inklake's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

Visit me on my blog.

"Inklake" comes from a collection of short stories edited by Michael Ondaatje, called "From Ink Lake".

Using a Canon EOS 10D and a Lumix LX1 (Leica) point and shoot for its excellent 28mm lens and range of format options (4:3, 3:2 and 16:9). A fair number of my earlier photos are from a $200 Olympus point-and-shoot I won in a 50/50 draw.

I shoot a lot of video and learned photography using a Nikon FM2 film camera. I'm here to learn lots more.

Sometimes I'll give suggestions, but for the most part I just like to admire people's creativity. The act of taking a photo means one more person just thought about where they live, what they see and how they're going to find a way to express it.

""I have been following Kevin's photos for some time now and I must say that I have been captivated by his versatility as a photographer.
Kevin has a great eye for detail and he can create a masterpiece from something as simple as a light bulb or a piece of wood.
His genuine interest and love of his surroundings is evident in his photos. And the way in which he manages to capture people in such a special and artistic way keeps me coming back for more.
It is always a pleasure for me to visit Kevin's page to view his new photos.

"Kevin's (Inklake) creative and technical ability allow him to create quality photographs that draw the viewer into the scene, as a witness in the midst of things. His images capture the spirit of his subjects and evoke emotion! His photos are absolutely beautiful, full of life, and very imaginative. Inlake’s work is very strong. I always enjoy visiting his photo stream to see what new wonderful images he has posted! Thank you so much for sharing them with us all.
Jenny ☺"

"Every photographer leaves a little imprint of himself/herself in their photography – some call it ‘photographer DNA’; and I’m not sure that I can come up with a better term to describe what I’d like to describe about Kevin’s photography.
That DNA here is a pure heart. These images are reflections of someone who sees the world with affection, and that radiates through – no matter if he shoots nature, people, or things. And I like to see more of that in the world – keep them coming, Kevin!"

"Kevin's photostream will amaze and captivate you, wether it is something as simple of close up of his beautiful daugthers, or looking at a different pov of lock on an old gate, with wonderful bokeh. He can take the simple and make it spectacular, I am honored to get the opprotunity to write this and comment on his photos time and again.

Thank you for sharing your unique perspective on life through the art of photography.

Ben"

"His images are always varied and interesting! I loved the Thailand pictures inparticular, where you can see into the people and his adventure there!! He loves to show you his family and friends and I like to see them through his lens!

One thins I like is his use of light in his image. The colours are often bright and well lit!

So keep up the good work and I'll keep coming back for more!"

"Kevin's constantly scanning for a captivating picture and his stream is a clear example that he's got a talent for it. Filled with interesting images from around the world Kevin has not settled on one particular type of photo but instead puts his talent to the test by producing stunning macros, wonderful landscapes (seascapes), intriguing architecture, and some of the best portraits you'll find. Its a treat to follow "Inklakes" stream as you never know what genre of imagery will come up next but you can be assured it'll be something interesting."
