Thank you all so much for the good word.
Your wonderful comments make me going on the hard days
when I really doubt myself and my work.
Sincerely,
Darek Banasik, photographer
I continue to be drawn to your web site, anticipating new
work...enjoying and admiring anew the older pieces. Revisiting those
pieces of art intensifies my admiration for your talent.
Once again, I throughly enjoy your site, keep up the
excellent work and thanks for providing people like me the opportunity
to view your work.

I really enjoyed your photo gallery. I'm actually only through the first
two exhibits, but already I've found some favorites.

"Why has every man a conscience then? I think that we should be men first,
and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the
law, so much as for the right. The only obligation which I have a right to
assume is to do at any time what I think right."
- Henry David Thoreau, "Civil Disobedience"
zangief@nh.ultranet.com
As a fellow photographer I was impressed with your control of light
and the intensity of your subject matter.............Keep up the fantastic work and I wish
you nothing but the best.
CAROL &. FRANK HALOWELL, mrslim@pacbell.net
I think your photos are wonderfull.....
greetings from Sonja from Holland.
M v oosterwijk, oosterwi@wxs.nl
I am in total awe. Your work is easily the most original and solid body
of work I have had the pleasure of seeing. As an aspiring photographer
you have completely inspired this would be photographer. Your site is
bookmarked. I'll be back.
KevinKevin, dfb@istar.ca
Your work is interesting, I see the exhibitions numbers 1,3,7,13,
and I think that some times the manipulation is very strong and I can't see the
forms exactly, I don't know if is the computer that lost the detail,but
the photograph number 8 of the exhibition 13 it's great!!!, congatulations.........
Dr. Rafael Camarillo, wuitty@acnet.net
........as I viewed your work I was excited by its innovative, dramatic and painterly quality!
Whoever said it, is right on -- you do indeed capture the mythological and eternal woman
both in poses and coloring and your manipulation is exquisite and dare I say, sublime.
Have already bookmarked your site and will be returning to it again and again.
Thanks for the treat.
John and Joan, geldino@bellatlantic.net
Your work is very ethereal (sic) . I enjoyed

Hi, your pictures intrigue and attract . Would you tell me the secret of colouring?
Do you make it by hand or using computer? How long are you engaged in photographing?
Victor Ivanovsky, fotonis@geocities.com
I enjoyed the work and need much more time to respond. Your work is very
physical, sensual and full of feelings. I'll be back to look again soon.

Dan McCormack, JZZ8@maristb.marist.edu
The more time I spend the more compelling your work. I really like the
diptychs, pairing and sequencing.

Hi Darek! Like your homepage !
Layout very good. Are you a photographer ?
Take care, Jared
JARED IWANSKI, skybay@i-2000.com
Derek, like many before me, I enjoy your site very much. At no other
site do I see such a unique (and prolific) style. I look forward to your updates!!!!!
Barton A. Lund, bal1210@sprynet.com
there are some stunning images here. I am very impressed - I have spent
about 5 hours looking through your galleries and expect to visit again.
if I had the spare cash... but if you're ever in the Vancouver BC area to exhibit I'll be there.
blessed be

Being an artist also, I think it's safe for me to say
that we both believe the human figure to be the greatest
art of all. If Michelangelo portrayed the male figure
in its paramount beauty then you have certainly given
the female form the same passion; though your works
are in film, they are as creative and awe-inspiring as
any great works of art. Thank you for sharing.
Do you have any book out? I'd love to get a copy of one of your works.
Godfrey Akbar97@aol.com
I enjoyed looking at your images; in many ways we have similar interests and
ways to display them. I did look at the entire collection of images and think
that your work is unique and reminds of the work of Wm. Mortensen; America's
last pictorialist.
Gooh luck in opening doors, Walter
OneWalter@aol.com
image 32, exhibit 11 is perhaps one of the most exquisit shots I have seen.
you have captured the best of a woman's mood and body, the lines and the
shadow. the face and the hands tell of something hidden behing the picture.
bravo and thank you

I ran across your sight and found the images in your photo gallery very
moving. The use of shadows give the stillness of the photo a very active appearance.
Very unique and very beautiful.
Just thought I'd let you know.
Andrea Mehok, amehok@smartstation.com
You have already gotten so much good critic and I just want to say that
i agree, the pictures are so great in many ways. Never before I´ve seen
pictures with so much feeling, so great composition, so touching...
I´m out of words.... Hope to see more of it in the future.

Please continue with your work. Would be nice if you would share
with us some technical information...then again, maybe not.

