Amateur photographer trying to find a vision (several actually), working on being able to commit it to the screen, and generally grateful to all the flickr friends who have such amazing talent to share.
Harmonie du soir
Voici venir les temps où vibrant sur sa tige
Chaque fleur s'évapore ainsi qu'un encensoir ;
Les sons et les parfums tournent dans l'air du soir ;
Valse mélancolique et langoureux vertige !
Chaque fleur s'évapore ainsi qu'un encensoir ;
Le violon frémit comme un coeur qu'on afflige ;
Valse mélancolique et langoureux vertige !
Le ciel est triste et beau comme un grand reposoir.
Le violon frémit comme un coeur qu'on afflige,
Un coeur tendre, qui hait le néant vaste et noir !
Le ciel est triste et beau comme un grand reposoir ;
Le soleil s'est noyé dans son sang qui se fige.
Un coeur tendre, qui hait le néant vaste et noir,
Du passé lumineux recueille tout vestige !
Le soleil s'est noyé dans son sang qui se fige...
Ton souvenir en moi luit comme un ostensoir !
- Charles Baudelaire
Evening Harmony
Now is the time when trembling on its stem
Each flower fades away like incense;
Sounds and scents turn in the evening air;
A melancholy waltz, a soft and giddy dizziness!
Each flower fades away like incense;
The violin thrills like a tortured heart;
A melancholy waltz, a soft and giddy dizziness!
The sky is sad and beautiful like some great resting-place.
The violin thrills like a tortured heart,
A tender heart, hating the wide black void.
The sky is sad and beautiful like some great resting-place;
The sun drowns itself in its own clotting blood.
A tender heart, boring the wide black void,
Gathers all trace from the pellucid past.
The sun drowns itself in clotting blood.
Like the Host shines O your memory in me!

I think, there are very few people in this world, who are still able to amaze. Raphael is definitely able to truly amaze. Raphael is not just a photographer - he is a director. You are entering a mysterious world created by him while viewing his photos. That world has a special atmosphere, underlined with music. Raphael is a great friend and a very attentive person. If you become friends with him, he will never miss your new photos. He will be the one to comment first, and in a way that makes you grow wings, even if your photo leaves much to be desired. Raphael is a motivator. He appreciates the work in such an aesthetic way that you feel your next one also must correspond to such an image. Raphael is an image maker. He creates stories with his reviews. Very real ones. So real, that people believe in them. Raphael is a writer. I could continue describing his many artistic and personal qualities for much longer. But I would like to finish with the most important thing. Raphael is unique. I do not know anyone like him, even amongst the most creative people. Because he also has a great sense of humor, and that is a rare treasure.
