I am not a serious photographer, I enjoy using my camera to take pictures which I tend to modify to please myself.

None or very few, of my pictures are SOOC, so if you are a purist, don't bother visiting my photostream, I am not interested in your opinion on how photoshop is not photography etc... unless you are offering to buy me a new camera. All the proceeds made from my pictures are donated to the charities which I support.

I'm a Getty Images Artist

Finally, if you do not like or respect animals, do NOT bother leaving comments on my photostream.

    "Christy's work is always beautiful -- inspirational even. She is a master of Photoshop, producing work of exquisite beauty and charm. She's one of my earliest contacts and it is a pleasure to call her a Flickr friend."

    "I was talking with Christy way back when she added Pongo to her family. Now can follow her and Pongo thru her pictures on flickr.
    The pictures just show the kindness and lovely person I learned she was in all the times we chatted on another site.
    Beautiful artwork Christy, you do well."

    "Pongo's (Christy) photos are always a joy to see. Her love of animals, in particular horses (and of course her beloved cat Pongo) is evident from her work. Pongo has a broad range of photos, from gorgeous landscapes, to macros of insects, and of course her passion, which are horses. What truly inspires me about Christy's work is the creative and artistic way in which she displays her photos. Not only are the photos beautiful to look at, but the titles also add a bit of humor..........all the way from smiling and laughing horses, to shooting for the moon! It is truly a wonderful to have met Christy through Flickr."

    "I have been facinated with the work that this brilliant photographer does for quite a while. If there is someone that takes better photos, especially of horses, I sure wish I could see their work, too :)
    Christy, I just think you are awesome, no matter what you photograph! Keep up the good work! You give me something to aim for!

    "I love Christy's photographs, and I believe Christy loves to make them and puts a lot of her heart and soul into them. Not only do I see Christy's style in the light she employs but also in her artistic composition. She shines on both accounts. I love every photo you take and am honoured to call you my friend :-)"
