Charlie is not only a brilliant photographer but also a great guy. His photos are filled with emotions. It doesn't matter if he's taking them with digital or film cameras. They're tools that help him to realise his ideas and projects. Charlie always tries to visit all of his friends and comment their photos not only with some "nice" or "great"s :). Thanks for all the encouraging words man! He also has a great taste in music, books and movies ;). Keep up your awesome work and never stop taking photos!

Not only he's a talented photographer (film or digital), he's so gentle, down-to-earth kind and caring as a person and a friend. He's someone i'd definitely introduce to my little sister - if i had one that is! Not that Charlie needs me to be his personal matchmaker - he's got so many fans !!! .. who also happen to be very pretty girls ;-)
