  "Krust is one real talent. She really knows how to push the envelope. Her photos are beyond visceral and loaded with true emotion. What impresses me the most is she looks so natural in front of the camera. As a photographer, shooting yourself is always challenging. After all, you can't see the flaws until after the photo is shot. Her stream is one that always has me coming back."

  "Krust has such an amazing talent for photography and when combined with the massive amounts of passion and emotion she puts into each shot its no wonder every single one wows and amazes me. Words like "amazing" and "fantastic" seem to fall short in accuracy."

  "Kristi always manages to suprise one and her sense of creativity is unmistakable. Her strong personality is evident in whatever she does and I find it quite charming how easily she seems to be able to portray any type of feelings through photography. Her work is honest, real, heartfelt, striking and without a doubt also well thought of, post processed and considered. Her other interest, writing, gives a lot of depth and interestingness to her work as well as it is nice to read about her daily thoughts, feelings and happenings.
  She's in this for real and her photostream stands out from the crowd the instant you view her first picture. I can only say she's a special young talent worth of keeping an eye on."

  c@rljones says:

  "It's easy to think Kristi gets away with such popularity because of her ravishingly good looks and sumptuous figure (which has been on show to us all many times :p) but it's really much much more than that. Today I realised just how much when she'd posted an image, on the face of it, one we'd seen several times, but today it was different, the look, the toning, the treatment, the whole mood felt different to how it's been before.
  
  And it's this ability, this talent to take something that may seem ordinary (not that she ever looks ordinary) and transform it which I really admire about her.
  
  May you keep us amazed, entertained (and aroused) for many moons to come!"

  TomFlikrPhotos says:

  "Even in the thumbnails in my contacts, I can always tell immediately when I see an Edge photo. Kristi has a very strong vision, unique and distinct. She is very passionate, with extremes of emotion that are compelling. Even her simple photos - her tossing an apple in the air - have strong emotional undercurrents, partly because *she* did them, and partly from the photo itself. As a model she is sensuous and gorgeous and very brave. She is a gifted writer and I always read her descriptions and the stories behind the photos with interest. Finally, she has superb technical skills both behind the camera and in post-production. It is clear she works very hard to get the photos just right - many of her shots must have gone through a lot of takes (in the photo of her jumping on the stairs she got herself at the very leak of the jump, leaving her dress looking like it was hanging - that moment is a fraction of a fraction of a second.)
  
  There is real talent here, and an artist with a distinct voice. I always look forward to her next photo."

  "Where do I begin...In the time that I've been on Flickr, there is no one, (and I do mean "no one") whose photostream touches me like Kristi's! Her ideas are so fresh and innovative, yet she consistently captures the essence of the moment in the most purest of ways. I admire her, and her photography so much! Even though she has a million and one contacts, she still finds time to help the little people, like myself. Thanks for being so awesome, Krust!"

  "what can i say about kristi that hasn't already been said ? her pictures are just awesome. her self-portraits tell you so much about her personality and reveal her character and i think *thats* what makes a great self-portrait. I'm always impressed by the post-processing she does on her pictures. many of them present a message and so they're very meaningful! Kristi's photos carry great emotions and truly have an "edge" to them.
  I'm a great fan of your work; and im looking forward to seeing more of you.
  keep up the great work!

  "Krust was one of my first contacts on flickr (however she confirmed me just a few days :P :) )
  Her pictures are so energic, and full of vim, that's why I love her shots; she can always surprise me with something new and unexpected. For example with pants down in a toilet... :)
  I like her creativity and those lot's of things what she can express with his face."

  "Every time I visit Krust's photos, I find myself saying "How the heck did she do that?" There are a lot of great photographers on here, but only a few brightly burning stars. Krust is one of them. Her amazing works keep me striving for that elusive perfection that graces each and every one of her photos... And dude, she's so sexy :))""

  "Krust, an edgy, inspiring, lovely, and incredible person. I have had love to admire her stream and I am so delighted I can call her a friend. Her self portraits are the most incredible, tasteful and a bit sexy and her young talents are amazing and so inspiring. She continues to grow as a photographer and creates some amazing works or art. This girls ROCKS! and I always look forward to seeing what brilliant ideas she comes up with next. And she has the best toilet paper..had to throw that in...
  She is so wonderful and I thank her for her inspiration and the thrill of being her friend. Keep that shutter clicking and please continue to share with us you artistic vision. AMAZING! Whether she is the model or the lens..she always brings amazement to my eyes. xoxoxox

  Joe Barrett Photography says:

  "Raw and edgy is the best way I can describe Kristi's photo stream. This is especially true when it comes to her self portraits. Each one captures a different mood and emotion and never comes close to typical. Nothing ever feels forced. She can be sexy or playful without trying. Just natural emotion."

  catman_1966 says:

  "To be honest, the first contact I had with Kristi was a photo involving her and an obscene gesture sitting in the "Other Peoples Photos" section on my screen. Once I saw that, I KNEW that she must have a wonderful sense of humor and that I HAD to check out her stream. I'm so glad that I did. Too often, we just see the pretty face and don't bother to look beyond it. When you do, you will see an immensely talented young photographer who tackles many different subjects with her camera with great success. Did I mention that she's hilarious? Once I was done laughing at her "Fucking Moo" cow picture, her rant on automated telephone "conversations" and other annoyances had me rolling on the floor.
  
