I stop by here now and then to see your wonderful pictures. You were a great artist Francis!

julivalley		21-Nov-2012 00:12
You are missed, Francis. You were a genius with a camera. I frequently send people here to see what magnificent photos you left. I wish the family would publish your images in a coffee table book.

Guy Dube		22-Feb-2011 03:48
Un tres grand photographe, a great photographer!

I have my doubts about the future of PBASE, but these pictures should be available to everyone well beyond the demise of this site. http://kieboom.smugmug.com

Daniel Wickwire		16-Jan-2010 19:11
I love that these galleries are still here and a tribute to an incredible artist!! Daniel.

I continue to love you and your work, Francis. You left us far too soon. God's peace. Juli

Des années encore, Francis sera une source d'inspiration inégalée... Tant d'émotion dans ces images d'un cher disparu...

Guest		14-Dec-2007 20:07
I believe in reincarnation. So, I guess the Master is back already and growing. He'll soon shoot his next PBase gallery. Look out for the talent!! :)

Guy Dube		21-Nov-2007 00:31
Francis Toussaint a ete une inspiration pour moi. J'y reviens temps en temps me ressourcer.

Guest		15-Sep-2007 16:41
This is a beautiful gallery Francis http://www.pbase.com/nickclayton

julivalley		25-Jul-2007 23:24
Dear Francis, I continue to visit your galleries. You were taken too soon. I wish your family would publish a collection of your best.

Soenda		10-Mar-2007 09:59
And still your light illuminates our world and fires our imaginations.

Guest		02-Nov-2006 20:42
Very wonderful gallery!! Best of best! Enjoy it!

Jean-Claude Liehn		28-Oct-2006 04:09
Je reviens sur ces galeries plusieurs mois après leur découverte et m'aperçois combien inconsciennement, elles m'ont influencé. J'ai pris l'habitude de présenter mes galeries en trois colonnes et respectant une symétrie des formats, c'est ici que j'ai puisé cette idée, je ne m'en souvenais plus. Et bien des sujets de mes photographies sont présents ici. Je ne dois pas être le seul des amateurs qui ont vu leur intérêt pour la photographie augmenter avec le numérique, à avoir été influencé par le travail de Francis. Qu'il soit disparu est une très triste nouvelle. Que son oeuvre continue à vivre ici est émouvant. Merci très sincèrement à ceux qui font que ses galeries subsistent sur PBase.

Kim Randolph		16-Sep-2006 17:41
Francis was the first pbase artist that I added to my favorites. As a new photographer I emailed him several times with questions that he always answered with gracious generosity. Thank you to pBase for keeping his galleries here. I have missed him. Kim

dave		03-Sep-2006 17:51
Im so sorry to hear of his death. He was a WONDERFULL photographer. Its so sad. Dave ...............

julivalley		25-Aug-2006 14:01
Your thanks go to Slug, the operator of pbase, for his continuing display of dear Francis' wonderful images. Francis is gone too soon.

Soenda		20-Aug-2006 03:46
My heart lept, for a moment, when I saw Francois's gallery in the most popular list. Could it be true...just a rumor that he is gone? Mais non. Already three years? He was a major insptiration to me. I thank whoever it is who keeps his galleries here. They remain bright light to set a course by.

julivalley		13-Apr-2006 00:36
You are missed and much-loved, Francis. Your beautiful images continue to inspire.

Guest		14-Mar-2006 22:02
May you rest in peace, your galleries are an inspiration to many, especially me.

Guest		10-Feb-2006 01:23
Three short years since your death today but your work lives on in the hearts of those who admire your work. Thank you for your art and inspiration - it still inspires us all as I am sure it will do well into the future.

Guest		08-Feb-2006 01:29
As others have stated before me, Mr. Toussaint's work was the first that I added to my Favorite Artists list when I joined PBase. Francis, your work thrilled me and inspired me, and I still thank you for sharing your love of beauty and your talent at creating photos that show that love. I am thankful that PBase will retain your photos in your memory. From what I have seen in his remarks to people who have asked for photo tips, as well as the remarks from his associates and friends, Francis was as fine an artist at the Art of Living as he was a fine photographer. I was never lucky enough to meet the man, but I mourn the loss of the photographer. May your spirit always be surrounded by Beauty and Love.

