Phenominal work. Excellent shots with lighting. People are so real, you captured all fear and pain in faces.

Great work, Ed! I feel you are definately on the right track with your work. Good variety of styles, locations, lighting and detail. Your work shows your diversity and how you are able to capture the moment(s). My favorite is the Armored Silouette.

Very impressive! What kind of camera do you use? I especially like the ones with the tank at sunrise

Yo Ed, The only disappointing thing I can think of is there are only have a small portion of your fantastic world wide photographs available for our viewing pleasure! The variety of objects, human and otherwise is really an ecclectic mix of your life and travels. Then to be able to capture them in such clarity. Your attention to detail, the ability to capture real life poignant moments along with the funny ones is simply astounding for you to have learned by self education is amazing. Keep up the good work, Brother!

Ed, these pictures are awesome. I'm not just saying that because you're a good friend of mine, but because they truly are magnificent. You capture true life in these photos. You're not just taking pictures or showing different places, but you capture the emotion in things just as if you had painted them by hand. I'm not a real artistic person, but I know that when a photograph can take your breath away and truly move you, it means a lot. You're pictures are truly artistic and you have an incredible talent here. :o)

Ed, Super photography. Got any cave or tunnel pictures. You have inspired me to get back into the photography hobby. Keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

I really wanted to see your work, but when I click on a thumbnail picture, it doesn't enlarge as I expected it would; therefore, I can't tell enough from the thumbnails to comment very well.

Ed, these photos are great. Eric told me that you took excellent photos, but these are amazing. I make sure to keep checking back for new photos. Keep up the great work.

Ed The photos you chose for your gallery are great Bev really liked the one of the train tunnel and the lights on the water that you did you are definitely on your way Bud, keep on shooting and hope to see more of your work We will have to get together when I get back from over there again,I already told you National Geographics would be stupid not to take you on. Keep up the good work and see you on the flip.

Incredible!!! That is the only word I can think of at the moment. Your images are so vivid and capture the moment perfectly, whether it is a lazy winding creek or a war torn building you are able to make your viewer feel what you saw. I have no doubt of your future success.

Great pictures Ed, I still love the one of the tank in the sunset. I'm starting to work on my photography a bit now, and hopefully one day I'll be half as good as you are!!

Dear Mr. Rivera. You take excellent pictures, I was wondering if you would accompany my wife and I to Tennessee this coming fall when we renew our vows, I would love for you to take photos of course, but we would gladly pay. sincerely, your old pal, Mac
