My photography has been showcased on Blog Guelph today and I'm walking around in a windy corn field stunned by the generous way in which Paula Russell describes my work. It's an awesome feeling when someone as talented at Russell writes about your images and lets you know the feeling they conjure.When people start taking notice of your work, you're both overwhelmed and humbled - it's a good feeling when your work touches others and makes them feel something. So, thank you Paula Russell - you're an inspiration to many!

I would like to introduce many of you to CAFREL/Francesca Carrer's photostream. She might be relatively new on the Guelph Flickr scene, but she has sure hit it with a bang. I am not as familiar with Francesca's work as I am with many other photographers, but her work sure made an incredible first impression! She has such a pervasive calmness to her images. She clearly distills and quiets her scenes down to focus on a single element or feeling. I find that when I am looking at her images it is not so much that she has frozen a moment in time for the subject, but more that she has frozen both the viewer and the subject together. That stillness she finds in so many subjects and translates so well to her images is both palpable and communicable. My morning is certainly calmer for it. Her stream is peppered with some beautiful isolations, emotive landscapes, and mouth watering food and coffee. I would highly recommend sitting down and looking through her stream, but would suggest have you lunch or a coffee first, otherwise your afternoon will likely be lost. So welcome Francesca, I look forward to following your stream.
Hope you are all having an enjoyable week,
Paula Russell
