Bonjour, Luc. Je voulais simplement vous informer que cette dame Bella de qui j'etais si emballe avait utilise des photos de Don Paulson et peut-etre d'autres, sans permission et sans les crediter. J'ai cause une belle petite fureur en annoncant partout ma merveilleuse "decouverte& quot;, mais j'espere que vous me pardonnerez cette gaffe. Jon.

Hello Luc Phtography is the art of seeing, and you are a master of the art. Black and white photography is such a wonderful art form. As a newcommer to Montreal, you have opened my eyes to the city Murray (Joemalone37....train photos)

Salut Luc! I write in English this time because my French isn't up to the job here. You provide valuable and interesting counterpoint in a world where affluence often gets mistaken for a virtue. Jon. P.S. I don't normally do this, but I've just wasted the morning looking at some great portraits and landscapes on somebody else's site. I think you'd enjoy them, so I'm putting in the address to one of her albums. Her other albums are good too, so good I think she must be an old pro. I should probably warn you ahead of time though, she's a bit of a Bible thumper: http://community.webshots.com/album/58431240UsydMc

Dear Luc, what a thought provoking and heartwrenching album this is....you show us that poverty and despair have no boundaries....you have presented these photos with your unique style and understanding, and I thank you for doing so....more people need to be aware of what goes on all over the world....thank you for sharing these pictures with us all..Darlene

I think this album is great - city life as it really is. I really enjoyed your newest additions, these are rare pictures. Great job!

"The Other Face Of...." is how I felt when I went to weezie5501 and saw your picture. I thought I was talking to a woman all this time. Totally caught me off guard. So funny. I really have to readjust my brain. LOL merryeb of California, USA

Dear Luc,Outstanding story through your photo essay.Talk about being nieve. I thought these things did not exist in Canada but only in the States. We always speak of Canada as being clean and caring for its people.Here in the states these scenes are commonplace (unfortunately). You have opened our eyes that poverty and decay are worldwide problems. No one should ever have to sleep in the streets.No human should ever have to suffer these indignations. Great work. Maybe some good can come from your efforts.

Dear Luc,What can I say?I feel so very sad and so must you or else you would not have told this story with your wonderful photography.I actually came into your sight to say "Hey Luc, I spent the day taking more photo's so that you could take a stroll around my garden today,it was such a lovely day!"Having happened upon this updated album of yours I feel ashamed to ask you to visit.The World and those in it are a tragic tale at times.Fight on my friend and keep talking with your photographs -a picture tells a thousand stories!Bye from Kimbolton ,New Zealand,Lynne.Tomorrow I shall LOVE my garden even more than today

Merci Luc pour tes commentaires, j'ai pas l'intention de laisser ces photos bien longtemps. Étant donné que la nature présentement est plutôt moche, j'ai voulu m'amuser un peu en exposant du matériel totalement différent de ce que je fait habituellement. Comme le titre de l'album l'indique le contenu est appelé à changer régulièrement mais certaines d'entre elles vont se retrouver dans d'autres albums. Tu peux gager que la fresque se retrouvera dans l'album Urban art entre autre. J'ai trouvé tes photos de la Gaspésie absolument merveilleuses, d'après ce que tu m'as écris tu as passé plus de temps que moi cette été mais ce qui m'as fasciné le plus c'est de voir qu'en passant au mêmes endroits chaque personne voit les choses différement et il n'y a rien de mieux que la photographie pour le démontré. Je vois ce que j'ai manqué et j'en prends note pour mon prochain passage. Je remarque que tu as fait une mise à jour sur cet album-ci mais je ne saurais identifier lesquelles, ça fait déjà un bon moment que je l'avais regardé mais une chose est sûr tu démontre un grand talent artistique par ces photos provenant dans bien des cas d'endroits ou de prises de vue qui n'auraient pas le même impact s'ils avaient étés prisent en couleurs. Continu ton bon travail, c'est super! Michel

Intriguing...!!! Great, Thank you Luc, Clara

said clarita137 2003.10.30 at 14:30:35 PST

Urban Campground just really grabbed me. As for the Graffiti, I tend to call it the "dying generation", because it will stop occuring one day, and our photos of it will be the only history of it, so we owe it to mankind to take the pictures and record it. You are doing a wonderful job of doing just that. merryeb in California, USA

said merryeb 2003.10.27 at 09:28:26 PST

Hi Luc, I still love this wonderful album of reality..very nice shots..I wonder if I could get you to look at my album of old buildings..I would love to know what needs to be changed.Links to the Past is the name..God Bless, Marianne

said bowlingranny2 2003.10.13 at 10:28:05 PDT

You created a very special atmosphere with your black and white album of Urban Decay. That's what photography is all about. I like it. Greetings from Holland, Tjebbe

said zazoo105 2003.07.19 at 09:50:16 PDT

Hi Luc! I'm sorry! It was a joke! I think it's a great shot! I totally got it!!! Thank you soooo much for your comments on my hot air balloon album!!! We're all still learning!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take care! Jane

said peonierose 2003.07.17 at 17:33:30 PDT

Hi Luc! I came by for another look:-)))) This album reminds me of old black and white movies. You have really done an excellent job. How does $1.00 sale in the East Side fit in?LOL!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful comments in Passion Blooms and Glorious Skies. I appreciate your input very much! Take care! Jane

said peonierose 2003.07.17 at 16:31:40 PDT

Bonjour Luc! C'est un travail exceptionnel!!! Tout le monde a son revers, mais je pense que ce n'est pas la décadence d'une ville! C'est la base de cet album, et tu as capturées les photos très bien!!! Toutes mes félicitations!!! J'ai été invité par Michel (nttl2k1,nttl2k2) de voir ton album! Merci et meilleurs souvenirs de la Suisse, Erik.

Hi Luc, Interesting album. Looks great in black and white. Take care, Sharon/Arizona

Love this album, great images! Kind regards Lidian!

said lidianfans 2003.07.10 at 23:57:04 PDT

Bonsoir Luc, c'est un super beau travail que tu nous propose, le fait que tu as bâti ton album en noir et blanc nous transporte dans une ambiance tout à fait mystérieuse et j'adore la façon dont tu l'as construit. Il te reste de la place pour encore 35 photos, donc fais attention à toi lorsque tu updatera cet album, je ne tiens pas à ce que tu participe malgré toi aux nouvelles de 18:00 hrs...et voir ca en "loop" aux 15 minutes à LCN. Bye et à la prochaine, Michel

said nttl2k2 2003.07.08 at 18:25:03 PDT

Great album and great composition. i know thatn this job is dangerous, but i think that urban "graffiti&qu ot; or art is a sample of actual art. Congratulation as always. Maurizio. Italy

said mauriziomalangone 2003.07.08 at 10:35:43 PDT

Hi Luc! This is a stunning display of urban decay. The choice of black and white along with your perspectives and comments emphasize the negative side of city life and human nature. Very well done! Take care! Jane

said peonierose 2003.07.08 at 09:15:20 PDT

Salut Luc!! Superbe compositions. Tu as raison le noir et blanc est vraiment adapter a cet album, ca donne une toute autre percpective et un impact tres fort au photos. Bravo!! Tres bon travail. A bientot, Chantal:-))
