I am still waiting for his next upload like everyone else! Wishing all the best for the rest of his life! Greetings from New York City

I love Mike's work! The first time I saw his stream, I didn't believe my eyes! I kept thinking how those images were possible. Such accuracy for striking images and breathtaking compositions! His photos have a unique point of view and fantastic tones. He is an inspiration and I wait anxiously for his next photos. Al… Read more

Thanks Mike! ;-)

My dear Mike, I thought I had to write a few words to tell you once again how much I love you as a photographer and as a person too. Your photographs are absolute wonders ; they are what I’ve always dreamt to do. You’re so talented ! Each of your shots tells a story and makes me dream. Wandering in your stream is like… Read more

My dear Mike, I thought I had to write a few words to tell you once again how much I love you as a photographer and as a person too. Your photographs are absolute wonders ; they are what I’ve always dreamt to do. You’re so talented ! Each of your shots tells a story and makes me dream. Wandering in your stream is like discovering a new tale at each page. Please, be proud of what you’ve done, you really deserve it, and never stop taking shots : to give up your passion would mean to kill a little part of you. You once asked me if I was a fairy ; I wish it could be true : One of the first things I would love to do would be to visit you, and the second one to have a photo lesson with you ! :-) You made me two wonderful presents : the first one has been to be my friend, the second one … is our secret ;-) Thousands of kisses and hugs from your "Happy Bunny".

In a world where the amount of people taking impressive photographs has increased greatly Mike's world really stands out as exceptional and proffessional. I could draw a likeness between Mike's images and those of Michael Kenna (who has been the biggest influence on my own photography) but in fact Mike's photo's sta… Read more

In a world where the amount of people taking impressive photographs has increased greatly Mike's world really stands out as exceptional and proffessional. I could draw a likeness between Mike's images and those of Michael Kenna (who has been the biggest influence on my own photography) but in fact Mike's photo's stand up to scrutiny as totally induvidual and powerful alongside these, both in terms of the photographs themselves and in terms of his masterful printing and post production. I highly recommend anyone interested in qaulity black and white imagery to look at Mike's site, I suspect in a few years you will find Mike's prints are going to be worth far more than they are currently being sold for, as soon as I can afford one myself, I am getting one! Good luck to you mike, and thanks for inspiring me so much.

I stumbled into Mike's world by accident and found the very essence of what defines great art for me: an ability to capture the ephemerality of the moment and the ability of sharing his expanded vision. His work defines the light and shade of life, mitigates the dark, literally enlightens. And in addition he manages to… Read more

I stumbled into Mike's world by accident and found the very essence of what defines great art for me: an ability to capture the ephemerality of the moment and the ability of sharing his expanded vision. His work defines the light and shade of life, mitigates the dark, literally enlightens. And in addition he manages to juxtapose the evanescent of time with a strength of form that is breathtaking. You are a genius and an inspiration. Thank you for opening my eyes and literally expanding my universe.

It is my pleasure to write a testimonial about Mike Gray. He is one of very, very few living photographers that I would call great.

It is my pleasure to write a testimonial about Mike Gray. He is one of very, very few living photographers that I would call great. His talent is overwhelming; his photographs are intimate, instinctive, and imbued with a profundity that is enriching to one's very soul and that is because this is, itself, the provenance of Mike's work. One can see that his photography has been engendered by a beautiful and rich spirit that has found its bliss and its expression through his work. His photographs bear testimony to his long devotion to photography, his passionate attention to detail, and his assiduousness in the field. He has paid his dues and it shows in his work. His lovely and elegant work is very truly food for the soul. And I am so thankful that there are people like Mike Gray bringing so much beauty and meaning into this world. Godspeed you Mike!

Mike Gray’s understanding of light and tones is phenomenal; his technical ability with the camera resonates through the images producing not just photographs but works of art! There is a great spiritual sense within the imagery. Whether he is taking a photograph of a landscape, building or anything we pass by everyday he forces the viewer to see it in a new and unique way. With every picture he uploads he leaves me breathless and in awe, respecting greatly the time and effort he put into his photography.

Every time I feel I am doing good work, I view his images and realize I am still wading in the child's pool. Sit back , view the stream and marvel at the grandeur.

As a huge fan of black and white photography, I am awed, amazed and inspired by darkenergy777's work. He has a tremendous talent for composition, but an even more awe-inspiring talent for tones and lighting.
