Subject: Fwd: Your photos
Renata,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am a photographer too.
I am currently starting up a small local stock photo
agency over here in Norway. But I haven't done anything
like what you are doing since I studied photography years
and years ago! Someday......
I have not heard of the painting with light technique. Can
you explain some time when you get a chance? I guess
we are isolated over here concerning those things.
Anyway, they were all beautiful!
I will be looking forward to seeing your new site. Please
let me know.

Renata:
I like your new site. Of course I recognize some of your images. Some have the
quality of a watercolor painting. Very delicate and soft. One with the
flowers in the foreground has similar qualities to the infrared color film
that I use.
Can I phone you to say hello?

Your work is mindblowing.You have captured
the "virtual" sensuality of
electronic art....I can not think of any better way of saying it.

Hi!
Your works at http://www.virtualcolony.com/renatar/
are truly
wonderful. I just love them all, but "Towards the Sky",
"Tender Suffering" and "Many Lives, Many Faces" really
give me something bigger than life... Thank you so much!

Hello!!!
I've seen some of your work and I have
to say you are a wonderful
photographer. I've always enjoyed photography, and it was a pleasure to see
such remarkable images.
Also, I would like to add that it is quite surprising to see somebody
else with the
name Renata.
That is my name as well, and I have met only few with the same
name.
What nationality are you? Please write me back if possible. ...........
Thank you, hope to hear from you soon!

Subject: Re: Could I quote your words?
Renata,
Thank you for taking the time to write back to me. This is soon weird it is
like writing to myself...lol...anyway ...of course you could use my quote! I
would love to have your website address.
It is strange cause your paintings struck a familiar chord
with me. They have
a dream like quality, but at the same time have an earthy sensuality about
them. The color choices and content in "Quiet Moments" and "Tender Suffering"
reminded me of Georgia O'keefe paintings who happens to be a favorite artist
of mine.
I am collector of anything that has to do with angels
and saints so your work
called "Approaching Heaven's Gate" and "Messenger" were of keen interest to
me. I would love to know how I could obtain a calendars, postcards, and
greeting cards of your work. I would love to have a calendar that contains
works such as "Heavens Gate" or "Welcome to the Travelers of. Multiverse" and
of course anything doing with an angel or saint.
Another thing I found interesting about the above works was the women in them
resembled each other and resembled someone who seems vaguely familiar to
me....Very strange indeed....I am not an artist, but if I was those would be
the kind of paintings, photos, or drawings I would want to produce. I just
love your work!
Anyway if you want to use my quote you can say Renata from Idaho....sorry not
from NY....probably would sound better though....LOL.

Dear Renata.
..............
I have a passion for art and in particular photography.
I find your work particularly
stimulating .....................
Yes I would like to see much more of your work. I deal
a lot with
images, in my teaching as we try to inspire our students in this way.
The majority of them come from disadvantaged backgrounds and it is
slightly more difficult to creatively inspire them. They are entrenched
in their own rigid form of performance. So we use images to show them
that they can break out of this mould. They also struggle with colour.
I hope you have all the information you need, If not I will be glad to
send you more.
Cheers...

Hi Renata!,
I believe I do remember you, it seems like ages ago though.
I finally had the chance to view your work, (or shall I say passion)
and I was thoroughly impressed, I would love to see the originals
some day. I have also introduced your art to my wife and some friends
already, they too enjoyed your imagery.
I believe you are a true artist, ..........., you seem to have immersed your
self
in the art world.

Subject: Hi from Lithuania!
Dear Renata,
I am writing in connection to yours pictures. I had the opportunity to see
some of them. For example, the pictures from Cyberist Hall collection and
also nude studies of men.....
I was surprised, that one of my friends was a model in some pictures from Cyberist
Hall collection.
The world is so small ! The pictures, which I saw are grate !
I like them so much.
It is so interesting how the ideas to show the world that way are
coming?
I would like to write about me. I live in Lithuania. This is
small country
from the Baltic states... Thank you that you are making so interesting pictures.
Best regards.
Jurate.

Dear Renata:
How are you? Thought I would invite you to exhibit one
of your wonderful
digitally-manipulated images in my gallery. It's strictly non-commercial
and for those of us who are working with digital manipulation as an art
form. If you're interested, please send me your Website URL, so I can
take
a look, choose an image, then load it into my gallery. If you don't have a
Website, maybe I can go to Virtual Colony, and pick up an image there, if
there's no conflict between me exhibiting one of your images that's
currently on exhibit at Virtual Colony. Focus Gallery can be seen at:

Dear Exhibitor:
Thank you very much for exhibiting your work in Focus Gallery. I think
it's one of the best on-line galleries around to showcase digital
manipulation as an art form, and the quality/concept of your image has
contributed to its success. I've received numerous accolades from
around the world about its presentation and content. Thanks again.

Hello,
Your mail came to me as I was writing to my agent in Germany.
Very impressive. Bright, bold and surreal, yet has saintly-spiritual
qualities with your trademark stamped all over it.
If I could make a comment though, it took about 4 minutes to download
the gay-lesbian files and about 3
minutes for heavens gate. Are they jpeg files and in rgb format?
.....
Peace and Love .....