Dear Mr. Banasik, Your use of light, line,color and texture are exquisite.
World class art. I am so pleased to see your love of women.
thank you.
pearl, pearl@massmed.org
I've cruised through here before, and each time I say "God, I wonder what
Darik calls this." I can see you standing there with your arms crossed,
holding your hand towards your chin, then say (with a faint smile) "I don't
know, It's --- " and you'll casually come off with something that will send
sparks through my head. Maybe you should put in a separate section of your
own reflections on some of your most favored works.
I'll go on to say that your texturing and use of color is incredible.
It seems you varied from that some in your last gallery. Any particualr reason?
and last -
What is the "goddess" for you, Darek?
SirkGordon, SirkGordon@aol.com
I am currently doing studies in photography. i came upon your web page
(great set-up by the way) and I was intrigued by your picture in exhibit
6/pic-13. What kind of lighting did you use in this wonderful picture?
Brad
RedTeyed@aol.com
love your images
especially image 4. they remind me of a modern russian
painter makelov?'s demon(s) painting. your images seemed
very worked, contain an atmosphere within them, and have
another time essence in them. but who am i?
actually i'm also an visual artist working mostly in
photography and poetry. i pay the bill by working as a graphic designer.
...good luck my fellow artist, may the stars guide you though this turbulent world.
david hirota, dhirota@west.net
everytime I think my photography is going somewhere

Hallo,
it´s a dimension in photography which has rarely been seen yet. It is
astonishing and amazing; what about digital photography? here we see what
with creativity is possible. An adventure to walk through.
Some information about the techniques would be interesting.
Hoping to see more
Yours Wilhelm

I'm a student at a college in Pennsylvania, currently studying
photography. I am doing a report on a photographer who interests me and
coming across your web page, I was immediately captivated by your
images. I think it'd be a great addition to your web page if you
provided the on-lookers with a little background knowledge of yourself
and your work.
Well... keep up the good work!
Brian T. Fitzgerald, bfitzger@eagle.ycp.edu
I certainly couldn't leave your fine pafe without expressing my appreciation.
You are most certainly a notable artist, and i thank you sincerely for
allowing me to view some of your splendid art. My appreciation extends
to the talented models that worked with you in this endeavour as well. I
also appreciate the extent of work involved in creating and maintaining
the pages which carry your art exhibition.
Again, Darek, THANK-YOU !!! As they say here in Cairns on the northeast coast of Oz

I think your pictures are very well composed and varied, it is one of the best
photo galleries I have stumbled over.
You have inspired me, and as a photographer who likes to place nudes in natural
inviroment without artificial light I think you are one of the best.
I have been looking at IR photos at several places, and I especially fancy outdoor
nudes, but to be sincere, its sometimes look like cadavers, not alive at all,
yours look very alive to me, and the wemen have thoughts and feelings of there own.
Thank you for letting me enjoy your fine work, take care Darec

I liked your display of pictures. You really help the viewer go
through the pictures as fast or as slow as they wish.Thanks. It's very
easy to peruse through your works. Do you do your enhancing with only
photographic techniques, or do you graphically work on them? I'm
learning from the graphical side, but I'm interested in changing the
image from the photography side, too.

My wife is an artist and I just showed her two galleries of your photos.
Her comment upon seeing the first photo was WOW!!!
and repeated that comment as we went a long.
Your photographs of nudes are the best I have ever seen. Extremely
artistic and exotic. Poses are unlike any other nudes I have seen. Good
for you. Difficult to tell if it is a photograph or a painting. Are the
colored ones black and white and then hand colored? The colors are
fantastic. My compliments to you. Thanks for sharing your photos with us.
Bill william t barrett, bear@whidbey.com
I found your sight on "ethereal" while surfing, and followed the link
listing your nudes. I say, those were some of the most artistic and
beautiful that I have ever seen. The female nude is the most beautiful
examples of artistic form, and it is so easy to do, and the subject matter
is more varied than any other painters pallette. The problem is that the
art is so simple, and it is so easy to please the vast audience that nudes
are rarely done with an eye for true artistry. Congratulations.

incorporate some of your ideas into my work. To me that speaks very highly
of your work.

Vadim Budin, vadyka@webspan.net
There are a number of really nice photos in the collection;
I especially liked the use of tones and colors in spots. Some of the
photos are almost Picasso-esque, while others reach way down deep-- from
the primitive, the ancient, the dream-world.
I am not an artist, so I don't know how to express my appreciation of your art.
Suffice it to say that it is wonderful to find someone who
knows the difference between the sublime vs. the profane.
Your art shows a sensitivity (and at times a playfulness) which honors and
understands your subject.

Thanks
Olivier Debre, debre@ipnl.in2p3.fr
Your exhibit of photographs is intriguing, to say the least.
Your artwork completely fascinates me.
From the way they bring out the true beauty of the nude artform
to the unique lighting style, your compiled photographs create
a fantastic gallery.
I wonder if you have a collection of these photographs in book form.
I would be quite interested.
Surely, your internet gallery is not the only forum which
you have distributed these photographs :)
Also,
have you used any other mediums to display your talent?
ie. sculpting, animated pictures, music videos :), short movies, painting ?
Thanks,
Nick Rosenstrauch ( SuNcHiLd2@aol.com)
I am speechless. . . . Having experienced last night the creative
process which marks the beginning of such stunning, powerful and
profoundly moving images and then bathing in the river of your
imagination today through the images you have revealed here, an
awakening has occurred in my own imagination that has been dead and numb
for several months. I am grateful for the experience of your creative
mind and soul.

admire your work.

