yeah that's definitely one of my least favorite things about the site. you upload a picture you're so proud of and it gets one star! oh well :] you're wonderful, and definitely one of my favorite photographers like... ever.

thanks man :-D

i love your photography; you're so creative [:

Thanks!

Yes, it has that effect on you! You have to be there to appreciate that feeling - you can't explain it in words.

I'm going back next year but visiting the north island this time, then down to the south for a few days to visit friends. There's something about NZ. It gave me a tremendous feeling of.. being alive, I suppose you could say..

:D i will def look into it!

It's never even crossed my mind.. but thank you so much!! :) it really means a lot coming from such a great photographer/artist!

hey, thank you on comments you gave and welcomed me here. well, a definite fame for you!, americanvirus.

thanks so much [: and lexi is fine. sometimes I get lexy too.

you are for sure gona be the first to reach a MILLION stars! and i cant wait! you pics are so amazing.

congrats on the 2000 ;)

Joey Lawrence (joeyl.com) his stuff is alot more national geographic-esque but the emotion brought in using colors and eyes is what reminds me of you,i see you use the 5d what do you think of it because my friend just got the T2i (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=19943) and they have very similar specs but i imagine the T2i is much noisier.

Thanks man,sadly you and i were the only two to think so =P random but you get mad photo kudos in my book,your work actually reminds me of one of my favorite photographers

your latest uploads are so unreal. I wish we could work on some project together, I absolutely admire and appreciate your work.

I seriously cannot tell you enough how much I love and admire your work Jonas. What kind of editing software do you use? I seriously feel helpless compared to what you do!

Awesome people photos.

I have to say your profile is the first one I go to every time I log on. I hope that someday my photography gets as mind boggling as yours. Happy Holidays and have a great New Years!!!

Thanks for the kind comments! It means a lot! :-D

you're a beast with a camera

thanks for inviting a friend and helping the community grow!

Thanks for the comments! I wish I really was a superhero, maybe I'd be more sane. Your work is great, btw. Very lively. With a tinge of lite horror in some places. I like. ;)

I really have to fix that weird bug when you try and leave comments. Sorry it's pretty frustrating I bet...

I admire your work; it's truly fantastic! :D

I knew you were a good match for this community. I"m really glad you're here.

Hey Jonas, how do I add you as a friend on here? I really enjoy your photographs..I consider your eye very inspiring...yes...your eye...lol

thanks for the comment man!! take a look at my site, it has the picture in the full series i took: www.paulbothwell.com

For sure man! I know that bugged me I'll have to look into that, it seems to happen on profiles too when you leave long comments :(

cuz u know it has options so it just twitters out uploads, if you dont want all the star notifications :) just sayin...

why havent you linked your twitter yet? not into it?

thrilled to see you back on Liveforfame. you work was missed.

how do you like the new profiles?

i love how active you are on the site. thanks for sticking with us, and staying hellamega.
