What others said.... "Capt. Puyo finally has a worthy successor after nearly 100 years" "You have a unique vision!" "This is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen on APUG." "This photograph is just too beautiful for words." "You should be ashamed of yourself to make such fun of the masters of old Dutch school of painters ... ....And do it so well" "Da Vinci would have approved!" "Your work is breathtaking... Would love to take a workshop once that teaches all this..." "experimentation is the foundation of art and science ..." __________________________________________________________________________________________ "It has a power When you are in it To scream much louder then words But only when One listens with the eyes wide shut" "Your photography is a visual poetry in which words are painted with light..." ________________________________________________________________________________________ "I am, as always, inspired by your work; to try something different, experiment and go to the borders of possibilities." "I want to move to Denmark" "Makes me want to be one of your models." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "In one way or another every single one of emil schildt's photographs takes my breath away! I suspect I'm not the only member of his fan club. Alright then, what's the Schildt story? How does he get to be so damn talented, why do his images soar while others in the same genre are earth bound? (I hate flower portraits, his knocked me out!) If he is too modest to answer this thread himself, please anyone chime in! (and Schildt, will you be at the APUG conference? I for one would go just to meet you; worship at your feet! ) (yeah yeah over the top praise, but, I'm that impressed!) " __________________________________________________________________________________________ "I want to make images like Schildt!" "Very dynamic seeing indeed." "If you're not living on the edge, your occupying too much space. Gandolfi's work is like that. No chance will we find him wallowing around in the middle, serving up fluffy photographs. Give him the Gold Anti-Stagnation Award!" "I am mesmerized by how he includes Alt vision in the Alt process. No matter how many acid trips I could take, I couldn't be that creative" __________________________________________________________________________________________ "if your photos could dance they'd tango under erie light." __________________________________________________________________________________________ "This hurts... Life still Still life If only a flower could be this jealous and add this much " __________________________________________________________________________________________ "the eye contact window into a human soul yours hers genuine honest direct hits square into the core of being It's really not about NUDE Is it? It is really not about FORM Although,they are big part of it They are not all but yet they are not FURNITURE Your work stirs something up inside" _________________________________________________________________________________________ "Your photographs are like compact theater pieces with great stories and motifs.." __________________________________________________________________________________________ "In times of ugliness beautiful abstract dreamy work allows an escape. I stare for a longest time at one of Emil's photographs that he just posted , a nude with a flower in place of a face , is it real ?, is it a dream ? But I can not take my eyes off it , it makes me forget that one of my friends innocent, caring, honest and smiling 19 year old son that went to Iraq as a Marine came back a fully grown inner invalid , if he saw this photograph I think that he would forget his issues as well..." __________________________________________________________________________________________ "You, sir ,create your own reality. This reality allows for an escape , escape to a world of dreams, dreams that are full of beauty , but not sweet and mellow and soft or mushy beauty , it's a beauty of sharp dangerous seduction that leads to destruction , but one cannot stop looking , it's like a heroin trip ( not that I have ever done it) you sort of float somewhat on the edge of subconscience and reality, in that dream you have main characters like Stine or Kala(?) images with them are absolute treasure , they seem to be very personal and full of feelings, but then you have other characters that seem to lurk in your dreams like angels , angels that are fallen or angels that are in the debate between good or evil , there seem to be an inner battle that is unfolding right in front of a viewer , there is a sublime message in your images that is yet for me to get , for now they just feel right ..." ______________________________________________________________________________ "All I can say is....shhhhh.....leave him alone...Psssst...Emil .. do another one. "...