JOSE MATA		14-Jan-2006 16:54
ERAS UN GRAN ARTISTA FRANCIS, TU YA NO ESTAS CON NOSOTROS , PERO TUS IMAGENES NOS ACOMPAÑARAN SIEMPRE, DESCANSA EN PAZ. PPMATA

Guest		07-Jan-2006 07:45
These images are breathtaking and make you feel like you are there. This is my first time viewing Francis' work and I made comments on pictures before finding out that he is no longer with us. God bless. There is no way these pictures were taken by an ordinary person--he was extraordinary. My regrets to the family.

Guest		27-Oct-2005 04:58
I'm shocked to hear that you are gone. I've always loved your work, still do....will keep you in my list of favorates. I know you are bringing beauty to where you are now, just as you brought it to us here. RIP.

Rene Hales		19-Oct-2005 12:13
Francis was among the first artists I added to my favorites list. I will miss his creativity and his wonderful work. My heart goes out to his family and friends.--Rene

Guest		01-Oct-2005 14:33
God Bless you Francis! You have shared so many wonderful moments with the world. Youwill be missed yet remembered my friend.

Guest		28-Sep-2005 18:48
I wanted to say something to francis, who galleries i just discovered, that i really like his photography. What a tremendous loss. So now these words are for his family...

dhphoto		28-Sep-2005 15:13
I spoke to Francis often about the wonderful quality of his work and I am deeply saddened to hear he has passed away. If his family ever read this I'd just like to say I think he was one of the very best photographers I have ever seen.

Guest		12-Aug-2005 23:50
I am saddened by the loss of Francis. He is amoung the pantheon of the greatest photographers ever. I remember the first time I happened upon his site here and then at Fred Miranda I was left visually speechless. We all mourn the loss.

Guest		25-Jul-2005 18:17
Deeply saddened to hear about Francis' not being amongst us any more. May the supreme bless him. -Cat

Guest		25-Jul-2005 14:27
I haven't been visiting pBase too much recently, and when I saw how old Francis' galleries were it seemed very odd. Francis' photos have been my inspiration since I joined pBase, he was my 1st favorite. He truely was a magician with his camera. An assembly of his work into a book would be fitting tribute. I'm so glad his gallery will remain available as a testimony of his work. Thank you.

Bob Rhéaume		21-Jul-2005 01:28
I am truly and deeply saddened to learn of the passing of this gracious and sensitive soul with the powerful and unique talent. A hopeless hacker at photography with no clear notion or strong feelings as to what constitutes art, I nevertheless know that viewing the work of Francis Toussaint has given me great joy and has been both inspirational and discouraging. For me, his photos are overfilled with the beauty and humanity in the world around him, and they reveal the soul of an artist combined with the skill of a master craftsman. His great talent was to clearly see this beauty and humanity and to routinely and skillfully record his exquisite vision for all of us to enjoy. I can vividly remember the genuine excitement I felt when I first chanced upon his wonderful photos, and although I believe I’ve grown more discerning and harder to impress as I’ve worked at my own photography in recent years, I can’t honestly say that the allure of his magnificent images has dimmed in the slightest. Thank you, Francis.

Patrick DEBETENCOURT		01-Jul-2005 13:27
Je suis extrêmement peiné d'apprendre la disparition de Francis Toussaint. Il a en effet été pour moi, (tout comme "Anne's Photos" ci-dessous, et certainement beaucoup d'autres), le photographe qui par ses galeries sur Pbase m'a donné envie de découvrir ce site, puis de m'y inscrire. Encore récemment, c'est pour une bonne part sa galerie sur le meeting de la Ferté-Alais qui m'a incité à y aller faire des photos. J'étais surpris de ne plus voir de mises à jour de ses superbes galeries, mais je ne pensais pas apprendre sa disparition dans son guestbook... Comme beaucoup d'autres "Pbaseurs" je suis très heureux que ses photos restent en ligne, Ainsi nous pourrons y revenir encore et encore en pensant à lui. Au revoir Francis et merci pour toutes les merveilles que vous nous laissez. Vous avez été, et vous resterez pour beaucoup une source d'inspiration... Patrick

julivalley		24-Jun-2005 20:36
I wish someone knew how to reach his family and arrange for a book of his photographs.

