I first "met" Art Hill through another photo website over 8 years ago and have always enjoyed his great photographs and honest comment, especially his flower and glass reflective building photographs. He is a true gentleman, and like others have said, an excellent example of a great husband, father and grandfather. … Read more

He is a true gentleman, and like others have said, an excellent example of a great husband, father and grandfather. One of these days -- lol -- we might even meet in person, in either Chicago or Boston!

Art was one of my very first contacts on flickr and I'm so glad to have him as a friend. Not only are his photos wonderful,but he is also very supportive, kind and caring!

I remember when Art first visited my photostream. I had seen his comments on other photostreams and had, on occasion, clicked his name to take a peek at his pics. Wow!

I remember when Art first visited my photostream. I had seen his comments on other photostreams and had, on occasion, clicked his name to take a peek at his pics. Wow! I quietly enjoyed them and slipped away without leaving a comment because I was so intimidated by the beautiful and professional quality of his work. Nope! Didn't want to draw his attention to my pitiful renderings by leaving a comment. And then one day, it happened...he found me. My heart pounded with the dread of it. It wasn't something directed at him personally...it was knowing the quality of his work and knowing that he was now looking at my little pics. I've encountered photography snobbery before on Flickr, but, let me tell you... Art is not about photography snobbery! He is one of the kindest, sweetest men I've met. He has been such a blessing, and his encouragement, along with that of many others, has enabled me to gather the courage to step out a little further and a little further. His sharp eye and strong sense of the beautiful have delighted me over and over again, overflowing my favorites pages to the degree that I now jokingly tell him to 'stop it'! :D The neat thing about Art's pics is that they have soul. I've seen many breathtaking shots other than his, but they often lack soul. Art has shown over and over that pictures can be beautiful and have soul! That soul you see in his pics stems from a strong beauty in his heart--loving, caring, gentleness. He is a man of character and a loving, doting, husband, father, and grandfather. He is also a wonderful friend. Thank you, Art, for all the days of flowers, sunshine, interesting perception, tours of your part of the world, and love you have shared in your photostream. You are one of the many reasons I am such a Flickr addict--my only good addiction :D

If you have never been to Chicago, then you should take a look at his photo stream, you feel as though you have been on a whistle stop tour, Arts love of flowers also shines through as does the love of his kitty's Jake and Joey....Art has some fabulous photo, all with lovely written detail...a true gentlemen, who I am … Read more
