I'm a painter by profession, but photography has always been a big part of my life. Until now I've used it more as a memory jogger for paintings, but flickr has renewed my interest in photography as its own art form. I love viewing the constant kaleidoscope of images within this community. I'm Female and Taken.

There is a presence in her work that is missing from others, including my own. Thanks Lorrie for sharing - you have many fans." "Lorrie is -- without a doubt --THE single biggest inspiration for me as a photographer. I would give the proverbial anything to be able to see just once as she sees."

Lorrie will always offer that constructive comment that we all look for in our work. Thankyou for your support over 2006, looking forward to following you on your ever changing path for another year of very inspireing work. Steve" "..words cannot express this utterly inspirational, gracious, unparalleled talent.. Thank You, Lorrie!" "Having only found Lorrie's photostream about three months ago, I was dumbfounded how I have been missing such beautiful images, fantastic collages, and exquisite paintings. I look forward to when my updated contact list shows her new work!" "A beautiful woman with a beautiful stream. You get more fantastic images in one place than most corners of flickr! What are you doing still reading this, go quick look, really look, at it all!!" "I stumbled across Lorrie McClanahan's photographs by accident and was immediately struck by the simplicity and clarity of her vision. Over the next few months I came to appreciate how deeply Lorrie's work is grounded in form and color. She has the rare quality of being able to look at the mundane and see something absolutely beautiful. Her photographs astonish; they seduce the eye and captivate the mind. I'd like to spend a week behind Lorrie McClanahan's eyes." "Fantastic artist. Every one of her works has a powerful an unique vision. Thanks Lorrie for sharing your talent with us!" "Lorrie is a very versatile photographer, capturing anything from landscapes, close-ups, still life and lifestyles. Her photographs, largely comprising of vibrant and radiant shades and tones of colour, show her skill of Photoshop, where she brilliantly tunes the photos to perfection. As an artist myself, I feel that she skillfully incorporates her talent into the photography art form. Her portfolio enlists her as one of the pioneers on Flickr." "There are few people I'm in awe of when it comes to their artistic talent. Lorrie is one of them. Every single time I think to myself "she can't ever post anything better than this..." she makes a liar out of me but in this case I'm happy to be proven wrong. Her photography skills are second to none and her photoshop skills are.. well.. in class by themselves. I hope she keeps sharing her unique vision of the world around her (and the one in her mind) because I know I've learned so much from watching the wonderful work she does. Thank you!" "Lorrie never fails to surprise and delight me with the shots she makes. I've seen her write "I'm not a photographer"; but one look at the photos she's made will show that she could be." "I would love to meet Lorrie in person. Here on Flickr she radiates, not only with her kind, insightful and constructive comments on other people’s work, but also and especially in her art. Her work is multi-layered and mysterious. She manages to pack a huge amount of emotion into her creations – here is someone who understands relationships and has had her share of pain. Lorrie cares about other people and shows it. She is a true artist, and her art is always beautiful and inspiring. I have learned a great deal by carefully studying what she displays here in Flickr. Thank you mcartist11!" "Lorrie McClanahan is not just a wonderful photographer, is a great painter with lots of creative skills and ideas. Being multi-talented, has taken her photography to a different level. Her photography always surprises me with its innovative styles and it is a joy to see it everytime!" "Wow, what to say? This was one of the first folio's I visited when joining the flick and from then on I was immediately addicted to Lorrie's photography. Referring back to this is like walking through a metaphysical interior of pleasure. The creative control and eye of this woman is beyond fascinating as if every upload is a religious experience. Her endless creative themes of simplifying forms to the more dramatic conflictuations have been influential. If there was a soul that was yearning for the spirit of art, then this would be the place to fulfill that need. Did I mention her wicked personality and kindness? Like a prudence thrown to the wind, she holds nothing back." "She has helped me on several occasions answering questions that I had about her work. She's always been willing lend a helping hand. Her artistic eye for a good photograph is what keeps me frequenting her photostream. An amazing artist she is!" ""Artist" is an intangible, difficult to define. Is it creativity, sensitivity, an eye for detail? Is it the childlike awe of investigation that makes you want to capture that lighting-bug in a jar and never forget the wonder of it lighting up on a dark summer night. Is it the intuitive use of subtlety in imagery that will spark and challenge the imagination of others? Yes, it's really hard to pin down a definition, but Lorrie certainly fits the bill!" |
