I love CY's style of photography. It's so very her, I think it's a real sign of confident photography to be recogniseable from a thumbnail. I particularly enjoy her portraiture shots of her beautiful girls as well as he simple but striking still lifes. Love her photostream and her sense of humour. Lily x

Carmen charity shots always bring home the cause and are very thought provoking. I love her photostream as it is a window into her life and he children's shots are alway fab and capture the moment.
Carmen's Year has a fabulous photostream that's well worth a look. Her composition is always spot on, and I love the variety that she manages to bring, always without compromising on the quality of her shots. Fabulous - really inspiring!

Read lessCarmen's Year has a great eye for composition - her landscapes always draw the eye (and the seascapes make me a bit homesick!) Her photostream is always interesting viewing and she's a really helpful, friendly member of our HPAD community.

Read lessI love the tones the Carmen's Year achieves in her work. They have a real vintage feel that reminds you of looking though old photo albums, very evocative.
Carmen's Year has said a handful of times that she thinks my style and hers are similar and I'm incredibly flattered by the comparison! Her shots are beautiful, stylish, quirky and charming in equal measure. She's a very talented lady and I feel very lucky to 'know' her through flickr.
I always enjoy seeing CY's uploads - we live in the same part of the country and she always finds ways to showcase our beautiful landscapes in new and interesting ways.

And her shots are awesome too. I'm so jealous of the beautiful part of the country she lives in and she captures it so well. The wave on the pier was an outstanding shot! I always look forward to seeing your shots CY :)
Read lessCarmen's Year has a keen eye for composition and her shots of her child and her landscape shots really shine. She has a knack for seeing a particular way light is shining, or the weather is turning and can really capture this in her pictures.
I am lucky to have met and been inspired by the lovely Carmen's Year. Her photos are beautiful - but then she has the advantage of having a very photogenic daughter and living near a beautfiul part of the North East coast!
Apart from the fact that CY is Geordie I really love her work. She perfectly captures landscapes and especially beach shots. Juxtaposed to her serene landscapes she also takes some edgy urban shots. Her shots of her daughter are fabulous combing arty and traditional. CY rocks.
Carmen's photos are always an inspiration to me, I love how she views life around her, and still manages to be an active member of HPAD despite looking after her beautiful little girl & working. More importantly, she's great fun, and travelled 300 for lunch!
I love CY's pictures, I always look out for them and am never disappointed! We have daughters the same age and I'm always in awe of the lovely shots she captures of her daughter (including those walking away from camera ones!), as well as the fun and interesting things she comes up with each day.

Read lessI always look out for Carmen's photos, especially the ones of her gorgeous little girl. CY is a lovely, generous person and her personality shines through in her photos, which are beautiful. They never look over-processed, but simple and gorgeous.
Carmen is just lovely and so are her photos. They're insightful and beautiful. I've loved sharing the past year of PAD with her, and am now looking foward to 2009!
CY's photos pick out the beautiful in the everyday. I love her use of light and colour, and her orignal, fun portraits of her little daughter.
I love CY's stream. Her pictures of her beautiful girl are wonderful. I'm looking forward to more fabulous stuff from her in 2009! Plus, every time I see Mel C I think of her ;o)
Great photographer who has always got the eye for a good photos. An inspiration to photo a day and always happy to lend a hand to those of us who aren't quite as natural shall we say!
CY has an amazing eye for that shot that others miss. He eye for colour is fantastic and I love her photostream.
Since joining the HPAD group at the start of January 2008, Carmen's Year has taken some fantastic shots, many involving her gorgeous daughter. She has a real eye for colour and design. Fab person and contributes to the group frequently wit comments and opinions.
I adore Carmen's Year's photographs. She has a gorgeous eye for detail and I do particularly love her toddler-walking-away shots - inspiring! She is also utterly lovely and has become a good friend over the past year. Mwah xx
The world 'Carmen's year' captures, is a world I want to be a part of, it is magical and so beautiful. Even the everyday mundane things, she can make look special. I always look forward to seeing her uploads, she likes what she likes, and I like it too.
