Mate, been looking at your site and just wanted to tell you that I really like your pics. A link to it was sent to me by a friend and fellow photoblogger. I’m looking at new templates (themes) for my photoblog which died a slow internet death as the My Expressions blogging service came to an end. My wordy blog is on WordPress, and I want to do a photoblog on WP as well… love the back end.
Old blog, soon to be united somehow/somewhere with my WP blog:
http://www.westernflatline.com/
Best,
The Iron Flatline (Yoram Roth)
Thanks, good luck with the merge.
Really like your site redesign. Love your abstract photos.
I’ve recently changed over to WP too; don’t think I’ll ever go back to PP.
Thanks luan, appreciated.
i dunno how to take colour photos. your photos are very inspiring which let us know why we need colour.
Thanks fruit :)
Could I have your permission to use this Dungeness Power Station picture in print for my electrical client?
Thanks for your interest SB.
Unfortunately I am unable to offer any of my images for free, but I do offer royalty free licenses on some images at a cost.
I’ve sent you an email.
one of the best sites i’ve seen so far
definitely bookmarked!
Cheers Philipp.
Keep shining.. your artsy artistry!
Thanks IvyC.

Your photography is incredible and very inspiring! Do you sell prints of your work? Also, do you make money from your blog? I’m thinking of starting one to express my creativity but wouldn’t mind generating income eventually.
Many thanks,
Adam
Thanks Adam, I do sell prints, if your interested let me know which ones via email and we can talk details. I don’t make a lot of money from the site but do sell the odd hi-res.
Thanks for the quick reply, Andy. YOur work is amazing and I wish you continued success! I will follow your site and when I find that I have some extra money in my pocket, I’d love to buy a print.

One french comment : il y a beaucoup d’idées stimulantes et l’ensemble est très réjouissant à regarder. Merci !
Such rich photos. Have you ever shown in Montreal?
Many thanks Ava, no I’ve never shown in Montreal.
I always watch your websites and show it to my students, I love it.
A question: how work the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 macro on the 5DmkII, I really miss my 60mm EFs on the 40D and now that I have the 5DmkII I want a good macro lens.
Thanks

Hi, I really like the photo Hengistbury Head Rays 1. Tried to click on the link to buy a print but wouldn’t work. Can you help?
Thanks Matt. I’ve just switched to a new theme and been having a few technical difficulties. Links should be working now.

Hei Mr. Bell. Your music is just incredible…! EVERY track is a masterpiece! It´s mindblowing….
Many thanks Mats :)
i hope you´ll make a Resonance Vol 06! your music is out of space….
Coming very soon Mats. Thanks.
I shoul have found your blog much earlier than that! Really great work, and it definitely is one of the most inspiring photoblogs on the web. Actually, I’m more and more interested in an abstract or minimal style since I’m photographing more regularly.
Thanks :)