lebororo		22-Jun-2005 07:05
Triste nouvelle... C'est encore plus que de la qualité, je dirai de la perfection. Un grand trou pour le commun du monde de la photo... Avec respect pour "son œuvre" et son travail lebororo

Guest		17-Jun-2005 21:12
Very sad to hear about Francis. His galleries are probably the best on PBASE.

tomr-photos		17-Jun-2005 15:56
Sorry to hear about Francis (I had that feeling about him awhile back but didn't want to believe it). He was up there among the best...and he still is.

ricecake		17-Jun-2005 15:17
Francis' photos were the first to inspire me, the first I added to my list of "favorite artists". How sad to learn he is no longer with us, but I am glad that Slug is keeping his galleries here for all of us to appreciate.

bm		16-Jun-2005 01:42
The loss of Francis is indeed sad news for our world in photos. From well-known landmarks to simple objects, the diversity in each frame by Francis lures a closer look. I have always admired the creative artistry captured in his photos.

Michele Rodgers		13-Jun-2005 05:31
A great loss but a great legacy in the photos!

julivalley		10-Jun-2005 13:09
Happily, Slug plans to keep Francis' images on pbase for us to admire. Francis was such a gifted artist with a camera. I never tire of looking at them. Juli Valley

Guest		09-Jun-2005 15:47
I read about his passing and came to see the galleries. But believe it or not, some immature person has already started to spamm the galleries with rude comments knowing he'll not be around to delete them.

Guest		09-Jun-2005 13:43
Dear PBase, Please keep this gallery as a memory of a great Artist. Again and again looking at your unforgettable photos I say BRAVO Francis! Yuri

julivalley		09-Jun-2005 13:38
I had feared we had lost Francis for months. I had tried to locate him through some forum friends in Paris without luck. He will be so missed. He was a genius with the camera. Juli Valley

Daniella T.		09-Jun-2005 01:06
That is a very sad news in deed. when and how did it happened? How old was he? Is there any biographical information available on him? Quelle perte pour l'humanité, un si grand talent :(

Guest		29-May-2005 18:28
Your photos are amazing. What lenses do you use? MPR.

Guest		23-May-2005 03:35
These pictures are amazing- that's all I can say. I would spend hours on end just looking at them if I could, but I can't.... I'm no expert, but these photos truly capture some amazing feeling that makes a person want to go hop the next plane to somewhere, anywhere, that looks as beautiful as it does in the pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Théo		14-May-2005 15:05
Terrible nouvelle si c'est vrai... Je ne pense pas qu'il ait jamais publié de livre malheureusement (il n'y a rien sur Amazon à son nom)

Dan		14-May-2005 14:58
That is very sad; did he ever published his work somewhere? When did he passed away?

John Vermé		07-May-2005 06:30
Francis has passed away, I am sad to inform you.

Peggy Roden		28-Apr-2005 21:27
Are there any books by Mr. Toussaint. We are interested in purchasing gifts for cruise participants cruising the northern coast of France.

Andreas		07-Apr-2005 14:52
Wonderful pictures. I thank you very much.

Guest		03-Apr-2005 01:44
Does anyone know anything about Francis? He has not posted any photos for 15 months :(

Marc Vermeulen		12-Mar-2005 20:33

Mehdi		28-Feb-2005 10:36
Tout d'abord bonjour ... Comme tout le monde ici je tenais à vous féliciter pour vos photos, et j'aurais aimer savoir comment vous contacter. En effet, je suis moi même graphiste, et certaines de vos photos m'intéressent dans le cadre d'une de nos éditions en print, afin d'illustrer certaines régions de france et d'ailleurs. Si vous pouviez me contacter assez rapidement par mail : mbouchafa@hotels-exclusive.com nous sommes basés à Paris, merci encore, j'attends de vos nouvelles.

