  I'm Mike, this is my show says:

  "I've been lucky to know Chieska for a few years now, and I'm always impressed by her sensitivity and ability to bring out and portray the depths of whoever or whatever she's shooting. Her photostream really demonstrates that bit about colour vs b/w:
  
  "When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!"
  ~Ted Grant
  
  Chi does amazing things with cameras and it's always an exciting treat to see that she's posted something new. I know I need to work on my game before I can hope to regularly post work of any comparable quality, and Chi is one of the barometers I gauge myself against when I think I'm hot shit and need to be humbled."

  "she plays the tourist bit, aiming at a criminal, a smile and a bow, she races away before he changes his grinding teeth into a return smile. Little does he know he just faced a ninja with a camera. Watch out for this soul thief with a cute face."

  "Someone said photography, in a way, is the negation of chronology. I think the work of this great and courageous woman is the proof of that stament. Chieska seeks in a world where no refuge is possible and –that’s the miracle for me– find always the other side of the look, a creative reincarnation of the past make from the future. Sometimes I think she is an emisary of a forgotten but never ending belief: the human being as the center of all creations and, at the same time, of all isolations. Drown in these waters. You can breath down there."

  "Japan produced many of the 20th century''s most exciting and innovative
  photographers,welcome to the top of the list for 21st century.
  her work has an effortless quality that many lesser photographers
  spend a lifetime trying to cultivate.
  A natural talent with no pretensions.
  Chieska Is a taste of the future."

  "Chieska's black and white photography is one of a kind on flickr. From her grainy, candid portraits of strangers that emerge from around the street corner, to her urban captures and beyond, Chieska works with light and compositions carefully and creates fantastic depths and moods with her range of grey scale. Un depart triste, one of my favorite images on her stream, breathes elegance and timelessness. Cheers, my friend- I always look forward to seeing your work."

  "I will be the first! You are an amazing photographer. you can make the smallest of subject so interesting. one particle photo that i love is "alone" it is just a kid siting at what appears to be a desk..but there is so much story involved with this photo. another i love is "Evening Lesson". she knows her area. this little window and what inside make for amazing composition. she is a true artist and i hope that she is a professional photographer..or on her way to being one because she is amazing! KUDOS to you! love you work!"
