I am an artist living in the Daytona Beach area. I discovered the world of digital photography in 2006, and since that time have fallen in love with it, blending art with photography, so many of my shots are not always for "purists"! I like pushing the boundaries a bit.
If you comment on my work, you will most likely get a comment in return, whenever I'm able to do so. Recently, I've made a large effort to respond in kind to those who are kind enough to pay attention to my work! If I can't, I usually let people know in my stream. The best way to receive a comment from me is to comment on one of the most recent posts in my stream, as I check those first. Otherwise, it might take a little while for me to get to you, since sometimes there are pages of comments , one at a time, on old photos, and I don't always see them. I don't slight people if I can help it, but I just can't spend all day scouring my pics to see if anyone looked at them, lol! Flickr is fun, but it can be all too consuming, and playing catch up can really take forever. Lately, I've discovered several comments that were made ages ago that I never replied to. I've tried to rectify that, but it was only because someone ELSE commented recently that I caught it. Anyway, I'm pretty much caught up, and I try to stay on top of things.
I'd like to thank all my friends on here for several years of wonderful caring, support, and encouragement, which certainly helps someone grow much more than critique and arrogance does. I think I've grown in my ability, and my art, and I like to help others do so, too. If you have any questions about how I do what I do, I'll be glad to tell you if you Flickrmail me.
One last thing....I am nearly 68 years old. I am not a hot 20 year old, even though I look pretty good in my retouched self portraits! (I'm not bad at what I do!) Please don't contact me to hit on me. I am a born again Christian, and I don't have any intentions of compromising my faith. don't even ask. I don't pose nude. I don't have any desire to do self portraits for you to lust over. I have no desire to go out with anyone on here unless he's also born again, over 40, and wants someone who loves Christ more than he wants a babe. PLEASE do not send me suggestive videos, or links to your own nude photos! I'm not interested! If you do, I will block you. That said, I DO welcome your friendship, and appreciate your respect. I only say this because I have had people do this stuff- both male AND female!
The email address listed is one I never use, so if you want to contact me, you can do so through Flickrmail. If you have a photo you'd like me to comment on, feel free to Flickrmail me the link.
Thanks!
Chris

Some take Photographs some people take Snap Shots , Chris however adds a higher level to the Photography Scene ,, at times she will take a photograph , then when she gets the urge, will "wake up" the photo , at times she will take an old Snap Shot , that most would discard , and revive it , removing the ages of fading colors . oh that old Photograph in black and white, she will turn it into color . Chris , unlike many, has an eye to see a photograph, where most would just walk past a scene ... Its my pleasure to call her My Friend

It is a joy, honor, and privilege to offer a testimonial for Chris C. Crowley. In the short time that I have been on Flickr, I have faved over 25,000 photos and have viewed hundreds of thousands more. The creativity and originality that I find in her photography is truly amazing. The gifts and abilities that she brings are exceptional. Rudolf Arnheim writes in his classic book Art and Visual Perception that the most important aspect to remember in successful photography (as well as in painting and sculpture) is when an artist has the ability "to synthesize a represented action as a whole in a way that translates the temporal sequence into a timeless pose" - thereby allowing the image to lie outside the dimension of time. Chris has the rare ability to capture complex perceptual patterns with an utmost clarity - a mark of a true artist! The authenticity she brings to the rendering of momentary expressions - whether street scenes, natural habitats, or textures - have the qualities of complete detail as well as formal precision. Her unique approach to photography is astounding and wonderful. I am deeply impressed by her intuitive and imaginative insights that are truly inspiring. I welcome this opportunity to personally thank her for all of her kind and encouraging words. Those of you who know her personally are truly blessed! I deeply admire her for her deep faith in God, her love for life, and her unending enthusiasm for all things good and beautiful. Chris is a very special person and my life has been enormously enriched through her abiding influence for which I am eternally grateful. Sincerely, David L. Grogan (Professor444)

I used to be the gatekeeper for Sugar Mill Gardens, a lovely place of course--I was sort of roaming free, but not really because a lot of people took care of me.