  I look forward to starting my days with joy and laughter when I visit your site and feel honored to be allowed to share your thoughts and experiences.
  
  Keep it coming Kristi!
  
  Chris ;)"

  "I promised Krust to write a testimonial that will change her life forever, so here it goes lol:
  
  Let me start with this note: Krust is hilarious. She’s funny, energetic, and spontaneous; and this very obvious in her photos. I think that’s a very important part of the way she’s and that’s her unique print as photographer, too. She’s willing to go the extra mile for sure to get a wonderful picture. She has a strong sense of lights, shadows, and colors in general and I really like how she processes her shots and how she edits them. She developed her style and her own vision, full of spirit, and I’m really glad to watch her work and progress.
  
  
  Good luck Krust and keep your eyes open and sharp ;)"

  ""Damn, she is really awsome!"
  
  There is an expression that summarizes, in my opinion, what I feel with every Kristi's new photography and it is: "Damn, she did it again. I'm brutally surprised!! "
  
  Her images are extremely strong, full of feeling, captivating and beautiful. You will never know the way she will surprise you next time.
  
  Better forget about constant and repetitive flower macros or senseless photos in her stream... (with all my respects for them). Kristi's photos are to observe them held up for a while.
  
  Kristi, I adore your B&W skills, your selfportraits, and your constant search of surprising images. You are one of the main reasons I opened a Flickr account. I was looking forward to discover genius people like you.
  
  Please keep leaving us astonished.
  
  I wish you all the best,
  Roberto

  "In complete honestly, I come on flickr to view other people's work to get inspiration. One of the first stops will always be at e|[d]|ge's page. Always.
  
  Aside from the amazing high contrast black and white images that she can generate there are soulful and haunting images that can all too easly become ingrained in your memory. Each of the little series' have bags of personlity and life which places E|[d]|ge's work above the majoity. I can't wait to see what is next.
  
  As we are both young students on different sides of the globe (and we once had the same type of icon!) I really do wish Krust all the best. =]
  
  In short: Awesome person; awesome work. Check it out!"

  jonesaj1006 says:

  "I am pleased to say that I have seen Kristi grow through so much, both as an artist and as a person. That sounds cliched but, I have literally grown with her these past few years.
  
  I have seen her break down because of things in her life and get back up and take pictures about those things. The emotion comes through in them.
  
  I have seen her skip out on things she should have been doing to take pictures and hone her eye and skill.
  
  To watch her grow as an artist has been amazing. I have seen her make the comiment to making art by purchasing the equiptment she needs after working so hard to pay for it (and she can be particually stingy). Her hard work away from the lense has allowed her to expand her art, both in experience and money.
  
  I know this does not sound eloquent at this point, but her emotion comes through in these photos. Also she is constantly on the look out for new shot or ideas. Often times I think she is really in her own little world, living inside her lense. Lastly, her design, balance, focus, and treatments have also improved greatly in the past few months to the point where her finished products show a great range of all the above.
  
  Overall, Kristi is an artist on the rise. Let her get some more experince, in both life and photography and only life can tell where she can take it."

  "Krust will drive you crazy guys !!! :-)
  
  As you can see - some of her shots are depressive, some of them make you smile - but all of them are very sexy! If she lived closer to me I wont hesitate to ask her to pose for my shootings!
  Back to her photograps - She works great with the contrast and lighting. Very creative results!"

  "Kristi has a unique and edgy style that often captures the raw emotions of life. She creates beautiful self portraits, but is also able to show a unique vision of everyday objects and landscapes.
  She has a gift that many photographers desire, the ability to capture things visually and make them her own.
  I'm excited to watch her come up with new and creative photos as her style develops and grows."

  "Kristi is an amazing combination of photographer and model, which I am learning is much harder to do than it sounds. I am always impressed with what she does, and continue to gain new ideas in editting and concepts when visiting here stream. She clearly has learned to become a master in dramatic lighting and concepts which strike viewers throughout her photostream, and she is not afraid to experiment with photoshop. I wish you the best of luck in all your photo-endeavors. Kristi, you rock!"

  Vincent Stephenson says:

  "Kristi makes the kind of images I cannot.
  Personal, engaged and emotional.
  I really think Kristi gives so much of herself through her art that it borders on the excessive sometimes.
  It is a real privilege to see someone grow in their art form so explosively and with such passion.
  It's in your face and you can't avoid it.
  
  Kristi combines a keen eye, an obvious sense of the theatric and her passion in some of the most vibrant images on Flickr
  
  Clearly an individual of talent that is desperate to get out into the world, hopefully it will.
  
  Nice work Kristi

  "In the short time i have been following Kristi's work, i have seen her talent and technical skills grow leaps and bounds, her work is dark and moody, and as of late tastefully sexy and erotic. She has definitely mastered the art of self portraits, but is no means one dimensional, I look forward to seeing all of her future photography and hope she plans on doing this for a long time."

  "Kristi is by far the most talent "young person" I say this because she is still a baby to me that I have had the pleasure of coming across on Flickr. In fact I never would have know how young she is without her actually telling me because her photography skills are superb and she really has an eye for the details in her photographs. Not to mention she has a rockin' body, stunningly beautiful face and a wonderful personality to boot. I can't wait to see what she does next and when she is famous I will be able to say "I knew her back when""
