A gentleman, a writer, an artist, an absolute rare gem. If it were at all possible to sum up the witty and eloquent Chatwick Harpax he is at the very least these things.

A gentleman, a writer, an artist, an absolute rare gem. If it were at all possible to sum up the witty and eloquent Chatwick Harpax he is at the very least these things. But I think there is so much more to this story teller and we are so very fortunate to have a glimpse here within the flickr community to which he is an absolute asset.

Long, long overdue…these few words of testimony and appreciation for Chatwick Harpax, man of compelling tales, beautiful words and dito imagery. Man, also, of modesty, civilness and generosity.

Long, long overdue…these few words of testimony and appreciation for Chatwick Harpax, man of compelling tales, beautiful words and dito imagery. Man, also, of modesty, civilness and generosity. Man of unbridled energy when it comes to his many groups on Flickr; few put in the work Chatwick does in order to keep things running nicely and smoothly. Which sometimes is simply undoable… We go back a long time, Chatwick and me and I have come to know him as a wise, talented and honorable friend. Thank you, Chatwick Harpax, friend and raconteur par excellence, for inducing me to write that last line especially. Oh and ehh….lay off the diamonds, willyah?

Chatwick Harpax thank you very much for your comment to me, I see that you see beyond what many people can do, you are very observant and I love it, and of course ... as you will not be obrservator if I just discovered that you write, you know translate on paper, everything you see, feel, and breathe .. and it envelops… Read more

Chatwick Harpax thank you very much for your comment to me, I see that you see beyond what many people can do, you are very observant and I love it, and of course ... as you will not be obrservator if I just discovered that you write, you know translate on paper, everything you see, feel, and breathe .. and it envelops you, it is a gift to be able to transmit through your fingers (and I visualize you), I think also through the gestures that are sure to accompany you. You surprised me with your comment and generosity in your words, I did not expect anything like that, sometimes you think that these things do not happen, but yes, to me yes, it happened to me because there was Chatwick looking at me closely and I unknowingly .. . From now on I will try to put some jewel for you Thank you very much again, it has made me feel very good and helps me to continue in the moments that my real life leaves me free Greetings Mr. Harpax

When I think of Chatwick Harpax and how I would describe him two words come to mind, well three I suppose, a gentleman thief. :) If you look the definition up you will see it describes a charismatic gentleman thief who is most often wealthy. Mr. Harpax is very well spoken, kind, charming, has impecable manners and avoids the use of force and threats, he has no need for such things. :) It is my opinion that any jewels he takes would be for the thrill of it and not for the wealth. :) And since the targets are generally wealthy can we not overlook these minor indiscretions. Besides he shared his company and I am quite sure the lady loved every moment of it before she gave up those jewels. :) Okay, I admit this is the character I choose to think of when I see his name. In real Flickr fashion this is a man who is very supportive and complimentary. He has always given me and many more support and because I do hold him in such high regards it is very fulfilling to receive his comments. He is always wonderful in his own writings and images he creates, they so perfectly with the stories. I do enjoy his creativity. It was his works that got me so interested in this flickr genre. So, thank you Chatwick. I think you are truly amazing. :)

Chatwick is a most talented artist who really has a way with words, reeling the reader in with his incredible eye for detail while making one feel as if one were right smack in the middle of all of the action! His writing is seemingly effortless and sparkles with as much life as the eye candy in his jewelry heist tales does. The beautiful and often mysterious images perfectly complement his prose. Chatwick's storytelling is very stylish and tantalizing, with many an unexpected twist and turn. He also has a real knack for making one root for the dashing main characters, even if they are not necessarily on the up and up. But most importantly of all, Chatwick is one of the most generous people I have met on Flickr. He is incredibly supportive of the work of others and always takes the time to give very thoughtful, insightful and kind feedback.

Chatwick's work is outstanding and should be followed and examined on its own merits. That being said Chatwick's other work is not as obvious as his images but they are as equally important to me He is very supportive or other artist and as much as we get tied up in our own views it is so wonderful when Chatwick com… Read more

Si l'on parle des voleurs de bijou et des photos qui les accompagnent, je recommanderais vivement ce ruisseau de ruisseaux, avec un assez grand nombre de voleurs, certains avec un code d'éthique moralement assez intéressant. If one is into tales about jewel thieves, and the photos that accompany them, Then I would highly recommend this most rapscallionsistic of streams, with a rather lengthy cast of villains, some with a rather interestingly moralistic code of ethics.

Excerpt for correspondence.... Let there be light, My Good Sir, Such as it is in a world post Edison and Tesla that we expect to be instantly illuminated when we merely think it should be so.

Excerpt for correspondence.... Let there be light, My Good Sir, Such as it is in a world post Edison and Tesla that we expect to be instantly illuminated when we merely think it should be so. However, while perhaps I feel illuminated, I have continued to stumble in the dark (perhaps it tis my three drinks to your starting the first). Thus when light does begin to appear thru a crack in some facade, it slowly grows from darkness to an expanding dawn. So it has been with words and stories and creative endeavors. Sir I had admired the crafted pictures in your photostream and had scrolled down many. Many a stage was set both with an eye to material vulnerability as well as physical (and emotional?). The creator of all these visions clearly has a message to deliver it seems. Ah, but there is this problem of being Obtuse. Sir, I have even read your profile, not once but several times, to better have illumination of the good man to whom this correspondence is addressed. Still in my darkness I found references to writings that reflect many desires and passions, perhaps real, perhaps fantasy, or perhaps a rich blend from a creative and living mind. But Sir, I am the subject of Obtuse. It is I who has been stumbling in the dark. Thus when I began to examine the photos in more detail the light shown through this crack, through this crack of a door, through this door that was then flung open. Ah, now I better understand and admire. So Sir, I bow to you on so many levels. Clearly you are a prodigious author of many thoughts and stories and dreams (wishes and desires?). These thoughts, stories, and desires will be savored as appropriate readings. Each to be enjoyed without hurry to the next. The other item Sir, is that as a man of your heritage, you celebrate much about where you have called home as well as connections to your past. Many fail to see the richness of this. It isn't just to honor the road traveled but to realize that to some degree, to quote a malaligned author, “we are our history”. Thus you seem to celebrate this in life. It isn't that you seem to be broadcasting it but rather you have this weave of fabric in the creation of these worlds that reflect this road traveled in your history. Cheers Sir on this accomplishment. So there is light on this side of the pond, dim but growing. Let there be light ..... Stephen

please allow me to write a testimonial to this great Flickr stream and the generous artist to whom it belongs. Each picture is a story unto itself and each picture is a part of a story written with a touch of dark humour reminiscent of a Dashiell Hammett or a Spillane. The ghost of Bogie hovers over nightclub and alleyway,- and occasionally Bram Stoker or Poe. The stuff of delicious and atmospheric decadence- and film noir!
