Inabottle  04/16/05 @935

I think the eyes make this image they are strong and say so many things, along with the details in his face from his eyebrow to his mouth. I love your photography, brings a certain humanity to portraits that is ussually overlooked by most.

bluepulse  04/17/05 @838

Wow! Looks like me after I see the critiques concerning my posts. Nice coloring and capture.

reilanchan  04/18/05 @009

WOW. This face looks as he has seen many things in his past. Great great expression, it's feeling as if his soul speaks to us through this look.

fabiolutz  04/18/05 @080

This picture shows a sad reality present not just in El Salvador but, all over the world. Unfortunatelly, here in Brasil we have a lot of people in the same situation. All days, walking the 2 kilometers from my home to my job, I can see several homeless (and alcohollic) people under the buildings marquees. Maybe, inspired by you, I can try some shots about this subject too.

DigitalDust  04/18/05 @327

Looks as if this gentleman has been to hell and back - and perhaps not altogether "back"... Again, hard to assess these kinds of photos with crits or votes - just way too much real human drama involved for "numbers games" - there is no light in those eyes - and that is the most appalling realness to me...

Marl1  04/18/05 @419

that is beautifull.. I just feel like crying when I see it. Cannot stop looking.. Wish I could give you more marks then 5 Marleen.

Jane  04/18/05 @425

I can´t believe i haven´t come before... I was quite sure i did..... maybe because i saw the picture before !!!!! For us how live here I think is easy to read his story in his face !!!!! This is a beautiful portrait !!!!

MsMichelleLynn  04/19/05 @394

Excellent Carlos ... extremely expressive with great detail. How do you get these people to let you take these photos? I would think that people such as this might want to shy away from the camera.

NaxeT  04/19/05 @608

The very best moment!! Un momento único, puede verse en su rostro sufrimiento y melancolía.

kittyKat  04/19/05 @876

very cool Description

nod423  04/20/05 @230

Oh man again, your pics always got my attention, all ur shot reminds me of the photographer of National Geographic who took the shot of a 12 year old palestinian girl, hope you'd seen it, just look into her eyes and you'll see the emotions of the palestinian people, and you know what that photographer, after 20 years, he travel to find that girl again and took the shot same pose, then they compared the first shot when the girl was still 12 years of age and the shot of a 22 year old woman( same person), Oh the emotions of the eyes were still there, very nice, hope you've seen it, very emotional... Anyway keep on that kind of subject you're good on it, +10. Nice description too

eremita  04/20/05 @268

Abstractor  04/21/05 @226

Well Carlos my friend, I am late as always recently. Forgive me. This portrait is, intense, exquisite, and full of emotion. I have been clean and sober for ten years my friend. I truely feel the pain in this mans life, the surrender of himself. The absolute hoplessness. I have tears. We all must make our choices, and then we live our concquences. A great work of art Carlos, Keith

fiveironfreak17  04/25/05 @199

great job, i love your new artworks focusing on people. You have magnificent composition and color mechanics. But more importantly, you tie all of your photos to life. You honestly addressed this topic of alcoholism and it is much appreciated. Great job again, as usual!

shyamshriram  04/25/05 @427

Sir u've captured his soul ! great shot as usual

AaronLP  04/26/05 @821

Great!

skulpturro  04/27/05 @068

"Documentarian of the Lost". Kind of corny, but I think the title fits you.......This is a face that is all too readily hidden in my country - I think if it wasn't, Alcoholism would be treated earlier and more aggressively. I miss my father too, he has been gone for many years. Thankyou for reminding me of him. 10+

aarastas  05/18/05 @672

StellarCaravan  07/01/05 @937

A lot of emotion in this one. You did a great job of capturing it. I know how alcoholism can destroy lives. You can see a story just by looking at this photo.

snape71  07/02/05 @092

I like very much his expression in his eyes and the lighting is great!loved it!

liquidd  07/06/05 @155

RodrigoAbrahim  06/08/06 @816

I very impressive photograph, Carlos. The contrast between the background and the subject are really astounding. And the light colors on his face are very rich and varied, makes me wanna paint. Congratulations, Carlos.

ouroboruss  06/28/06 @715

Tengo que decirte que esta es mi favorita. De todas tus fotos, de las cuales en su mayoría son muy pero muy buenas, esta es la que más me llamó la atención. Sobretodo el hecho de la luz como rebota en el rostro de abajo para arriba. No sé si había algo que refleja el sol en la cara del señor. Pero sí, se mira bien. También el fondo hace contraste con el personaje. Asi que compañero tienes un buen trabajo acá, y gracias por el tip de las fotos. Buena fortuna....

FAV  07/01/06 @940

man, I can see deep inside this man's mind through your portrait. great shot, Carlos

lucuella  08/01/06 @063

Great and emotive portrait indeed!

anastasia  09/23/06 @591

Well, i must tell you Carlos, i was really happy when i saw you were the first one in gfx artists that welcomed me. I find your job real and full of emotion. Most of your pictures speak for themselves... I wish someday my photographs looks like yours...

uaparcana1  10/03/06 @125

Madanaple, I get it now. To be a god father you must be a god son. Your dad was a very "caballero" de aquellos q ahora y nustros pensamientos solo recuerdan. My dad have alcohol problem too, But he didn’t do anything to change it. I really admire you not just cuz ur a good photographer …. Cuz u are a amazing person and a very bravery man who could pass that problem. Un fuerte abrazo

rassik  11/07/06 @924

impresionante la expresion en la fotografia.... casi todos hemos padecido de algun modo los consecuencias del alcoholismo, directa o indirectamente. lo mejor de su trabajo, consiste en el alto contenido social.

vili  12/08/06 @501

...Wher u find dudes like this????...great man...GREAT !

naturlich  12/10/06 @057

creativeunltd  05/22/07 @364

Beautiful work Carlos, the level of detail is astounding and you really captured the moment in this picture...

alsnyder  05/23/07 @975

Great portrait. Cuts right to the quick of the matter. If there is a sneakier drug than alcohol out there, I'd like to know what it is. Nicotine would probably be a tie. Both will kill you in the end. I think your portrait has captured a man who's life was laid waste by Demon Alcohol, and it shows up in every pain filled crease and crevice on his face. His eyes look angry, but defeated and broken. Alcohol has imprisoned him and has beaten him into the ground. One can only pray that he seeks help for his addiction. Someone prayed for me, and it works.

Kharnash  06/18/07 @821

A great capture of emotion + 9

jfrancis  06/26/07 @892

Narai  07/31/07 @968

wish i could comment your whole portfolio at once, your photographs are really strong and touching. the colors and emotions you capture are inspiring and feel real. i wouldnt be able to look so deep in someones heart when he stood right in front of me, you let their distance disappear. thx for sharing
