Kristen Lou's photostream |
Just a gal who loves color and light.
Have always loved photography, but started uploading stuff mainly as a way to organize my incessant signage snapshots. And honestly most of those were taken as record shots, and not necessarily intended as Things Of Beauty.
I really enjoy the way carrying a camera with me changes the way I see the world.
While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see. -Dorothea Lange

"Kristen Lou seems to have an extra sense that enables her to notice and photograph light and shadow patterns that most of us would otherwise miss. Her photographs are so distinctive they are immediately recognisable. Apart from that she is profoundly tasty, and comes highly recommended as a cocktail companion."

"I first saw one of Kristen Lou's pics on that 'everyones photos' on flickr homepage, and just had to check out her whole stream. Probably the only time I've actually done that!
So now she's a regular in 'my contacts,' and I really look forward to checking out her stuff whenever she posts something new!"9th August, 2007

""Kristen Lou"? well she's quite a lady! ........ furthermore she's one of the more generous Flickr contributors with her genuine comments...........and still further, her eye, love for travel, and catching the everyday mundane and making it into art for all of us to see, is fantastic. She's a favorite of mine. She has that zest for life that I find so appealing in human nature. Hand her a camera and you've got a recipe for eye candy and even an occasional banquet, and without the indigestion!"