Alain-Philippe BAUDRY-KNOPS		18-Feb-2005 11:40
Suis allé voir vos photos, j'aime beaucoup ce que vous faites. Bravo Alain

Brooke		05-Feb-2005 19:41
I don't know if this is the correct way to do it, but I wondered if your pictures are available for purchase, I don't mean to offend you in any way, I cried when I saw your pictures of Mont. St Michel and want to have them around me always, any help would be appreciated. You are a blessing

digital photo magazine		04-Feb-2005 10:24
Hi Francis Great images, would you be interested in having some of your work featured in Digital Photo magazine's gallery section? If so drop me an e-mail at chris.robinson @ emap.com

Guest		02-Feb-2005 16:42
Frustrated I am - you have a very wide range of images with a very high proportion showing the "x" factor. Frustrated because I am not so productive. I wonder what proportion of your day is spent out with a camera?

pretty06		24-Jan-2005 00:50
j'ai pas vu plus beau que ?a!!! excellent shot.

Guest		16-Jan-2005 08:50

Guest		07-Jan-2005 05:53
Dear Francis, You don't know how many times i keep looking at your galleries and keep thinking how could one do that? Then i convince myself saying- some people just have it.... I have recently become interested in photography .......and i know i have a too long way to go. I would really appreciate if u could just give me some tips to start with..that would be very kind of you. any input from other members are welcome too... Shall i expect a reply....?

Bonjour, Iconographe freelance, je suis à la recherche de ... Francis Toussaint (!) J'ai remarqué une de vos photos (des colonnes de Buren, à Paris) qui pourrait sûrement intéresser une agence de pub pour laquelle je travaille en ce moment... Avant de présenter votre photo (vue surhttp://www.pbase.com), je voulais juste savoir si vous étiez partant et s’il était possible d’accéder à cette photo en haute résolution... ? L’urgence fait encore partie des données... Merci de me répondre le plus vite possible. Avec tout mes remerciements. Valérie Lagier Iconographe freelance 06 62 24 18 05 (Paris)

J. Usher		06-Oct-2004 21:31
Cher Francis: J'ai trouvé vos photos, et je devais m'arrêter pour les regarder! Ce sont vraiment fantastiques! J'adore Paris, le Mont St. Michel, les châteaux de la Loire, le Louvre, la Ste. Chapelle, etc. (et tous qui est français). J'avais les larmes au coeur pour la beauté de la galerie! Bien sûr, je veux bien à voyager à la France immediatément pour visiter encore tous ces endroits. J'enseigne le français aux Etats-Unis, et je voudrais montrer vos photos à mes classes. Mes élèves vont les adorer. S'il vous plaît, ajoutez plus de photos de la France (et d'Italie) bientôt. La galerie est formidable!!!

Dear Francis, do you know, that your pictures are shown in the German "fotocommunity" where they are part of the top pictures and elected in a gallery? The funny thing is, the fotographer's name is Mathew Armstrong, and he tells, that he lives in New York and in London. http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/display/1664950 Regards Slides Only

Francis, I would never pretend to match the technical quality of your photos, mine are just snapshots by a tourist with a cheap camera, but you might like the composition of these shots of Mt. St. Michel. The second one is a snapshot by computer from Video, not from a snapshot camera. http://www.americansinfrance.net/Tidbits/Mt_St_Michel_Night.cfm http://www.americansinfrance.net/Tidbits/Le_Mont_St_Michel_1.cfm

Bonjour Francis, J'aime vos photos de Le mon St Michel ! En fait, je voudrais employer un couple d'eux comme la base d'un effet spécial en film de bas-budget que je travaille dessus. Si vous , svp me contacter pour plus de détails, car j'aimerais avoir votre permission de les employer dans le film. cwicks@syringa.net Profundis de Pax, mèches de Corey

Terry		22-May-2004 14:52
Your photographs are magnificent I think in part due to your use of light as an integral part of the composition. I am a professional artist and would like to use a few of your shots as inspiration for paintings (not exact copies). I would not be making prints of such work, just single artworks and would like to talk to you about permission to do this. Sincerest thanks for sharing your talent by posting your photographs for all to see. Please contact me. Thank you!

