Your work is so unique! Love how you send thought-provoking messages with a little bit of humor. You are a true master of lighting and photo-editing! Very enjoyable work....Lynn

WOW! Awesome image and effects James!

5/7/2008 2:09:24 AM

Thanks Mike, Lynn, and Wanda-Lynn!

5/7/2008 7:09:19 AM

James, I don't want to sound repetative but when it's true it's true. Your work is inspiring and thought provoking at the same time as it is humorous. I enjoy every time you upload a new one. I can't imagine how many hours you spend at your computer. Kepp it up.

5/7/2008 11:45:41 AM

Thanks Dave! If that's repetitive, I'll take it! Honestly, the fact that some people enjoy what I do makes all the time worthwhile.

5/7/2008 11:56:34 AM

I agree. I wait with bated breath for each new James Quantz post! You have a sort of surreal way of seeing the world.
Do elephants really smell GOOOD?

Thanks Robyn & Kimi! Maybe the judges will like this one...

5/9/2008 12:14:06 PM

James, I know we all strive to be recognized by the editors, however do not let that get in your way, your creativity and technical skills need no further acknowledgement other than what you give to those that enjoy your work. Keep it up. Dave

5/9/2008 3:15:09 PM

Thanks Dave. I promise you recognition (or not) from the editors here won't sway my work. Sometimes though it is funny what is recognized...

Hi James!!
What an AWESOME image!
I just saw it in the PC PHOTO Magazine!!
That is so outstanding!! One of these days, mabey you will see me in there?
Again CONGRATULATIONS!!

7/6/2008 6:21:04 PM

Thanks Jean-Pierre and Dominick! Hey Elizabeth, I haven't seen it yet but they are supposed to be sending me a copy. Hopefully it printed okay! There maybe some more news with this image soon as I'm starting production on a DVD. I'm thinking of breaking it down and constructing it for viewers to see and learn techniques from my workflow.

7/7/2008 1:11:36 PM

A DVD you say, now that sounds very interesting!! Congratulations again, you have done extremely well=^..^=

7/7/2008 3:27:37 PM
