So impressive. Every time I visit your photo site I see such beauty. You are a real artist, one of the best with a camera. In looking at your photos and reading about how you took them, I learn more and more about photography. Thank you again....... Jim

Hello, my name is Ellen and I am in my second year journalism in Mechelen. Yesterday, we went to the Sahara in Lommel to take some photo's for a school assignment. Now, the problem is, we also need an interview. Could it be possible to do an interview with the person who posted this photo's? Or perhaps somebody knows anyone who would be interested in sharing an interesting story about the Sahara? Kind regards, Ellen ps: you can send me an e-mail (ellen.veyt@student.khm.be) or call me on my cell phone. (+32498 13 58 89)

Great and sensitive gallery, bravo. And a sad story. I photographed a family of muted swans with 6 cygnets and 3 of hem died (one in a wildlife center), the mother to was wounded by a fish hook and she was also in a wildlife center and is ok now. Lovely birds and a good exercise in managing difficult exposures with these white and/or black subjects. And you have my vote of course (love also all your other fine galleries, high quality work) With kind regards, Dirk

that's wonderful news Monique- the world is such a nicer place with swans to share it with. I'm so happy the little one is in good hands now. :)

Hi Cindy, today the wildlifecenter saved the little baby. Now its good to know that he has a warm place, toghetter with 4 other babyswans that also are in that center since yesterday. The moment i want to leave home to take the baby home by myself, they cald me for the rescue, well after all, we hope all the best for him! I will follow the parrents the whole winter, and give them food.

oh Monique, what a heart-wrenching story. The images are beautiful, but your narration is a testament to how few animals make it in the wild. I hope the wildlife agency is able to save the last remaining swan? As always, your photos move me, and these sweet & vulerable swan cygnets moved me to tears :(

Wonderful pics! These could be used to illustrate a children's book...The Ugly Duckling. I just love the litte ones!

Your swans, and your other galleries too, have a unique quality that vividly involves the viewer. I love swans, and have enjoyed many other galleries that feature them. But I cannot remember feeling really so involved with them. Is it an intimacy? That occurred to me when I saw the photo in another gallery of the little chipmonk, holding onto the bars of the wire mesh. You let us peer so deeply into the black swan's eye that you can almost hear her thoughts. And the cygnets appearing to stare at their reflections in the water. Just incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your work.
