They were amazing and all I could think about was trying to do some like them. Then I came across the photostream of "Lightbox2008". Little did I know what a true genius he was. All I knew was his shots spoke to me everytime I saw one. Then he would say the kindess things and encouraged me to do better. I have learned through him that people on Flickr are not just contacts, they are are these amazing friends. I count him as a blessing in every way. His shots are inspiring and he is a wonderful giving person who I count as a "one in a million". The world is a brighter place because he is in it.........Alice

Alan is an amazing photographer, he has a great eye for capturing beauty and turning it into something magical and charming. It is indeed obvious that he is skilled with his camera, I tease him and call him the "Bokeh Master", for they are masterpieces in their own right and his flower macros are indeed beautiful! Viewing his images always puts a smile on my face and I will forever look forward to his postings. Secondly and in my opinion most importantly Alan is an amazing person, his kindhearted nature, wit,charm and humor (english I must add) is always a true pleasure. I always look forward to his gracious,witty and endearing commentary. I have learned new expressions (english I must add again) that make me smile with joy! Alan is a true gem to have as a friend and contact, I wish him all the happiness that this life has to offer, and if you ever have the pleasure to have him as a contact, you will see what a gem he truly is and appreciate him as much as I do. Thank you Alan firstly for your kind warm heart, secondly for your talent and thirdly for your charm and wit, your character and talent is outstanding and I thankyou for your friendship. With the warmest of Regards Kim Menzel

Alan is one person that I admire here at Flickr. He has that gentle and kindred spirit as reflected by the comments he left in my stream. A man full of passion on the things he does, his flower macros are the reflections of that. Looking at his images can just change someone's mood. It comes with the feeling of cheerfulness when you are down, serenity when the soul is troubled, joy when there is sadness. I believe that we just don't capture those images but we give life to it and convey it to our viewers and this is what Alan's photos are. As a contact, he is faithful and sincere, I remember when I was away for a month and have a hard time with slow internet and cannot comment on my contact's postings, he was one of those who keep an interest to my work, regardless of. Thank you Alan. I wish you the very best in whatever you do in life. God richly bless you my dear friend..........Emma
