I have wanted to write a testimonial for Debbie for quite some time now, but have never felt like I had the words to properly express what I wanted to say about her photography. Today, the thought dawned on me that I may *never* find the words that truly express how I feel about her, so I decided I may as well just go ahead and go for it. Every day, we see so many photos here on Flickr, that when someone really stands out, the feeling of viewing their work is pure magic. A release. A brief escape from the rest of the world. That is Debbie's stream. She is a woman of few words here on Flickr, but her work doesn't need words to back it up - her photos stand completely on their own. A single shot of hers can display 100 different emotions. Then, when you look at it a day later, you find 100 more. And, the more you follow her stream, the more you see of her honest feelings, and, as you see that honesty, you feel like you really and truly know her. She takes her work seriously, but never lets it overpower her. She is constantly pushing herself to do better each and every day. She is kind, thoughtful, and can always been counted on to leave a comment that will make you smile. How refreshing is that? Every day, I so look forward to her uploads. She is an inspiration to me, and so many others!

Her finished photos rarely ever fail to evoke deep emotional responses, something I personally consider a high-point for any form of art in any medium. Debbie is bold and takes chances, and seems determined to lead the rest of us… Read more

Debbie's art is magnificent in its relevance, beauty, poignancy, and often, simplicity. Her finished photos rarely ever fail to evoke deep emotional responses, something I personally consider a high-point for any form of art in any medium. Debbie is bold and takes chances, and seems determined to lead the rest of us to new heights of creativity. I am always inspired by Debbie's work, and consider it a privilege and honor to be her flickr friend. She raises the standards for all of us, and tacitly and gently encourages each of us to do our best. What more could you ask from a sweet and trusted friend?
