I don't really know Elsie at all...but she is one of the main people who inspired me to pursue photography. I hope that some day, I could be able to communicate as much as she does through simple pictures. I'm kind of rambling...but Elsie is one of the best and most inspiring here on Flickr.

Whenever I see one of her pictures on the 'Contact's Recent Updates' chunk, I'm compelled to click on it - even from a tiny thumbnail, I know its going to be amazing. Her work is just brilliant, no doubt about it. Everything has a different, wonderful feel to it. I just LOVE her work.

I. Love. Elsie's. Photostream. Her's has to be one of my favorites, hands down. The way she put photographs together and how she processes them are perfect. I love seeing new photos from her, they're always so different and unique from the previous. You should probably like her work as much as I do. :)

Elsie is an insanely talented young photographer. Her photos are a throwback to everything retro, with the twist of the modern age, her photos are quirky, endearing, and always heartfelt. i have an artistic crush on Elsie... true story

tuff teal's photostream is... fucking amazing. AHAHA. yeah no one even curses on this site, so i will. but yes, the way that she puts pictures into diptychs, triptychs, etc. is the definition of perfection.

October 25, 2008

I've been talking to Elsie on myspace for a bit, before she made the amazing choice to create her own Flickr. What I really like about Elsie's photos is the emotion and creativity that is apparent in every single photograph on her stream. She made a smart decision buying Charlie too! :)

October 22, 2008