Corey Wicks		21-May-2004 16:39
Hello Francis, I love your photos of Le Mon St Michel! In fact, I would like to use a couple of them as the basis of a special effect in a low-budget film I am working on.

J'ai vu vos superbe photos! Bravo!!! Etant donné que j'ai un site sur la Bretagne (en italien) je voudrais vous demander si je peux en utiliser quelqu'une pour la galérie de mon site. Bien sûre, j'irai faire un link à votre gallerie et je préciserai que les photos sont à vous. J'en serai très heureuse! Voilà l'adresse: http://liberakri.altervista.org Je vous remercie en avance.

Your photographs are breathtaking! And, I've never seen a better collection anywhere! I have an art-school background and I just want to say that your pictures are truly works of art. I recently returned from France and if I had found your gallery before I went, I wouldn't have bothered to take pictures. There's no comparison. Your photographs are so expressive that even buildings look romantic. I am currently building a web site called "Enjoy Normandy" with photos and a few travel tips and would very much like to include your art and add a link for others to visit your gallery because if anything can inspire someone to travel to Normandy, it's your incredible collection. May I have your permission to post your pictures and your link?

Maurice Hammon		11-Feb-2004 16:01
In a way your site frustrates me! Mean I know but depressing too for you show up my lack of skill. Not only do you have 'the gift' but amazingly productive too. Intersting; some of the pictures would not do well at the photographic clubs - fault of the Judges, not the photographs. Others would knock their socks off! Versatality is the key I guess. (putting my camera up for sale)

Guest		30-Jan-2004 02:31
Francis, Your galleries are pure poetry of light and colors, full of inspiration and emotions. You really have a great artistic eye. I'm sure I'm not the first one (and last) who mentioned it. Congratulations. Rich.

Guest		18-Jan-2004 18:02
Dear Francis, By chance I entered your magnificent galeries. Your work is above words. The colors are fantastic. How do you do it???? Thank you

André Audet		31-Dec-2003 04:29
J'ai parcouru avec grand plaisir votre site et j'ai apprécié la qualité de vos photos. Plusieurs photos de Paris et ses environs m'ont rappelé d'excellents souvenirs d'un récent voyage dans la ville Lumière qu'est Paris. Les photos prises dans les Jardins du Luxembourg représentent bien le plaisir qu'ont les Parisiens à se rassembler le dimanche pour se détendre en toute simplicité, ceci en plein centre d'une ville en constant mouvement: les Jardins de Luxembourg sont un oasis de tranquillité. La qualité de vos photos d'oiseaux est particulièrement exceptionnelle. Bravo pour votre travail. André Audet Trois-Rivières Canada

J.V.		24-Dec-2003 00:22
quand même ! mes préférées le Clown, les jardins du Luxembourg (les grands arbres et le groupe de personnages) et le Louvre ("les dessinateurs au sol").Bien à vous. J.V

Guest		24-Dec-2003 00:07
Vous me faites penser Monet et à Poussin l'équilibre dans les choses, beaucoup de vos photos sont des chef d'oeuvres ,superbes, votre registre est très large et je dirais votre moyenne très élévée.Bien sur un des meilleurs du plateau. J.V.

I saw your work in photo.net at first then there is this link to your website. Your photographs are amazing, I have been learning photography for couple years now as my hobby and looking forward to try medium format too. Your photographs are great and inspires me to set a higher standard for myself, great pictures!

