Testimonials

Laura ne nous publie plus ses belles photos, elle ne nous ballade plus à travers l'Europe. Studieuse, grande travailleuse, elle s'accroche avec raison à ses études, "on ne peut faire bien qu'une chose à la fois" ! Merry Christmas Laura, et nous te soutenons encore dans ton travail l'année prochaine .

I appreciate the work of Laura for simple reasons : I like the expression of her sensibility in front of the color blue: this cold color offers such a depth to any things which it gives to see. I appreciate her ease to raise eyes and to show us unknown universes by our lives of everyday. I like also her glance: she… Read more

I appreciate the work of Laura for simple reasons : I like the expression of her sensibility in front of the color blue: this cold color offers such a depth to any things which it gives to see. I appreciate her ease to raise eyes and to show us unknown universes by our lives of everyday. I like also her glance: she manages to get details which escape us. Bravo Lau.

Laura is THE supreme crazy gal! One of my very first and best Flickr buddys. Having been lucky enough to meet her in the 'WOF', I can promise you that she is even lovelier and sweeter than you can ever imagine. Laura has the craziest sense of humours - but there is so much more to my dearest Lau... she is a true star, … Read more

Laura is THE supreme crazy gal! One of my very first and best Flickr buddys. Having been lucky enough to meet her in the 'WOF', I can promise you that she is even lovelier and sweeter than you can ever imagine. Laura has the craziest sense of humours - but there is so much more to my dearest Lau... she is a true star, a shining light and I miss her every day since the 'WOF' took her away from me. Her work is inspired, beautiful, original and creative - and just ever so slightly off the wall. To know Laura is to know happiness and to know a true friend. Hugs for my Lau. Love X

Now it must be my turn to write Lau a testimonial! Met her at John's shortly after I joined Flickr, where she had a good time together with Carla and John!

Now it must be my turn to write Lau a testimonial! Met her at John's shortly after I joined Flickr, where she had a good time together with Carla and John! I wondered what was going on, it looked really strange! But I got used to all the bonkers stuff and came to like it! Lau takes wonderful pics, nothing is too big or small, to catch her attention. Beautiful cathedrals, lovely snowy Norwegian landscapes, the Thames, her friends, food and drink, she shoots them all! The way she enjoys the world shines through in the way she takes her pics. Lau is a great friend! It is such a pleasure to be around her, she is so considerate, caring, and loving, and her comments are both funny and nice. And nobody can find that many strange faces in a pic as she can!

I've no idea how or when I came into contact with Laura's photostream but ever since then her pictures have been a ray of light colouring my world . Her pictures get better and better in quality and more and more diverse in content but all the way through they carry the same idea of sharing what she sees. Of the thousands of pictures on flickr Laura's the person that's taken the most memorable shot I've seen. It's an honor that she counts me as a friend. Thanks Lau :)

Laura's captures are beautiful and thoughtful. Not only is she talented, she lets all of us glimpse her life through the lens of her camera. She's such a sweet person and a kindred soul. I love her versatility and perspective on so many different subjects. You are simply wonderful, Laura :)

Once you meet Laura, you enter the magical mystery tour !!! Be ready to know the most fascinating story teller in Flickr ! No matter what your pictures show , she always arrange things in such a way they turn to be special ! ( if not they become part of some fairy tale !! ) I've been travelling a lot with her to the most terrific landscapes on Earth just because her eye easily turns the common into fabulous ! Laura is a rare mischievous and brilliant mind ! I would say Da Vinci would have loved to have had her by his side...:) ... yes, she also has that kind of imagination that leads to uniqueness ... And she's unique ! read the comments she writes ! Thanks so much, Laura, for being such a kind gentle soul... YOU ARE the FAIRY !!!!!

Met Laura randomly over Flickr. A single picture connected us. We have known each other through our pictures; How we view the world through the camera lense. We continually do so and I hope it will continue for as long as we can. Laura's work is special. She has a good eye for details and can turn the most mundane … Read more

Met Laura randomly over Flickr. A single picture connected us. We have known each other through our pictures; How we view the world through the camera lense. We continually do so and I hope it will continue for as long as we can. Laura's work is special. She has a good eye for details and can turn the most mundane of scenes into something that would capture my attention. But I don't know about her Vorgon poetry... :P

Ha detto René Burri che 'Ora che tutti conoscono tutto, bisogna scavare oltre l'attualità e proporre un punto di vista personale. Il fotografo deve diventare soprattutto autore per contrastare la generazione informatizzata.'. Ed è proprio guardando le foto di Laura che si arriva alla conclusione che nella vita non ci si guarda mai abbastanza intorno. O forse uno guarda troppo, ma tutto troppo male, e alla fine vede poco. Le sue foto, come quelle di grandi fotografi della storia, sono una risposta a chi dice che la fotografia non è un'arte, che per fotografare ci vuole solo un bell'angolino del mondo e una macchina fotografica. Laura dimostra che il soggetto di una fotografia non sta nei bei colori, o nel mare che si fotografa, o nel sorriso, ma sta nell'attimo, nei pensieri che riempiono la nostra mente mentre scattiamo quella foto. Il fotografo non è altro che un poeta di un unico pensiero, pensato solo una volta, con testimone un bel paesaggio che sorride con il suo sole, e ci guarda con due nuvoloni enormi. Paesaggio che ha solo ispirato il pensiero, e centra poco con la bellezza della foto. La bellezza nelle foto di Laura è sì anche visibile, ma penso che il più stava nella luminosità dei suoi occhi. La bravura, sta nel saperli cercare nella foto.

C'è chi fa una foto solo se il soggetto è bello, c'è chi la fa solo se è il momento giusto, c'è chi la scatta senza pensarci troppo, c'è chi fa una foto solo se ha abbastana memoria sulla scheda, ma lei no, nulla di tutto questo.

C'è chi fa una foto solo se il soggetto è bello, c'è chi la fa solo se è il momento giusto, c'è chi la scatta senza pensarci troppo, c'è chi fa una foto solo se ha abbastana memoria sulla scheda, ma lei no, nulla di tutto questo. Lei scatta le sue foto quando prova un'emozione, quando sente un brivido, quando è felice, quando vuole ricordare quel momento, ed è per questo che le sue foto, ogni singola foto che scatta, racchiude qualcosa di prezioso, un frammento della sua vita, un attimo racchiuso nella sua memoria. E ci sono foto che non solo trasmettono tutto questo, ma ti fanno sognare quel luogo e ti fanno venir voglia di... viaggiare! lei è una viaggiatrice del tempo e come tutte le vere viaggiatrici ferma il tempo con un solo click!
