Testimonials

Andy, "fotoaparatas", is an awesome artist, one of my first contact in the world of photography, has been for me an inspiration and a source of learning.. His pictures are not only images..the show a full world behind..colors, textures, mood, poetry, they're just awesome!

A blinding aura shrouds these images yielding nothing less than a glimpse at the sublime for the earnest onlooker. I say put the whole stream on loop. fotoaparatas +1 is a stylist weaving through cameras and emulsions without losing sight of his trademark stamp. A canonical photographer on flickr indeed, with Harold Bloom's understanding of the relationship between a precursor and an ephebe; from here I gaze before retreating to my own viewfinders to renter the world truly inspired.

Andy is an inspiration to me. His photostream embodies creativity, art, technique, but most of all vision and soul. As if that weren't enough, Andy is consistently generous in his comments, with a genuine warmth of spirit shining through. Thanks Andy, and keep it going! : )

Fotoaparatas is a real searcher. Sometimes magical, sometimes mysterious, sometimes just personal. He is allways searching and allways giving us something different, something better. Inspiring.

Amazing photographer & artist. His images are inspiring, triggers for new ideas, new points of view, new creations.

fotoaparatas photographs are visual story telling. Sometimes fairy tales, other times darker stories, yet always atmospheric and beautiful.

I envy everything he is. I envy that he is still a student. I envy that he can write and is a poet. I envy that he takes so beautiful pictures and it seems so effortless to him. what I envy the most, he's taken! ;))

Andy is a talented photographer and it's really nice to see how he still uses film beautifully! I adore his creative double exposures and the wonderful castle-pictures he often shows us. Also, he's a kind and helpfull person.

allright now... i'm ashamed to say it took me a while to discover all the jewels in his stream - but it's never too late. give him an analogue and a film and stand by. now, with a zenit in his hand, what more can we expect, oh more and more and more... more beauty, more hidden treasures...