Phil Douglis		02-Oct-2003 18:21
Francis, I am delighted to hear that you viewed all nine chapters of my 'cyberbook' on expressive travel photography. As a photography teacher, I want my Pbase site to be more than just a way to share my pictures, but also share some of the ideas behind them. You are one of the few to recognize the potential value of my intentions, and to regard my galleries as a useful reference. It an honor for me to draw your interest, Francis. You are obviously one of Pbase's most gifted members -- millions have viewed your galleries in the last few years and have received much from your images. I am delighted that my own galleries have drawn your interest and I hope that you will find ideas of value to you within them. And thanks, too, for leaving those comments on my galleries as well. I hope that the comments my galleries draw will provide an ongoing forum to enhance the points I am trying to get across with my images. Thanks again, Francis, for your message of encouragement. Phil

Craig Sadler		27-Sep-2003 21:46

Francis, I just wanted to thank you for such lovely photos of Mount Saint Michel. I was helping a young friend who needed a project about France when I came upon your web site. I had the privilege of living in France over 20 years ago. This was one of my best memories, and walking through your photos reminded me of seeing this national treasure for the first time. Thanks again and I look forward to some of your other works. Robyn Carter Kentucky, USA

Guest		18-Jun-2003 22:10
Furthermore, since your photos are far superior to most, if not all, i have viewed, could you share with me whether the quality of the lens of the camera is going to make that much difference as to viewing on a comuter monitor, web, email, etc. or how do you explain the sharpness and quality of your photos on the web as compared to the average photo? walt west awwest@bellsouth.net

Guest		18-Jun-2003 22:04
I have enjoyed immensely your photos. I can't help but notice the "framing" adds to your photos. I have just purchased a camera and would like to diplay a few shots. I don't suppose you would share a "trade secret" about how to frame like you do??If not, I completely understand and i will contine to admire your work anyway. walt west awwest@bellsouth.net

Caroline		15-Jun-2003 03:00
I was looking for a certain painting that I saw in the Musee d'Orsay and stumble upon your work. The photos of Paris at night seemed to perfectly capture the memories of my sister and I on our visit there. Thank you so much for sharing them with the world. I will be back many times to see your work. Human appreciating your artistry, Caroline

edward		13-Jun-2003 09:12

I have been following your galleries for the last year and continue to be in awe in your diversity, creativity and diligence in pursuing the perfect lighting and mood in your shots. I have lived in Paris for the last two years but must have been to lazy to pursue the kind of images you produce. Thanks for sharing your great works, and keep it up. Paul

Dear Francis, Looking to the pictures of Holland I also saw a photo from a Mini under the snow. I am a member of The Dutch Mini Seven Club and we always have a newyears-card at the end of the year. That picture looks very nice to me. Can you perhaps mail the orininal to me so we can use in this year?? Ofcourse we name you as photographer at the card. We would be pleased. Please let me know. Regards from a rainy (Southern)Holland on the moment. Cees

Guest		24-Apr-2003 21:03
May I use some of your photos for my 'ChardyCards'? These are cards I print and send to family and friends for birthdays, christenings, christmas etc..

Very very lovely photos !!

Je suis stupéfait devant la beauté de tes photos. Tu pourais en faire des livres et les vendre à prix d'or. :) Par contre, après avoir vu tant de belles photos, quand je regarde les miennes je constate que soit je suis vraiment très nul, ou mon canon D30 est pas bon. Ne me donnerais-tu pas un cours de photo ?:) Bravo en tout cas ! et bonne continuation Guy le québécois de Bruxelles

Magnifique...et heureusement les galleries s'étoffent avec le temps :-) Je vous conseille ce site : justourpictures.com ce n'est pas le mien et je ne gagne rien à le faire connaître sinon d'espérer que la qualité des photos de roses que présentent les webmistresses ne vous encourage à vous y mettre vous même...je suis fan de roses et avec vous derrière l'objectif je ne pourrais pas être déçue ;-) La photo du Mont St Michel (celle de la vignette de la galerie) est mon papier peint depuis un mois.Elle a "déclassé" le lion "King", une autre de vos oeuvres... Félicitations pour vos galeries, et merci d'en faire profiter les autres.

