The first thing that I like about this guy is that he's not just taking pictures man - he's shakin your soul and mind with his vision of life around him/me/you/us in it's simplicity and fragmentariness.. The second and VERY important is his sense of humor...and as Woody Allen said “...being funny is not anyone's first… Read more

The first thing that I like about this guy is that he's not just taking pictures man - he's shakin your soul and mind with his vision of life around him/me/you/us in it's simplicity and fragmentariness.. The second and VERY important is his sense of humor...and as Woody Allen said “...being funny is not anyone's first choice.” and if you spend some time watching his gallery you'll understand why I used this quote and why I respect this man so much! :)

Andre's special gift is the ability to see things that others can't see. His work is in this sense an instruction manual for looking. As with all true artists, the more closely you look into his work, the more you will find yourself looking into yourself and discovering things that Andre taught you to see there. We … Read more

Andre's special gift is the ability to see things that others can't see. His work is in this sense an instruction manual for looking. As with all true artists, the more closely you look into his work, the more you will find yourself looking into yourself and discovering things that Andre taught you to see there. We are all very fortunate in that his natural gift of vision is complemented by another peculiar set of skills: he appears to have been born with an almost robotic aptitude for order and alignment, with an auto-mechanic's passion for the meticulous and methodical tidiness of the machinery of photography, and all its various tools and components and calibrations and technical considerations. I have always been content with whatever it is that I do with cameras, but Andre does make me wish I were a photographer.

Quisiera escribir sobre Andre, describir su trabajo, hacer palabras los que sus imágenes generan... pero sería simplemente ridículo: Esas avasalladoras atmósferas, la implacable ausencia a la que el se enfrenta, su forma de ver a la ciudad y la soledad a la que ésta le condena... No quiero intentar hablar sobre lo q… Read more

Quisiera escribir sobre Andre, describir su trabajo, hacer palabras los que sus imágenes generan... pero sería simplemente ridículo: Esas avasalladoras atmósferas, la implacable ausencia a la que el se enfrenta, su forma de ver a la ciudad y la soledad a la que ésta le condena... No quiero intentar hablar sobre lo que no debe decirse, quiero simplemente decir que, solo unas pocas veces en la vida, uno puede encontrar tal sensibilidad, talento y amabilidad en la misma persona. Te deseo lo mejor, mi amigo

I guess Andre was one of my first veryvery interesting contacts in flickr and I've followed his work with pleasure and surprise. Now there's been a change. What used to be 'great' and 'fantastic' simply wont translate into words anymore. I feel I'm looking at an uncovered soul when I look at his work now. And what cou… Read more

I guess Andre was one of my first veryvery interesting contacts in flickr and I've followed his work with pleasure and surprise. Now there's been a change. What used to be 'great' and 'fantastic' simply wont translate into words anymore. I feel I'm looking at an uncovered soul when I look at his work now. And what could be said about that? (No comment :) It's almost like something rolled into it's place. A purpose for an open space. I love it. Keep rollin' captain! Anne x

Andre... An artist with an exquisite vision, a manner of capturing the paradoxes, the bliss, and the frustrations that are central to the human experience, with a distinct and personal and multi-dimensional style. There are so many adjectives I could use to describe the effect that Andre's art has on my mind and … Read more

Andre... An artist with an exquisite vision, a manner of capturing the paradoxes, the bliss, and the frustrations that are central to the human experience, with a distinct and personal and multi-dimensional style. There are so many adjectives I could use to describe the effect that Andre's art has on my mind and my mood and my own creative endeavors...but no amount of words could suffice--you have to witness for yourself what brilliance and beauty and humanity vibrate throughout his photography. You'll wanna hug him.

Not that this man needs any testimonial from me, but I must do what I am compelled to do. Here you will find treasured glimses into the soul of a man who is able to capture the everyday moments of life so often hidden in the dark.

Not that this man needs any testimonial from me, but I must do what I am compelled to do. Here you will find treasured glimses into the soul of a man who is able to capture the everyday moments of life so often hidden in the dark. With the use of the photographic techniques of the masters. he uses film grain, lighting and composition to create very gritty emotional images that feel as raw as a fresh wound after being dragged along the ground when your motorcycle dumps you!!!!!!!!! His ability to create the special moments with a model is hard enough, but to use himself and then to put these wonderful images together without looking thru the viewfinder is fantastic. His talent is not limited to the self-portrait, his vision extends to everything and anything within sight or imagination! Come and swim with use as Andre shouts, last one into the pool has to turn out the lights!!!!!!!! Thank you again for sharing your wonderful artistic talent, the chance to glimse into the secrets of you as you let the door open just a crack with each of your photos.

I don't even remember how I found Andre's photostream, but now I can't imagine logging onto Flickr without checking it. He has an amazing gift for turning the most simple things around him into stunning works of art. His phenomenally good eye and his talent in processing his photos continually awe me. He's a constant… Read more

I don't even remember how I found Andre's photostream, but now I can't imagine logging onto Flickr without checking it. He has an amazing gift for turning the most simple things around him into stunning works of art. His phenomenally good eye and his talent in processing his photos continually awe me. He's a constant source of inspiration for me. I feel ridiculous because I end up turning all of his photos into favorites, but when you see something that good, you are compelled to respond. The most refreshing thing about Andre is that he's so generous with his comments and encouragement. To me, that's a true artist. I am proud to call him a Flickr friend.

"The depth of your art is as touching as the depth of your heart." - Angry Lawn Gnome commented on one of andreboxbox' creations. Couldn't agree more! Beautiful in the extreme - from inside and out - it is always a pleasure to come back to these pages. Daring and deeply inspirational it is a joy to watch the developments from the start and to the end of this gifted artist - with a unique eye for the beauty of simplicity - with a sensivity in the selfportraits that is outstanding, and a willingness to share his emotions, that is able to cause a tremble in the heart. Sit back and enjoy - like I've done so many times!
