I giving in.. I've always loved your photo "Ferguson Center" and have decided that this for my living room . The arches in the walk way match the arch in my upper windows. This would look so pretty above my fireplace . We need to discuss size and boarder.

Hello, Leo. I received my "Razzle-dazzle" print in the mail yesterday. I wanted to thank you for sending it so promptly and how happy I am to have it to go with the "Bedazzled" print. I absolutely love them and can't wait to frame them and hang them up this weekend. I only wish I had more walls so I could have more of your gorgeous work. I hope to see you in Charlotte again! Brenda Stubbs

Hi, Leo. I got your web address from Louise recently and just now browsed your gallery. (big smile) Your art is breathtaking. I love that you have the ability to make me see a new piece of beauty in an everyday item. There are so many of your prints that I would love to have, but to start with it will be "Off To See the Wizard". My bedroom is decorated with the artwork of people and places I loved the most, and I am VERY excited to add you to my collection! Lovingly, Your cousin, Linda Richard Wilt

Hi Leo. I just wanted to tell you how nice it was to meet you at the Art on the Square in Belleville, Illinois. I just love your images and so glad I purchased 'Bedazzel". You are a fantastic artist, thank you for taking the time to talk to me. Your images inspire and facinate me. I hope your stay in Belleville was pleasant.

hi Leo, the 'not quite exactly the same piano' - (above mantle) art and "cheers! fun while it lasted" print (in the dining room) are such great additions to this home...thanks! saw you at the Boston Mills Art Fest this past year

Mirla		28-Mar-2011 01:32
Leo my friend - I'm so very blown away at this discovery of the astonishing extent of your right brain. I suppose this might be the way I stay in touch with you after you fly away from Oberlin. Be well.

Sheri & Doug Story		13-Jul-2010 14:22
Leo - we love our two newest additions to our art collection - "When Your Smiling" and "Fun While It Lasted!" Thank you!

Mike Dunbar		14-Jan-2007 14:55
The consistently mesmerising tones you're producing suggest to me that you're doing something very right! Keep up the great work. Thanks.

Guest		10-Jan-2007 04:24
Lovely work, I'm especially fond of your abstracts. Cheers!

Thank you so much for your comment on my photo of the Weed.

magoo		20-Aug-2006 12:59
You are an amazing artist. I love your way of looking at the world.

Guest		20-Aug-2006 08:30
One of the great galleries in PBase. Technique + humanity = art. Thanks for existing.

Guest		20-Jul-2006 21:47
Awesome galleries! Regards, Jan

Guest		19-Jul-2006 17:43
Thank you so much for both your comments and votes!

Guest		09-Jul-2006 02:00
Autumn ... thanks for stopping by My PaD and the compliment. After browsing your wonderful galleries and fantastic collection of images, I'm flattered you took time to comment on one of mine. Cheers. /robo

tomr-photos		08-Jul-2006 12:06
One benefit of commenting on another's gallery: I never would have known what I was missing. Thanks for commenting...and for making me aware that your work exists. There are a bunch of really good photographers here. Unfortunately, some will remain unknown because they don't take the time to put in a word of encouragement for a fellow photographer. You taught me a lesson. As lousy as I am with my comments/critiquing, I'll make more of an effort to say something...even a simple word as "voted". - Tom

Naomi		02-Jun-2006 14:00
A pbase friend referred me to your galleries. They are indeed lovely!

Chuck Kuhn		23-Mar-2006 14:33
Thanks for the comments on my Golden Gate bridge. I will come here, truly amazing photographer YOU ARE..

Guest		10-Mar-2006 15:01
On the subject of creativity, I think I find you the best photographer I've seen on Pbase.

Debbie Stahre		02-Jan-2006 13:00
Very refreshing work in your galleries! I especially love the glassworks.

William L. Taylor		27-Dec-2005 06:39
I'm the "kite nut" you photographed. I looked at your site and was bowled over. As a retired lifetime professional photographer, I give you highest marks. You have a good eye, superb technique and visualization. Keep up the good work. With digital now, there is a whole new world for us out there. After a life time spent learning how to use film, now I need to learn how to use digital!

Lauren Stephan		19-Dec-2005 09:01
Leo~ It's 3:45 in the morning. I got up over 2 hrs ago to tend to one of the twins. I came downstairs to get a drink of water and I've been looking at your site ever since (only quiet, uniterrupted time I get). I can't even find the words to accurately describe how amazed I am with your work. I continue to be awestruck with your talent and so thrilled that you have let it OUT so we can ALL enjoy it! Can't wait to share your site with my family this Christmas. I think I'm going to want to do a "seasons" of Williamsburg selection for my home. It's just going to be so doggone hard to pick the actual photos 'cause they're all so great! I'll be in touch! ~Lauren

Andrew Lee		08-Dec-2005 19:26
you've got an awesome gallery! Very inspiring and very talented!

Guest		15-Nov-2005 04:44
It means so much to me as an amateur photographer to see your nice comments. Thank you so much! :)

Guest		10-Nov-2005 11:30
I just keep coming back to your work over and over again. You have such a zest for life and photography...it shows! Please keep sharing your wonderful photographs with the world, it is certainly a pleasure to view...and so much fun! Cory Bamburg

ctfchallenge		27-Oct-2005 21:28
WOW...many of ur images left me speechless! I would feel more than honoured, if you could sop by at my pbase and leave some criticism! Best regards, Armin

Sheila Lauder aka Northbeach		22-Oct-2005 20:37
I don't know why I never looked here before...a veritable treasure trove of images. Your work is outstanding, evoking emotional response from laughter to sadness. I believe good photography engages the feelings as well as the eye.

