  • Thank you Mr. Paulson for the beautiful picture. I live in Ohio but was born in Trona California. These wonderful pictures really made me homesick and brought tears to my eyes. I so do miss my birth state. I miss seeing the fields of the beautiful California Poppy's, the clover, the beaches. Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures of God's creation with us. Keep them coming. If it's not to much trouble, would you please take some picture's of the poppy fields in wide screen? Thanks again I am most grateful.

  • Dear Don: I absolutely love this photo! How did you get the clouds to look so rosey? Was it a filter? I like thw way the clouds look too--windswept. What type of lens did you use? I also love your Owl Creek Pass Photos. I was there last Fall and loved every minute of it. I took my daughter and we ate at the "True Grit" Cafe in Ridgeway. I will always love your photos and will continue to appreciate them. Wishing You The Best...Colleen at csprings44@aol.com

I must say though that you have a secret way of enhancing your photos that brings the already stunning beauty to new heights. I would love to know how you do it, as I would be buying your art and framing it for my home.

  • I don't suppose there is even one accolade left that hasn't already been showered upon you for your beautiful work here and throughout your albums...yet, I find myself wanting like everyone else to say something regarding this magnificent collection that has brought you a very deserving feature. It as if you have very carefully picked a handful of beautiful photos that are sun drenched, dipped in color and woven together in this album like wildflowers would be carefully picked to place on a table that thousands of people from around the world would be able to view in a single day. Understated but your bouquet is perfect. You were the 1st favorite I selected in WEBSHOTS and your albums remain a quiet place where I like to just hang out. Congratulations...may your day be equal to your talent. -debbie/dallas, tx/usa

  • Ever since a friend of mine gave me the link to your homepage where I saw some stunning photo's, I have been a great admirer of your work. Although I knew nothing at all about photography back then, your photo's have inspired me to buy myself a camera and start photographing myself. I found out that this is a hobby I will never 'master' but it just gives me so much joy to do. If only one out of fivehundred photo's turns out to be exactly the way I wanted it to be, I am the happiest person in the world, grin. Throughout those years I have seen many work of other professional photographers, but you remained one of my absolute favorites. I would like to thank you for all the beautiful photo's to look at, and for inspiring people like me. Best regards, Louise from Holland
