Marisa Livet		10-May-2006 08:04
I really like thematic galleries and mostly when the subject is urban aspects of life. You are talented as a photographer, because your pictures are so nicely taken, but you have also the most important element which attracts me to a photography style, you have a personal way to choose your angles, your subjects and to offer them to the viewer in a nicely original way. A really good work here, to discover and relish Marisa

Fong Lam		07-May-2006 12:33
Interesting street photography. Well done!