I just happened upon your site while doing a search on portraiture.
Of the work I've seen on the web, yours is among the most impressive.
The manipulation of the images adds something without appearing contrived or
kitsch. The composition and lighting was also consistently well done.
Just thought you were due the compliment.

You have some wonderful photographs very elegantly presented. You're
comment about going on in the face of doubt reminds me of a comment I
read from Sarah Moon about trying to find something to photograph,
walking around and around the model, trying to keep the model from
feeling her doubts, and generally wondering just what the hell she's
going to do this time to produce. I go through the same, and it really
is the comments from others that keep you going. Sorry that I don't
have an address to leave; this is my first hour on the Net, and i don't
think I have an address yet! I'll be back to see more of your fine
work; you can be assured of that! Ron Hildebrand, Reno

Your work is what I have had pictured in my mind as the essence of
beautiful nude art. Thanks for sharing your impressive talent!
David DeMontigny, ddemonti@prairie.NoDak.edu
The nude female form is one of the most beautiful images in the world.
Unfortunately, to many times these images are distorted and over-sexed.
In my quest to find tasteful, artistic images of female figures, I was
caught up in trip wires and pitfalls of sex and pornography. While
there is no definate line between nude art, erotic art, and pornography,
and I have no place saying what is right or wrong.
When I finally stubbled upon your art I was relieved.
You have manage to capture the essence of the female form.
You have shown us their more of their sensuality and less of their sexuality.
Thank you!

illusory sketches drenched with flesh and bone, figure and form.
The patterns re-create themselves in simple, images that in turn
are once again (as they had been found) complex, intricate, vast and
ultimately fleeting...yet traces of them leave their residue on hungry,
yearning consciousnesses and they are glad they stopped by...peace friend

Your work is what I have had pictured in my mind as the essence of
beautiful nude art. Thanks for sharing your impressive talent!
David DeMontigny, ddemonti@prairie.NoDak.edu
In my quest to find tasteful, artistic images of female figures, I was
caught up in trip wires and pitfalls of sex and pornography. While
there is no definate line between nude art, erotic art, and pornography,
and I have no place saying what is right or wrong, I would like to say
that your work is what I have been searching for.
Nicholas Smith, nws101@psu.edu
Let me take the opportunity of saying what an excellent gallery this is.
Keep up the good work!

...these are in every sense of the term, visually compelling
images. thank you for the tour. as somone hwo struggles w/the problems
working in this genre presents it helps to see someone else succeeding

You've got some really beautiful work, the images are dream worthy and I hope you're
getting the kind of exposure that your art deserves. Excellent use of light and even
more important you use the darkness exquisitely. I'll stop now.
Thanks,

Dear Darek,
I've just spent about the last 30 minutes browsing your website, which
is unusual for me. I am floored. Your work is outstanding!
I am an amateur photographer myself, and your work just shows me how far
I have to go!
Scott, bedroom@sagewolf.com
I just had to stop and let you know that I think your creativity
with different moods in your photographs amaze me. Good work!
ggh@btigate.com
I find your photos very interesting. One thing that strikes me about it
is that it seems almost painted or drawn. I was wondering is this an
effect you acheve through developing or computer manipulation.
I like your work. It has a very dark and sureal quality to it.
Ken Poirier, Poirier@ix.netcom.com
I love your artwork! Thanks for giving me the chance to view it.

Thanks for displaying your fine work.

Excellent images!
You bring a resonant and refreshing tone that I hope we see emulated by
more of the other 'artists' on the net.
Andres, iam@Alaska.NET
My brother and I appreciated your nudes very much, but we think they
would be better if they could be made bigger, like as big as our screen,
so that we could get good printouts of them to look at afterwards.
Kenneth E. Martin, marymartin@provide.net
As a serious amateur whose preferred subject is the nude figure, it
was with no small degree of pleasure that I discovered your website.
I am highly impressed with the overall caliber of your work, and as
for individual images, I am hard-pressed to select a favorite, as all
are of impeccable quality.
Keep up the fine work. Your work is an inspiration to my own creative efforts.
Best wishes,

I love your art. I'm just some high school kid who was surfing one
day, and had the good fortune to stumble on to your work, so nothing I
can say would do it justice but keep up the good work and where do you
get the ideas for these poses do you use live models or is this all your
minds eye.
John Mitchell, gammara@mail.geocities.com

Beautifull stuff Darek.
You have captured an essence lacking in most portraits of woman.
Love your technique.
Not so abstractas to obscure the figure and formand lovellines of the subject .
You have allowed them to be women as well as art. Thank you.

Your gallery of pix is REALLY nice.
Is there any possibilities to buy those masterpieces as posters or even as normal photos
to be enlarged and put to frames.
