You have a lovely eye for how best to use light to capture the essence and texture of the subjects of your images. This image feels so gentle and calming, but primitive and secretive. Truely a pleasure to view
GrandmaKnitting
Wow! I just love the colours and the light in this. Somehow you’ve managed to make it feel so fragile and delicate at the same time.

A. JILL GAEBEL
Brendan…obviously you don’t know what an amateur photographer looks like! It’s me! I’m not a qualified judge, technically, of photography. I just know if I like and admire what I’m looking at. In my humble opinion…you have passed the stage of amateur status. Your photos are beautiful and inspiring and to be very proud of.
Themis
Superb – and I don’t use the word often!
Quinn Blackburn
Heartstoppingly beautiful… I love how the light caresses the stone and sets aglow the heart of air… stunning capture!

You have some spectacularly wonderful images young man!! You have been to quite a few places. And you have a good eye.
I especially like this one because my son just moved to Chinle, AZ which is near Page on the Navajo reservation and has sent me some beautiful photos of the area. I get to see where he lives next month and hope to return with some nice images myself. . .
