Colleen is a gift. She does what few others can, so look closely and she will show you things you haven't seen but only thought.

Collen brings a very unique style to her work. Her skills as a photographer truly shine as she creates images that range from very bright and vibrant color to high and low key black and whites. Her ability to create an emotion or mood in a shot is something you don't see every day.

Colleen's photographs are like a movie, film noir in mood, style, point-of-view, or tone, although this would pigeonhole her unique take, her modern slant. Suffice it to say Colleen is one of a kind and I return to her Flickr page often, seeking inspiration.

I have deep admiration for Colleen. The sensual nature of her well-composed images influence artists like myself to communicate with viewers on many intricate levels. I immediately became captivated with her photostream and am grateful to maintain communication with such a wonderfully talented woman.

Colleen, in one way is like many talented photographers; her photos are passionate, deeply so. What makes her unique is the heart-melting spirituality she embraces with her lens. With an artistic intensity bordering on the mystical, if not magical, her photos will haunt you long after you view them. Flashing into… Read more

Colleen, in one way is like many talented photographers; her photos are passionate, deeply so. What makes her unique is the heart-melting spirituality she embraces with her lens. With an artistic intensity bordering on the mystical, if not magical, her photos will haunt you long after you view them. Flashing into your imagination at the oddest of times, they beckon you again and again; offering a new perspective and a fresh set of feelings each time. Oh yeah, Porkchop and Lulu are HILARIOUS!

What is so incredible to me is that one person is both so interested and talented at shooting fuzzy animals and gaunt models at bowling alleys. Surreal, humorous and always fascinating.

Colleen's work is so different than all the others, definitely not cliche...I find myself intrigued by the results she gets from her shutter, glass and film. I love her ability to capture things I would never have seen before. Her comments are always heart warming. What a great online friend she is! If she wasn't taken… Read more

Colleen's work is some of the best around on Flickr. Each image can stand on its own, and often times her sets are spectacular. She has a way of looking at the world around her that is unique to her.

Colleen's work is some of the best around on Flickr. Each image can stand on its own, and often times her sets are spectacular. She has a way of looking at the world around her that is unique to her. Although I do not know her in “real life,” you get the sense that each image is personal to her. It is quite refreshing as well as inspiring. If you are reading this, I encourage you to take the time to look at her entire photostream. It is just brilliant.

Painterly, mystical and a muse, Colleen's photos evoke a mysterious ephemeral aura within each exposed frame of film. From the softest most delicate portraits to the Early Germanic expressionistic harshness of shadows and light, each image is a universe onto itself. Each image is a universe waiting to be discovered and… Read more

Colleen has, by far, the awesomest sets of pictures I've come across on Flickr. As corny as my sentiment is, I must say her inner beauty shines through from each photo. She has a very keen eye for moments that most people miss. And her knack for composition is superb. You must see her shots of her pets, which often eli… Read more

She has a very keen eye for moments that most people miss. And her knack for composition is superb. You must see her shots of her pets, which often elicits a giggle or an "Aww!" from me. Keep up the fantastic work, Colleen. ^_^

~Colleen~ is a crazy woman. That's why I felt right away that she is my virtual sistah! Her psycho dog Porkchop, possessed by a strange entity, is going to play an important part in The Excorcist 5. He doesn't need to act, so it will be really easy money for his owner. Oh, and did I mention ~Colleen~ is a very talented… Read more
