweller, she captures moments and spaces and places in time that provoke thought and interest.
as a contact, she graces my own pages with thoughtful responses and delightful insights.
take some time in this stream and you will find soul.
thanks for being an important part of my daily flickr world, m"14th July, 2006

""What These Feet Have Seen" is the first photo I ever saw from Mariana. It's a favourite that I keep returning to. Front page of her wonderful "Human" set, it just keeps talking and talking to me. :) I love the division between human and robot she makes because Mariana is a deeply human photographer who knows very well how to operate a highly intelligent machine - the camera."
