Chalkie is someone I like to call a freind. The support and encouragement he leaves in his comments are what Flickr should be all about. His work is fantastic, the colour in his pictures really makes them stand out and because he lives in the same area as me, I can relate to the photos he has taken and its nice to see … Read more

Chalkie is someone I like to call a freind. The support and encouragement he leaves in his comments are what Flickr should be all about. His work is fantastic, the colour in his pictures really makes them stand out and because he lives in the same area as me, I can relate to the photos he has taken and its nice to see things I see and have taken pictures of myself from a different view point. Keep up the good work Chalkie, your one of the best.

Every person that is new to Flickr should be fortunate enough to be befriended by someone as wonderful as Chalkie. He has been a leader by example in the ways of the Flickr world. His comments can be well thought out and specific or just plain friendly and humorous-- what you would expect from a family member or frien… Read more

Every person that is new to Flickr should be fortunate enough to be befriended by someone as wonderful as Chalkie. He has been a leader by example in the ways of the Flickr world. His comments can be well thought out and specific or just plain friendly and humorous-- what you would expect from a family member or friend. Chalkie has the heart and the eye of a true master photographer. I especially love his landscapes and train "portraits." He often works at manipulating his images. When he does, he is very subtle. I am especially fond of his manipulations of sea and sky. Thank you, Chalkie!

Chalkie aka Martin and I worked together in the same office for many years and forged a friendship based on a mutual hatred for one of the bosses. Chalkie joined the Colour Circle Photo Club that I am involved in and specialised in the new (well it was new then) digital image section. Within the group he has become the father figure for explaining technogarb to us Luddites. I invested in a Babel fish many years ago, so can understand some of his explainations. Being with Chalkie is a tonic for life. He is an amusing chap, with humourus stories and a kind heart. HIs photography constantly makes me laugh.

Chalkie has a very keen photographer's "seeing eye" and consistently produces excellent, original and innovative work both in colour and in B & W. In the digital "Colour Circles" (postal) print circe we both belong to, he is not afraid to submit "experimental" work, rather than submitting "safe" images that may gener… Read more

Chalkie has a very keen photographer's "seeing eye" and consistently produces excellent, original and innovative work both in colour and in B & W. In the digital "Colour Circles" (postal) print circe we both belong to, he is not afraid to submit "experimental" work, rather than submitting "safe" images that may generally be marked higher due to their mass appeal. Chalkie is a technical expert too, and is the person I always go to for technical advice / information.
