I am gcs
"the way it is" comes straight from no other than Walter Cronkite. When after the news of the day, the good, the bad, the ugly, he'd simply say "...That's the way it is". I'm inspired by brilliance, nothing else.

"I don't write these much, which should lend credence to why I am writing this one. I've simply been taken by her subtle little things too many times to allow her to go on without my written approval. The nature of such a nuanced vision requires others to speak on her behalf. So here I am, telling whoever you are that she gets my stamp."

"gcs and i only know each other through our images, its a lovely kind of friendship.
Her pictures are tender and powerful, i catch myself teary eyed sometimes, i can't say that about very many photographers.
Making her favorites makes my day :)"7th April, 2006

"Gwen is a photo poet , a good suffered lady and a half silent "woet" too. Have a look at her picture of the cloth on the barbed wire . Now there is a heart and a narrative power. Here is a lady that speaks deep pain in the currents of shared quiet human muteness where the partly liquid eyes form voice.
In her photo's she encodes her soul and partly ours - as it should be .."3rd July, 2005
