You speak English better than I do. It kind of creeps me out Wink/Razz hehe Thanks for all the favorites and comments you left on my gallery. I really appreciate it.

Your gallery is unique to me because to my unschooled eye, I see mostly subject matter and the technical stuff is beyond me. So when I looked through your gallery, at first I saw a lot of "Look, we are alternative and we took some pictures" photos. But as I started clicking on them and looking at them more, I felt that a lot of what you did was unique and put its ancestors to shame.

I usually do not add photographers, but I think I might want to watch you. You are one of two on my list, interestingly enough both from Sweden (and sort of near one another).

caltha In reply to pussinboots [2004-06-12 11:39:12 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you made an exception for me, since I'm the other way around, I usually don't look at, well, anything but photography, but I like your work. Or perhaps I like your general philosophy and ideas behind it even more than your actual drawings. Or, well, yeah, your style, simply. Your first impression gives me the creeps though, I want to be a good photographer, "alternative" of course, no sexy babes with pinkish skin in bikinis or sunsets or bugs, but definitely not one among the "depicting goth babes with a cheap digicam" or whatever you meant by "we are alternative"...

pussinboots In reply to caltha [2004-06-12 11:59:13 +0000 UTC]

Haha, fortunately the first impression did not last long at all ;) (Wink) If it had I never would have added you! I think that was my problem with perception more than anything about your art itself--it might have just been what I was expecting, since DA is so full of it. (As I am sure you know, looking at the rant in your journal!)

When I move over there *crossing fingers* I want you to take pictures of me, assuming I am pretty enough to be on the other end of your camera Wink/Razz hehe I never let people take pictures of me unless I find something really magical about the idea behind the shoot, and I have wanted to do fairy tales forever... So I am very upset that you will probably finish those projects before I have a chance to audition for Puss In Boots ;) (Wink)

Okay I will stop cluttering your main page with my babble now -_-

caltha In reply to pussinboots [2004-06-12 12:21:17 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I know I know... It's hard to find anything worth watching around here, but I have managed to get a fairly long watchlist and huge favourite gallery after all...
Sure, I'd let you model for me. The role as pussinboots is occupied (by the lovely ) but I could do it over again, or perhaps without the story, just you posing as pussinboots. So, is moving to Sweden some serious plan you have or just a very distant dream? Oh, and who's the other Swedish photographer you watch? Minnaloushe? (I watch her for her drawing skills) Lostgirl? I can strongly recommend my sister as another Swedish photographer.
Clutter ahead, I certainly don't mind.

pussinboots In reply to caltha [2004-06-12 19:39:55 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I watch Wink/Razz I am really good friends with she and , and as well. I am coming to visit next Christmas and see what I think before I actually decide whether to move or not, but I am so embarrassed to live here that even if I do not choose Sweden I am pretty sure I will be going soon. Living in the country that the rest of the world hates is a really creepy feeling 0_o hehe

I will go look at Sanna and your sister! :) (Smile)
