CLICK HAMILTON PHOTO GALLERIES

Read, every day, something that no one else is reading.
Think, every day, something that no one else is thinking.
Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do.
It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.

--Christopher Morley (1890-1957)

You are THE BEST.

Lugh		24-Jul-2008 16:38
Mr. Hamilton, I was cruising Model Mayhem and I stumbled acrossed some of your work and that brought me here! You are an inspiration for sure! I have been busting my butt trying to figure out all of the technical photography stuff so that I can properly express my self and I see your work....Wow! I had to wipe away a tear and began thinking. (Not in photography terms) You capture more in one photo than what some photographers capture in a whole lifetime!!! I won't go through a list of adjectives to describe your work because we don't have that kind of time! Let me say that you have helped me see the light and we have never even met! I tip my hat to you and thank you for showing the world what it's all about!!! You have a new fan!!! Again, Thank you for your inspiration and keep up the wonderful work!!!

Brandon McAlister		24-Jun-2008 22:03

Mind Stimulating, thought provoking, smile mastering photos. You are so very refreshing in ideas and creation. I can only say it would be such an honor to work with you. To much in life we forget to look around and ponder anything. You sir, push the envelope and show the world a sight that leaves behind only greatness in its wake. MM#545000 It was my immense pleasure to stumble upon your greatness tonight. How gratful I am as well.

KAREN! How nice to see you here! Yes, it's true, Karen is the kind woman who delivers sumptuous Chianti, Lasagna, Linguini Pescado, hot bread and a romantic candle with her big smile at one of my favorite local Italian restaurants. Thanks for taking care of my friends and me so many times!

Kathy Jean		21-Nov-2007 19:20
I like your fresh coffee and easy smile. Seriously, you are a class act, Click. I'd like to tell you "Hi!" to your face.

Anthony Stubbs		12-Nov-2007 02:56
It's all your fault Click! My son sent me a couple of flashes this week...now I have to go outdoors and start making crazy, mad, humorous, fabulous images like yours! How the heck an I going to get my coffee now?

'Tis generous of you to share with us the glory which thyne eyes have seen.

Mikes Images - Mike #4		18-Sep-2007 20:01
In a world scarce of creativity and originality, where most could assume that "it's all been done before", your work shines as a beacon of light in the darkness, giving hope and inspiration to creative people. It's kinda humorous too....which is something else we need more of.

Vladimir Babkin		03-Aug-2007 15:50
I admire.

Charles kafka		28-Jul-2007 09:54
Some photography i look at, and later think, i could have been doing something else, some photography, (photographers) I look at, and think, I should be doing that. you fit in your own charactor, your own genre, when people start copying you, im going to get sick. I love your work. timeless.

Guest		18-Jun-2007 01:04

Robert		20-Apr-2007 01:39
I believe this is the most imaginative stuff I've ever seen in photos. You rock big time! Keep it up...

Ken Morrison		15-Apr-2007 22:17
You might as well stay awake. Nice work by the way.

Susan		15-Apr-2007 22:17

Bob Randall		07-Nov-2006 09:32
You are an enlightened person--your forum posts are provocative and fun.

Renata Brazilia		07-Nov-2006 09:31
You are a sexist person--your forum posts are embarassing and offensive.

Pamela Hunter		07-Nov-2006 09:31
Your forum comments crack me up!

Meg Babes		07-Nov-2006 09:30
I love your work. You know the difference between simply taking a picture and creating art, and you know it well.

Red in Hawaii		07-Nov-2006 09:29
You, my friend, are having too much fun. Love your creativity and the indepth imagery that addresses the old guy/young girl cultural stigma / dillema that all us GWC's face...

LHC		07-Nov-2006 09:28
click, you're my new idol! love the humor in your work. keep it up! cheers.

wonderful port. i like how your in the photos'. awesome idea.

Susi		07-Nov-2006 09:26
Your port makes me smile...nice work:-)

Click Hamilton		06-Nov-2006 00:52
Awwwwwww ... Frosty, now I want to hug you! Will you model for me?

