Almost everyday, I visit Chris' page with a cup of coffee. . . all these images are good for the soul and make me feel refreshed. Color tones, face expressions and the story inside each photo take me to the east and I travel everyday to the other part of the world with Chris. No words can tell how much I enjoy these short trips and how lovely to be there at the time each photo is taken. This is ' how ' Chris' photography makes me feel.

Her work deeply inspires me, not just as a photographer but also as a person. It seems she can reduce what is captured by her camera, down to it's bare essentials. This simplistic style is not only VERY visually appealing but it also allows the viewer to spark his or her own imagination and create the story that goes along with the image. Chris is an amazing photographer and an amazing person, I'm one of her biggest fans! Thank you Chris, for sharing the beauty of your world with us!!!

Her images always seem to tell a story, stories that grab your attention and won't let you go. What a kind spirit she is and a definite asset to Flickrland!
