Hello there, I have been browsing through your lovely pictures. You must be a professional photographer to get the shots you have. I've also noticed you have taken alot of your work in the TN area, my very favorite part of this country. In fact, I live in Kingsport. Ever heard of it??? Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed your work and to ask you a question. I am an email stationary creator and I want to know if you would be so kind to give me permission to use some of your photos in my creating stationary??? It would be my pleasure to make them from your gorgeous photos. If you would please, let me know about this matter. Thank you so much and May God Bless You You can email me at thorn12@charter.net. Thank you for even considering giving me that privilege Best regards, Billie Jessee

said deliadjosef 2006.06.21 at 22:45:25 PDT

Beautiful pictures; and I hate bringing up negatives (no pun intended), but a problem I find with many photographers is where they feel the need to improve on the natural appearance of waterfalls and rapids by use of some type of airbrush technique. My opinion, such retouches can ruin an otherwise gorgeous shot. Having said that however... You have many wonderful photos. The photo angles are shot with perspectives that put me in places, as if standing or crouched at the water's edge. They bring me to those times in the back woods hanging around as a kid or with my kids. Good work and Thanks!

said sjhpumpkin 2006.06.21 at 15:56:30 PDT

Very few photographers, professional or amateur, are able to capture the ‘emotional essence’ of a landscape in a photograph. It’s like attempting to capture the ‘emotional essence’ of the Grand Canyon; impossible for most mortals. Those precious few who can are genius. ANSEL ADAMS was the first. The photographer, LakeLure, is one !!!! For thirty years, I have been hiking and taking pictures in the woods of western NC around Asheville. I know, first hand, the ‘emotional essence’ of the landscapes of this area. In this album: “ Smoky Mountain Vacation 2006”, these photographs are the FIRST I HAVE EVER SEEN that capture this ‘emotional essence’ ! ! ! ! I had to ‘call in sick’ today from work. Usually, browsing the new photos on WEBshots takes me about five minutes. Enjoying these pictures captivated me for more than THREE HOURS ! ! ! ! What an AMAZING photographer ! ! ! ! THANK YOU ! ! ! ! VERY Sincerely, Chuck

<font color="#000090" > Congratulations on your very beautiful featured album. I particularly like your waterfalls and especially your images of “Looking Glass Falls” and “Dry falls”. Most times I see long exposures like these where the foliage has been severely under-exposed, but you do a particularly good job exposing for that luxuriant green foliage while not blowing out the white of the water. <font color="#b00000" > Greetings from Florida, Paul. <font color="#000090" > P.S. I guess by your other albums that you live around the Tampa Bay area. I live a little further south, in Cape Coral (but I too have a Lowry Park Zoo album). If you do live in or near the Tampa Bay area, I wish you and yours the best of luck during this hurricane season. </font>