Frosty		06-Nov-2006 00:50
Wait--something just came to me! One of the over-arching themes in your work is a sense of absurdity. You can't register these images quickly and file them away into memory by coding with well-known themes of beauty, truth (sometimes painful), or sarcasm--all are present, but none can explain them. These images appear unextraordinary for only a second, until you to move beyond the first object you see. After that, they challenge you. You can't decide what they are--you are forced to really think about them. And it is their incongruity to what you expect that gives them that power. If you are curious enough then you will be forced to contemplate them, and anything that challenges your thinking can lead to change--to growth--in yourself. And that is what I really love about them. They are, as I said, brilliant. Toodles. Again. ;)

~Frosty		05-Nov-2006 20:45
I think your work is brilliant. The images confuse, shock and/or unsettle the viewer, and challenge them in a way that few images do. Your idiosyncratic approach is quite appealing and I respect your artistry. I may never be close enough to do a shoot with you, but I definitely hope to see more of your work. Be well.

Serevende		29-Oct-2006 07:59
Your work makes me think and it makes me laugh. I can't ask more from a photograph than that. Thank you!!!

Sarah Ellis		24-Oct-2006 06:31

Dee		14-Jun-2006 01:40
Something about the man in the photos is so familiar ...

Angelinme		14-Jun-2006 01:39
I love your quirky gallery. I had to look at each twice before I left because I didn't want to feel as though I'd missed one. Great work!

Tony Chu		06-Jun-2006 03:08
Images that tell a story. I like! :)

Wynd Mulysa		06-Jun-2006 03:04
I'd love to model for you! San Diego is beautiful, but I don't think I can travel there any time soon. :0/

Maya		05-Jun-2006 23:52
I like your work and I live in San Diego. I am interested in getting any type of pictures done, nude, artistic, whatever! I am like a blank canvas and I want to be turned into art! I'm pretty much open to anything.

Katelyn		05-Jun-2006 18:01
Click, you are hilarious! I reaaly hope I get to work with you one of these days!

Click Hamilton		04-Jun-2006 03:06
Thanks Sarah. You look pretty adorable yourself. I like your portfolio. When you come to San Diego, let me give you a photo shoot. If you want me to be your tour guide, I can add more credentials to my "Odd Jobs" resume gallery. You can have the photos as souvenirs to take home with you ;-)

Sarah		04-Jun-2006 01:42
You are adorable. I'm from Ca (SF) and you remind me of home :) I'll be in San Diego in September by the way. Best,Sarah

Sarah Ellis, NY		04-Jun-2006 01:36
Finally something interesting. I saw you on a forum and had to look at your images. I think I've looked back at them three or four times since then and I'm still smiling :) Just wanted to say that.

Your Biggest Fan		14-May-2006 22:40
You are my favorite photographer, Mr Hamilton.

Jennifer		25-Apr-2006 21:45
I thought about it, and I've decided that I do want to do nude work with you. :)

ElectricPen		13-Apr-2006 14:48
Bizarre--and cool!! Lee

Eddie		12-Apr-2006 14:34
Very cool. It's like seeing a morph of Helmut Newton and Red Skelton. It's always a treat hearing from you. Keep up the great work!-Eddie

M Featherston		23-Feb-2006 20:35
Click is something else

Click Hamilton		23-Feb-2006 04:18
Haha Sabine. And your words split precisely down the middle. You're funny.

Sabine M		23-Feb-2006 04:14
I can't tell you how I love that moniker

Lewis Lam		14-Feb-2006 01:46
A real art is no boundary and is speechless! Indeed, you're the master!

Click Hamilton		11-Feb-2006 15:49
El Lobo, your words are gracious and kind ... "using emotions instead of your camera" It's a lofty goal I will remember. You inspire me to reach for this. But first, I think I would like to drink a cup of coffee, and look to see if there are birds outside in this mornings evaporating fog layer of beautiful light diffusion.

Guest		11-Feb-2006 11:42
Click, you are the real photographer, using your emotions instead of your camera. Fantastic work. I love it!!!

Rhett		31-Jan-2006 22:14
You are a master image maker.I love your work.

greetings from UK		30-Jan-2006 20:20
CLICK HAMILTON, you're an absolute fucking GENIUS. my head is reeling. i'm so excited and alive and inspired! when i come to san diego (which may well be in the very near future), can i meet and shoot with you?! can i be click's anonymous friend who will only appear in photos if she's facing away from the camera?!! you are full of some tremendous ideas. i am in awe of your talent.

Kal Khogali		30-Jan-2006 00:36
Click..that fraction of second, that lasts an eternity....forever remembered, and reminded. This is only the start of the story ;-)) K

Jay D		27-Jan-2006 18:48
I think you are among the few real masters in the photo world. All your images are beyond words.