Mme. Toussaint, Le musée national de bâtiment organise actuellement l'exposition vers le haut, vers le bas, à travers: Ascenseurs, escalators, et trottoirs mobiles pour septembre 2003. L'exposition discute le passé, présent, et le futur de ces dispositifs de transport et comment elles ont effectué la culture et l'architecture. Avec l'exposition, les éditeurs de Merrell produit un catalogue. Un des essais dans ce catalogue discute les escalators au centre de Pompidou. Je voudrais employer l'image que vous avez signalée intitulé "l'escalator." Je peux payer une copie et de quelqu'honoraires d'utilisation vous avez besoin. Maintenez svp dans l'esprit que le musée national de bâtiment est un établissement éducatif privé et sans but lucratif. Merci de votre temps.

Louise Giguère		30-Dec-2002 01:05
Bonjour Francis Je suis très impressionnée par ton talent et la qualité de tes photos. En voyant ces chef-d'oeuvres, je suis tentée de changer mon appareil pour du Canon. 1/ Quelle est la technique utilisée pour donner des images aussi claires? 2/ Tes images sont-elles travaillées sur Photoshop? 3/ Comment lire tes réponses? Tu dois ëtre très occupé par tout ce courrier Suggestion: Une page-réponse adressée à tes fans sur ce site ainsi qu'une page ¨présentation de l'auteur¨. Merci de ta générosité. Bravo pour ce fabuleux trésor. Louise Giguère Québec.

pingupingu		12-Nov-2002 19:56
Chapeau, chapeau et encore chapeau !!!! En tout cas , merci de l'envie que vous me donner de me mettre sérieusement à la photo (et apparemment je ne suis pas le seul). Une suggestion, si vous avez la fibre pédagogique bien sùr: vous pourriez faire des galeries du style : comment faire un bon cadrage, un bon recadrage, comment obtenir une bonne profondeur de champ. Evidemment, après il y le courrier à gérer. Une autre idée moins prenante serait un bétiser, une galerie de vos photos ratées, (commentées ?) pour que chacun en tire quelque chose et surtout puisse se dire qu'il y arrivera un jour. Cordialement

I really like your photography. Are you a professional photographer?! Anyway, I like your pictures of faces a lot. Photography is a hobby for me, but I wish I had more time to devote to it. Keep up the fantastic work!

Hi, your pictures are very nice!! The lighting and composition are very good. Can I know which lens u are using now ?

Guest		08-Aug-2002 23:02
Dear Francis, I just started to learn about the photography. After I visited your galleries, only one word that I want to say is 'wonderful'. I hope that one day I can get only halfs( or may be less than half ) quality of yours. Really admire your works. Napat N.

Bravo Francis ! Vos photos sont magnifiques. Je ne me lasse jamais de le regarder. Je fais aussi beaucoup de photos numériques avec mon Canon G1. Quatorze mille photos depuis un an et demi, dont plus de la moitié en nature, sur des sites naturels magnifiques et sauvages. Merci ! Réal Pointe du Lac au Québec

Hello, superbes tes photos ! Quel régal pour les yeux ! Je vais tenter de t'égaler ! 2 questions : 1/ Comment fais-tu les cadres autour de tes images ? 2/ Comment fais-tu pour avoir une page ALL dans les Thurnbails ? Je reviendrai voir tes images ... A+

Guest		30-Jul-2002 15:45
Hi Francis, Your photographs are beautiful. Aside from your obvious talent and sensitivity, I was wondering on the more technical side how you manage to get such crisp, crystal clear pictures. I can't get half that quality with my D30+EOS 28-135 IS. Is it me or is it my lens? Are you using L lenses, do you do any heavy post processing in Photoshop? Thanks, and again, your work is a pleasure Yuval

I come from Taiwan, to visit all the places you visited in the period of continuos time. Because I can't stop myself. Actually I tripped all the places there a decade ago with borrowed money, you'll see how I like all the beautifull events. Love you as well as love all your fotos. Wonderful.

Colin Bouriquet		05-Jul-2002 01:50
Splendide job, un grand bravo. J'aimerais bien savoir les objectifs que tu utilises sur tes boitiers canon, ca m'aiderait sans doute a me décider. Entre autres pour les macros par exemple. Merci.

