Hi Joan – Congratulations on having the number 24 most viewed Digital Art album on WebShots – Brilliant Wallpaper II. Your work is very exciting and special! I am a digital artist too, but only rank number 873 with my Nov 2007 Enhanced Photos. Please accept my friendship invitation as we share many of the same artistic ideas. Why not send me a friendship invitation? If you get some time, please take a look at what I’ve been doing. All my art starts as a normal digital photograph. But, I think you might be surprised that I do not use any special digital manipulation software to create it. I pride myself on only using the basic rudimentary tools provided with my Canon camera - ZoomBrowser. I only tweak contrast, saturation, brightness and color tone curve adjustments to achieve the desired effect. The use of ChromaDepth 3D glasses great enhances the effect. Thanks. Bright regards -- Larry

your art work entitled BEAUTY QUEEN came across unexpectedly & took my breath away as I was looking up info. on beauty queen thinking I'd come across the sumemr 1964 when I was the `1st.Jr.Miss Jamaica, then the 1st Jr. Miss AMITY then crowned the 1st Little Miss Universe, 1064` instead of seeing photos of my youth, the most exquisite colourful photo appeared on my screen & I just have to comment that this indeed is THE `Beauty Queen`.... "a thing of beauty & a joy forever" to behold..... Thanks very much, elhamfeanny@hotmail.com

said 2001.04.27 at 10:23:31 PDT

Ms Schafer, I love beauty. When I looked at your slide show, it was what I felt that touched me. Those were the most touching visions I have seen. I felt as if I was drawn inside some of them. Others made me feel emotions: love, being held, happiness, joy, family, walking the beach, being with my mother and father etc. Emotions were felt, not just the sight of pictures. Your work is magnificent. I'm glad I watched the slide show.
