[Martha*]. Get yours at bighugelabs.com/flickr

This is me.

I am female, I am a dreamer, I am self taught. I started taking pictures when I bought my first DSLR, two years ago. I collect preserving bottles to put flowers in, pebbles who look like hearts and memorys.
I love the summer time, ice with sprinkles, chocolate and running barefoot in the sand.
I never go out without my Moleskine notebook, I am a coffee junky, I always touch animals without asking them for permission, I see things through children eyes.
I am complex, I am simple. I love old trees in the fog. I talk with animals.
I love Ladybugs and Orangutans most of all. I would like to have an old house and a dog and an old appletree where I can lie under and talk with earthworms. Guess what, these little things are so chatty!
When I am happy, I am creative. When I am creative, my head is full of ideas and sometimes I am afraid that my head is going to burst.
I take pictures of anything that will stay still long enough. It breaks my heart when people tease and kill animals. That's why I am a vegetarian.

    "Martha is another flickr veteran that I admire as a photographer and a sweet person. She has consistently produced many pleasant photos that makes me keep going to her photo stream to see more and get inspired. When I first started out on flickr I was so impressed by her waterdrop photography. Everytime I look at them I get a WOW reaction!! She also has many gorgeous flower shots and many other lovely photos of nature. Martha, Thank you so much for your active support of my work!"

    "I've only known Martha for a few weeks, but in that time she has been a bright, funny, positive and thoughtful Flickr friend.

    That's not the main reason she deserves your attention though - She's one of the finest macro nature photographers out there on the streams. All her images are of an impeccably high standard, both in capture and post processing. The term "picture postcard" is bounced around a lot these days, but her images could and should be on postcards, greetings cards, motivational posters etc... Very inspirational indeed.

    Soft and cute may not be for all you butch men (or women) out there, but we can ALL learn to be better photographers by looking at what she does and applying her creative techniques in our own work.

    Did I say she has an awesome bubbly sense of humor too?"

    "Martha ist einer der kreativsten und talentiertesten Menschen, die ich hier auf Flickr bisher gesehen habe. Ihr Fotostream ist so schön vielseitig, witzig, vital und trägt ihre höchsteigene Handschrift. Ich mag die Stories um das Danbo-Männchen oder die kleinen, liebevoll komponierten Kunstwerke, die sie präsentiert. Und immer wieder schafft sie es, mir noch ein verblüfftes "Boah" zu entlocken:-) Nicht zuletzt die Professionalität und das technisch hohe Niveau ihrer Bilder sind ebenfalls beeindruckend!

    Nebenbei bemerkt ist sie sehr freundlich und charmant:-)

    Martha, ich freue mich auf Deine künftigen Arbeiten...

    "Hmmmm...where do I start, I do not write these things very often...but I am so consistently amazed at Martha's photography I thought I should share what I felt about it. There are many people on Flickr taking many photographs, but not so many that are capturing a truly "unique" moment. Martha does this in every shot she takes and is a very sweet human being at the same time! We love you Martha...keep up the brilliant work! Machel-"

    "When I launched your photostream from the first photo I was attached to it by it's amazing colorfulness, softness and smoothness. Although this photostream is still not big it obviously contains 100% pure beauty.
    I am sure that I will be coming back to your photostream to check it much more often to get that dose of photographical beauty.;)"

    "Martha has the softest cutest images in the world! If you're a girl, you'd love her photos and go "awww". If you're a guy, yes, we ARE better at macro shots, look at Martha! (Okay scratch that, just kidding. But seriously, her photos!) They're simply amazing, and I don't understand why my images look so much less heavenly. I cannot wait to see what more she brings us in the coming days.

    "Martha wird mir -sicher- verzeihen, wenn ich ihren Namen manchmal auf "Marthaaah" erweitere, denn das hat seinen Grund: Marthaaah ist eine Inspiration (das hab' ich irgendwo abgeschrieben ... weil 's bei ihr stimmt!). - Mit ihr geht 's mir wie mit Menschen ;o) : Man begegnet sich zufällig und verliert sich wieder aus den Augen. Oder auch NICHT. Bei Marthaaah ist 's "oder auch NICHT".
    Warum? ... Weil ! :
    Schaut euch ihre Bilder an, speziell die ihrer Blumen und ihr wisst 's. Das sind für mich kleine Kunstwerke, farblich wunderschön Ton in Ton komponiert, sensibel ins (immer) rechte Licht gerückt. Oft fantastisch nah und doch mit eigenartig stolzer Zurückgenommenheit. Ihre Arbeiten zeigen Akribie, ohne dass dabei der Blick fürs Wesentliche verloren geht.
    Ich bin froh, dass sich Marthas flickr-Wege mit meinen gekreuzt haben. Gedanklich schenk' ich ihr viele bunte Blumen (vielleicht is' auch 'n Baum dabei oder 'n Acker oder 'n Wasserfall...), damit wir von ihr hiervon weiter erstaunlich schön ins Zweidimensionale Transformiertes sehen werden. Ich bleib' gespannt! Ciao Marthaaah. Und Danke!"