I'm a frequent visiter to your albums, and you continue to impress me. You have a very fine eye for light, composition and content. I'll be back :-) By the way: Some of my own pictures would be improved by a frame. How do you make the frames ?

Ita		04-Jun-2002 19:47
Francis... Amazing images. You have a wonderful eye, gift of composition and the ability to capture a moment!

I like the leave that was half like a skeleton. Did you construct your object for photography or was it purely nature? Sharon

Guest		07-May-2002 01:55
Francis, Excellent pictures! I am inspired by your work. Regards, Edwin

Guest		26-Apr-2002 05:49
FRANCIS, your work is absolutely beautiful. You have inspired me to pick up the camera again after a 10yr layoff. Your work sends a chill down my spine just as an old song sometimes does. Thanks for the inspiration. HANK

Guest		20-Apr-2002 19:33
Francis I really love your photographs can you explain how you create the beautiful frames? Many thanks Robert PS - I lived in Belgium for 8 years and spent many wonderful days in France. Memories :-)

Paul		11-Apr-2002 13:43
Excellent composition and creativity. I like the photos you took using the D30's. I'm waiting for other pbase users to post any D60 samples. Can you share the template or frame your attaching this photos? If it's a photoshop please attached the template through my E-mail address. Thanks, Paul T.

Guest		19-Mar-2002 04:42
I keep returning again and again to your galleries. The images are spectacular. As a beginning photographer, you have given me new ways to look at my surroundings. Thanks again for such wonderful work.

Guest		06-Mar-2002 23:21
Nice, very nice, congratulation, please continue question: You use wich software for the frame, presentation

Guest		22-Feb-2002 19:04
Bonjour Francis, Fabulous work of photography and digital enhancement. You can see people working on Macintosh. I'm still deep into argentic photography compare to digital, but your work with the D30 make my heart balance, I'm now leaving in US and the cost of film (VELVIA) and processing is killing me. I would appreciate your comments on some of my photos (unfrtunately I have no time to scan all of them), including the way I could enhance them with Photoshop to have the slide quality back on the screen. Merci beaucoup and post more photo is possible Emmanuel

Hi Francis, excellent gallery!!! : )

Dias dos Reis		03-Feb-2002 10:57
Dear Francis, Thank you for your comment on my Óbidos gallery. I´m not going to say anything further on your work, for the adjectives I could use, even in portuguese, wouldn't pay justice to it. You make Paris look like a calm and harmonious city. Best wishes, A. Reis

Guest		01-Feb-2002 00:23
Francis, I'm far from being a pro, and i know very little about photography, but i'm really impressed by your work and I wish I know how to take pictures reaching half the quality of yours. You've got my whole and sincere admiration and respect for your talent. Thank you so much. Pablo.

Looked through your gallery because I love all things French. Beautiful pictures. I've taken many shots at Jardin de Luxembourg, none compare to yours. You have a natural talent, I need lots of luck.

Guest		30-Nov-2001 09:43
I was looking for a reason to come back to France... Well, your pictures I just discovered give me now the wish to come back and to see again this so beautiful Autumn light. Douceur de l'Isle de France... Jean-Paul (from San Francisco) www.pbase.com/sfjp

Altofran		27-Nov-2001 05:31
Few words to congratulate you for the job you've done on your pictures. I knew that the "Canon D30" was a good camera, but any camera is nothing without the talent of the photographer. I take this opportunity to make some publicity for my galleries Montreal at pbase.com/nacef, hope you'll enjoy them. Cordially, B. Nacef

Guest		23-Nov-2001 04:09
Hi Francis, i browsed all your pictures (16 galleries) i honestly like them all..buthttp://www.pbase.com/image/446382 image is somewhat distracting to me..distracting in a way that i am so envious with your equipments...well on the second thought i guess it is too much an accessory for a beginner like me..i guess i have to be happy with my cp-995 ...seriously photgrahy is only a hobby for me.. but i wish i could be as accomplished photograher like you ... my sincere best regards and all my respect/floren a.k.a. ulol