Guest		20-Oct-2005 02:41
Hello, I've visited before, along with other members The Feminine Perspective and I thought you might like to see our 'Alphabet Soup' gallery that you inspired :) http://www.pbase.com/the_feminine_perspective/alphabet_soup Thanks ~ Clare

Well as a backward geriatric buying used 5700 I came across your gallery today and talent of this magnitude earns tributes and wonder I now know the dross i produce I am in awe.

Guest		19-Aug-2005 12:38
You have a wonderful gallery. I love your pictures they are magnificent. Keep up your beautiful work. Ilana

BonsEYE		15-Aug-2005 02:19
I really appreciate your comment on my PAD. I've had your "Self Exposed" gallery bookmarked since well before I even joined Pbase. Everything you've captured is such a great inspiration for me to keep picking up that camera, looking, exploring and trying to capture the world around me. Many thanks.

Guest		11-Aug-2005 16:08

Wanted to get a new camera and then saw your gallery of amazing pictures with the E5700 Nikon. Changed my mind about upgrading!

Robbie D70		03-Aug-2005 20:20
Hello , It never fails to amaze me the richness of this site and the fantastic photographs found on p base. Your galleries have done this today ! I have found fresh inspiration from your exciting work . Thanks and I will be back to view more.

Rene Hales		01-Aug-2005 11:20
Thank you for your recent visit to my PaD and your most kind comments. I too enjoy popping over to see what you have been up to.--Rene

Guest		30-Jul-2005 03:37
Charette, your galleries are great, full of very creative, entertaining and inspiring work. In fact, I got inspiration from your Marbles 'n' Glass gallery and used your 'Cheers' idea for an image of my own for an entry in KM C38: Chocolate:http://www.pbase.com/image/46725481 I've acknowledged you and your work in the caption for that one. Thanks for the excellent idea! :^) Cheers, John

Guest		25-Jul-2005 14:08

Thanks for you recent comment. Your galleries are fantastic! I love the creativity! The "rumble" shot is priceless. Chuck

Rene Hales		12-Jun-2005 12:08
Thank you for leaving a comment on "eggsactly". I have visited one or two of your iamges before, but I took a longer look around this time and have added you to my favorites. You have many wonderful and creative images, I will return often to enjoy and be inspired. The effect on "eggsactly" is called weird lines.--Rene

John Beck		27-May-2005 00:42
What a wonderful gallery! I plan on stopping here often.

antje kroeger photograpie		02-Apr-2005 23:05

Followed a link from the challenge site - and so glad I did. I've really enjoyed looking through your galleries. You've got some beautiful and very original images. Thank you.

We have an artist at work here! Each image is carefully crafted with love and passion. These galleries engender literately spirits. Congrat!

Just beautiful ! Belle galerie à visiter pour s'évader.

Guest		24-Feb-2005 23:46
Thank you for commenting my photos. I really appreciate it, especially when coming from an outstanding photographer like you. All of your galleries are excellent work. And your still-life and abstract photos are my favorite!

markvm		18-Feb-2005 00:06
Thanks for your comments! Yeah, that's me and I was using an aroma candle that comes in a glass jar for the lighting. Two wicks though..:)

Guest		12-Feb-2005 00:17
After viewing through your galleries, I can conclude that you are one of the best in Pbase. Perhaps I'm ignorant and haven't seen all of the excellent pictures yet. Your pictures all have very natural and "COOL" color, and good constrast between the light and shadow. I'm amazed by how well you manipulate the lighting. I'm gonna start experimenting more with my camera.

Shelly- VA Beach		06-Jan-2005 02:48
I live in Va Beach and have never appreciated Coll. of W&M or Wmburg as much as I have thru your pics! Will definitely have to revisit them both to "see" what you're seeing. Beautiful galleries, all.

Jim Woodworth		24-Dec-2004 23:37
Beautiful images! You should post on DPReview more often, so others would discover these galleries.

Saskia		09-Dec-2004 19:30
Hi there, Re my framing: what I do is use the same picture as a background (sometimes a crop if there's not enough going on around the edges) and add a gaussian blur. Then I make a new vector layer where I draw a box along the inside of the frame and blur that too, very lightly. That's it!

Stan Richard		08-Dec-2004 12:56
Autumn Sky, thanks for the nice comments on my Fire in the Sky photo. Cheers! Stan

markvm		15-Nov-2004 22:21

Richard		27-Feb-2004 01:01
Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the photos of Colonial Williamsburg. Your work is the best on CW that I have found on the internet. This William and Mary alum thanks you for sharing.

Bob and Lil		28-Dec-2003 20:31
Just heard about your galleries from Linda. The work of His hands is just superb and you have captured it so well. Will continue to enjoy them from time to time.

gsjaa		08-Jul-2003 04:03
Nice to follow you from dp review to pbase. I liked your photos and their framing and arrangement too. Are all your photos with UZI?. Your place is virginia and my remote town in India grows virginina tobacco. Is there tobacco business in your state?

Guest		17-Jun-2003 15:32
Wonderful galleries! I especially like the Williamsburg & Jamestown Island photos--you've done a great job capturing the beauty in the area you live. Also I wanted to thank you for your generosty in sharing how you made your stylesheets. It's helped me tremendously! thanks again! stella

Guest		17-Mar-2003 17:38
Wonderful photographs! Very well composed and thought out. The colors are outstanding. You have a very good eye and talent at this!

Guest		22-Dec-2002 13:48
What a beautiful style sheet for your galleries! It seems as thought you can almost "feel" the texture of the snowflakes. Beautiful photographs...

Francis Toussaint		27-Oct-2002 14:37
Beautiful galleries... I wish to thank you for the inspiration and more particularly, for your excellent guide on how to customize PBase. I immediately used some of your recipes, and it worked great. Many thanks again francis
