I am somewhere between normalcy and madness, tall, and always in the mood of tasting chocolate & sushi ! :-) I also like the way summer sounds in the country very late at night and the way winter smells on very cold clear days. ( sounds soft, I know :-)

Since I know Monique's stream, I've always liked her "magic" eye, this artistic look on the world and people. But now, she's added to this essential quality an amazing post-treatment knowledge. She knows the secrets of black and white and colored photos ; she knows what to do to add this little something that makes the difference between a nice shot and a great photography... But what I like the most in her stream is her humour ! Happy shots, funny shots, smiles, again and again... Always a pleasure. Thanks for sharing your beautifull art ! Vincent
Read lessI really like the eye you have and the pictures you took. They 'talk' to me. They are soft, nice, with a special atmosphere !

I mean, so good photographer as she shows in their photos ☺ What I like the most in Monique's style is the way she feels the street life and how she makes ordinary become extraordinary. Keep on sharing your heart Monique!

Ze is inspirerend en heeft het verkeerde beroep gekozen door op kantoor te werken en is daardoor een laatbloeier (niet slaan Niek..!).

Keep your dictionary with this comment; Dutch-English Monique is wat mij betreft de beste autodidact fotografe die ik ken. Ze is inspirerend en heeft het verkeerde beroep gekozen door op kantoor te werken en is daardoor een laatbloeier (niet slaan Niek..!). Haar naam onder foto´s is niet meer nodig....ik herken haar afdrukken uit duizenden anderen. Wat mij betreft gaat het niet om de inhoud van een foto maar hoe ze gemaakt worden. Een eerlijker oordeel over foto´s bestaat niet. Naast mijn vrouw; mijn beste soulmate, beiden Kreeft en nog op de zelfde dag jarig. Het moest zo zijn......

Monique is such a great friend and such an outstanding photographer that I feel privileged in considering myself a friend of her. I first met her -and this is our most frequent link- through the 3WChallenge group: what a discovery! Her keen sense of minimalism, her amazing b/w shots, her deep reds! Watching Monique's photostream is a delight - and a clear and bright inspiration. Thanks for being here in Flick (life is nicer like this!)
Read lessNot a lot of photographers can master both Black and White and colour expositions. Monique can master both, even with a cellphone camera. A _must_ on flickr!
This Monique, is a desperate (house?)wife who can take great pictures just by pushing the button. She hopes that men should have the same simple buttons too I guess. Life would be much more easier then wouldn't it? But above all.. she's the best friend you can ever wish..
Peaceful composition combined with either subtle colors or B&W tells me, that not only does Monique have a passion for photography, she also has a good eye and skills to capture things around us all in a very beautiful and stylish way. A photostream definitely worth browsing through.
