Hi Luke, amazing to find you here on DA! (It's funny the people you meet on here.)

My sister is just going through a Diagnosis for Asperger's (Personally I think the whole family's got it but you know...)

Congrats on the great website anyway, plus the gallery! Definitely going to watch you.

Hello luke.

i have noticed you still visit the site regularly but have not uploaded any pictures, I have half dropped the Art and creativity using computer applications and decided to concenrate on computing, the more technical aspect.
I had a interview for a job as a technicain at a local school but did not get it. Hope your ok. I have seen your documentarys seemed interesting.

I have had a bad few month, due to a brain tumor. Was diagnosed mid March and had it removed late March. But i got some good news, i was non cancer Also i have passed my btec NA for it practitioners.


Hope to see more of your work soon, and to hear back
Jamie

Hello Luke. My name is Richard, and I didn't even realise that you were so close as to having a page on this website just like me. It's really a small world after all. I also have Asperger's Syndrome (supposedly) as well as OCD, and times have been really tough for me and my family, but it cheers me up to be able to chat to you this way, it's a real oppertunity to meet someone like you, expecially with your "fame", having all those appearences and awards and all to your name.
I've seen your programmes on Channel 4, and have been given one of your books as a present (which I have read about twice and found to be highly agreeable) and all I can say is that you will probably in future years become a great spokesperson and representative for all people with autism in general.

Will just say thanks for the comment I got from you 72weeks and 5days ago I have answar it now. Little late sorry :/ [link]

Hi Luke, I haven't seen you around for a while , I hope all is well with you and yours.
Or perhaps you just have not uploaded any work recently? Anyways, take care, see you soon

How come you don't talk to people on your MSN Messenger when they try and talk to you Luke?

I'm stevecam@gmail.com and was wondering if we could talk on MSN Messenger

im getting lonely here talk to me

FYI, just had to get the big ambitious manip out of my system, which took three times longer than expected, but will be proceeding to the still life next.

Have already arranged my subject (no small feat), but figure it'll take me a dedicating evening for angling my camera and lights, and experimenting with different DOFs, so it'll probably get done this week and then go up this upcoming weekend...

Just figured I'd let you know in case you'd been waiting on it.

ur stuff is amazing sweetheart.keepit up

"One hell of an entrance?" Well, I love to hear it! (I am absolutely in LOVE with my new 50mm/f1.4 lens.)

Interestingly, I'm really enjoying DOF for putting emphasis on the face by softening the other *ahem* attractive parts. (That's one of my favorite photographic aspects of Left of the Summer, actually.)

Yes, you're very astute and right: living up to all the standards, except the one about "meaning something." So it feels incredibly liberating, and will probably restore some vitality to the "art half" as well, besides just allowing all my photography now to be twice as potentially useful.

Every step of the way, my friend, every step of the way. I suppose we all need some shots there for purely eye-candy, if just for the sake of an extensive portfolio. Just ponder over the fact that maybe they do live up to the standards you'd established for yourself, just not in the same way, and use that fact to your advantage.

I see what you mean about that fact; in professional model/portrait photographer, the concept is either decided on wholly by the 'consumer', or there is none to speak of. In which case, all attention goes to making the photo as damn good as possible.

And I had noticed DOF not so much creeping into your work as doing it's best to make one hell of an entrance. I have a feeling you'll find it more useful other people would, it can be used to effectively give models that slight facial blur that takes out minor facial imperfections and brings just that much more desirability into a portrait photo. That only covers model shots, it just adds an extra dimension to the image.

Well I'm thrilled you'll be on-board!

A lot of the inspiration has come from hundreds of "good looking" pictures I've taken in the past. Have often thought, "you know, no one else would have any reservation about sharing these..." But they haven't lived up to the standard I'd established for my art, so they've been just "wasting away."

Add to this that I've decided I really want to be a professional model/portrait photographer, in which exactly that "meaning" needs to "get out of the way." So I think it'll be a hell of an exercise.

BTW, don't know if you've noticed yet, but DOF has entered into my recent work in a really big way. So I owe you thanks for that advice and inspiration as well.

where are you?

I mean, I don't even know if you liked my comments or no... and if no why?

wonderful...

Ahh!!! Amigo your gallery is mucho awesome!! Your pictures are all flawless... meloves!! *hugs* and you're from England. I love england.

I just stepped by Alyn's page and read your comment (took a while) and I would have to agree with everything he said. People like you keep this community alive and breathing, so thanks .

When was the last time you took a long look at the sky? Well in that case, I direct you here --->[link]

Your works are inspiring to a vast array of artists, and you spend so much time on them. They are objects (For any smartasses around, virtual objects ) of pure beauty, and I personally could sit staring at them for hours - there is so much detail there.

So, I leave you with a simple phrase as my answer; 'Credit where credit is due'.

You sir, are a breath of fresh air amongst this community. That comment could quite possibly be the best comment i have ever received, ever. A real stunner amongst all the shameful one worders i'm often presented with. You've obviously taken a lot of time to construct carefully a well thought out masterpiece in it's own right, and for that, i truely thank you.

I hope you don't mind if i paste that comment into my journal, and show people what really makes an artist feel as if he's done good.

Thanks once again, i do hope you present another artist with the same benevolence as you have just presented me.
