Quotation of the week

 

"My art flatters nobody by imitation; it courts nobody by smoothness; it tickles nobody by petiteness; it is without either faldelal or fiddlededee; how then can I hope to be popular?"

Unbelievable. I know Alpine for quite some time now, and as long as I've known him I've admired his photography, his wicked sense of humour and of course the passion for a good adventure, so how come up until now I haven't put into words my thoughts about this talented guy?? So here it is. Indeed, Alpine (not his re… Read more

Unbelievable. I know Alpine for quite some time now, and as long as I've known him I've admired his photography, his wicked sense of humour and of course the passion for a good adventure, so how come up until now I haven't put into words my thoughts about this talented guy?? So here it is. Indeed, Alpine (not his real name) is one of the most talented photographers on Flickr, specialising in mountain photography although on occasion I do find some wildlife shots in his vast photostream. But apart from being a brilliant photographer he is also a great explorer, writer and (I bet) a lovely chap to have a pint of beer with. Sorry this testimonial is a bit late, but as they say 'better later than never'. So keep clicking and sharing those beauties with us.

Of all the flickr contacts i have the captain is the one I'd like to be. Such wonderful mountain shots and so obviously at home in his environment!

The Captain takes me to places where I can only dream about. His pictures are a reminder that God is great! and that he can move any mountain in our lives. It's God's beautiful creation and the Captain captures it well.

I absolutely love Captain Interesting's photography! He makes such a huge effort climbing these crazy peaks just to give us a photograph or two - such commitment and dedication to the cause! :) Thanks for all the adventures and the stunning scenery!

A "Captain" is the "head" of his soldiers, and his duty is to lead them to big achievements. Captain Interesting leads whoever wants to follow him onto the tops of the mountains of this world, with inspirational landascapes and detail pictures. Although lately he developed a special Kubrickian interest in a monolitic anti-hero ... but the landscapes are still breath taking! So take a deep breath and then ... plunge into his world!

Captain Interesting has definitely good eye for photography! It is always a big pleasure to go with him for a tour to mountains, no doubt, he will spot the best place for making pictures! Like his enthusiasm, inspiration and style, though is old fashion - having film camera ;) he knows his value! Good luck Captain!

Like most superheroes, Captain Interesting lives a double life. Little would the unsuspecting citizens of his adopted town believe that this humble clerk, shyly shuffling along the gold-paved streets, eyes averted, is instantly transformed into the mighty CAPTAIN INTERESTING simply by picking up his trusty Olympus OM. Refusing no mission, however risky or life-threatening, the good captain ventures out into the wildest of wildernesses to bring back vertigo-inducing images of startling clarity. Declining the trappings of the digital lifestyle, he relies on the magic of film to capture these moments and mementoes for all of us to share. Oh, and he has a pretty good eye for the decisive moment, and a somewhat pythonesque sense of the absurd. Add Captain Interesting to your favorites (or indeed "favourites") today. You know it makes sense.
