  Your muse... says:

  "When I first began to enjoy viewing photography, I thought it was all about taking a crisp- clear image of something....but ....after coming to Flickr and discovering " panic-embryo"......I found that photography can be so much more. It can be an expression of the artist, taking an image and enhancing it and creating an aura that draws the viewer in. Craig has the talent to coax the viewer into his creative images...spawned from the depths of his psyche....ever luring us in......seducing us to come back over and over again to see what he will come up with next?? Craig enables the viewer to interpret his images and become an integral part of his Art.... a give and take of ideas... and the motivation to push further and dig deeper to reach this captive audience..... I look forward to continuing the exchange between Artist and aficionado.. :oP Gracias mi querido amigo"

  "To keep it short: Craig is one of the most talented artists for moody images I have been fortunate see here and elsewhere! I hope we all can enjoy more of his fantastic and pioneering work in the future here on flickr and maybe someday in the MOMA or Louvre or…!!!!"

  "Your visuals are absolutely devouring my time. Mentally deranged dystopian artifacts interbreeding with a raw style.
  Beautiful.

  "How often i have stumbled upon these images, only to flail about stupidly, in attemps to find the most appropriate words to exclaim my appreciation, my admiration and sheer joy at beholding them.
  
  There is no real way of describing it, but here i shall at least try.
  
  Panic-embryo's images are the landscape of dreams that only a true poet or artist has the gift to translate. I often feel as though i am not quite woken when viewing them, the boundaries between nocturnal visions and waking beauty are almost lost here; to a twilight world of visual wonders and delights. The beauty here touches something deeply integral to us all, an aching nostalgia to be reunited with an ancient magical appreciation for nature itself.
  and whatever this magic may be, this photographer has certainly managed to fuse with it, to harness it, to be able to create with it these glorious vistas and visual charms.
  
  beyond this simple statement, my words begin to fail my intentions to describe what i feel.
  so i must quit while im ahead:)
  
  such remarkable works, thankyou for sharing them with us all."

  "The poet e.e. cummings refers (brilliantly) to "the shy town of my mind" and I often think of that when I visit Craig's stream.
  
  His work tells many stories, but it also sheds light on the dedication, care, intellect and gentle thoughtfulness of the man toiling behind the camera.
  
  The id panic-embryo seems perfect to me, capturing well the darkness and light you see in his work. All of it beautiful.
  
  Thanks, Craig :)"

  "Albert Einstein said that imagination is more important than knowdlege, but Craig's photography tries, and succeeds, at having them be on equal terms. The images seen through this body of work will make you wonder which of, or how, the two created what your eyes see and enjoy, and your mind tries to travel to that destination to enjoy. Yes, Craig's photos are about getting to a destination, though never final, just a place to wait for the next one. Freeing one's mind is a good thing before you entering this portfolio."

  "Craig's images are so unique. There is something about every single picture he takes that draws me to them...they all tell a story. It feels like Craig puts everything he has into each and every image. Starting with his beautiful compositions, the subjects and then the mood. He creates a feeling in his pictures like no one else. Every time I look at his new capture, I feel like I've just finished reading a novel. He is definetly one of my favourite people here on flickr and I always look forward to what's ahead. You have an awesome talent, and thanks for sharing it!"

  "Craig’s images coat me in palpable bliss, as a spectra of neural electric activities bounce and ricochet about in my head. A visit to this truly inspired stream promises to take you to havens unknown.
  Take your time; soak up these intellectually layered images slowly. Breathe deeply and revel in the sounds of vulnerable winds, restless seas and the most joltingly silent wails.
  Panic Embryo is your tour guide, and these images – - ever heavy with emotion and undeniable complexity – -are his world…"

  "Craig's photostream is like trying to outweigh something heavy versus pudding-quality. In other words, heavy/light, and in sense, quite different from one another --- each image like a tolerable progression to the next, as each surrealistic execution is discovered into the symbolicness of his photographic melodies. And, indeed, they are like melodical harmonies for me; providing me with the perfect pause like instrumental improvisation and the creativism that Ron Geesin would be envious of! Or, probably *proud* of.
  
  All in all, it is quite easy to determine what the future of Craig's photography holds, like a lone cellist waiting to be discovered, yet he has already been discovered by his fans on flickr and I'm certain there's more to come.
  
  Always a Joy to visit his applauding stream filled with explosive cannonballs of experimentation! And, if you're currently reading this, then please dig deep into this stream --- you will be glad you did!
  
  Please continue to Shine on, my friend!"

  "his works makes me think if this is an lonely world... or if we are living between another, different but similar at the same time, he makes me believe in a parallel dimension, a magical one... from the soul of his creations."

  "Surreal, imaginative, intimate, epic and extreme. Every image here illustrates care and patience, both behind the camera and behind the computer. Brilliant photography. I always look forward to more!"
