Marissa.. hmm.. let me put her this way.. Marissa is one of the most gifted, creative, insane (in the good way), and all together amazing people I know. I don't know who I'd have grown up as if I didn't have her as my best friend through childhood. She's one of those girls who you look at and you don't think, you KNOW… Read more

Marissa.. hmm.. let me put her this way.. Marissa is one of the most gifted, creative, insane (in the good way), and all together amazing people I know. I don't know who I'd have grown up as if I didn't have her as my best friend through childhood. She's one of those girls who you look at and you don't think, you KNOW, "this girl is going to be something famous." Not only is she an INCREDIBLE painter, she's a skilled dancer, a great historical interpreter, an unbelievable photographer, and the best friend that anyone can ask for. I can't say for sure what Marissa is going to be when she grows up, but I know that because she's so good at whatever she puts her mind to, she'll be someone who makes a difference in this world. I love her more than fresh baked chocolate cookies and ice cream cake (and Marissa knows that means I love her ALOT.) Keep doing exactly what your doing! And I want tickets to your first art show! (: Love, Liv

She's teeming with a buoyant, cheerful energy that is highly contagious. The beauty she captures and filters through her own personality is so captivating and launches you into this whole other exquisite dimension. Everything is so pure and honest, I've never seen her try to be something else than what she is. ah, y… Read more

Where do I begin? I can't decide whether i should focus on Marissa's incredible composition and technique or should I start with her amazing ability to capture the moment. I think her spunky attitude and "bloody brilliant" brain are something that defines her and makes her the very person she is. I don't know her th… Read more

Where do I begin? I can't decide whether i should focus on Marissa's incredible composition and technique or should I start with her amazing ability to capture the moment. I think her spunky attitude and "bloody brilliant" brain are something that defines her and makes her the very person she is. I don't know her that well, but from what I can tell. I think she is a swell character. Someone definitely worth the time to get to know. With my highest regards, Joe.

Marissa's photographs are proof that she has existed in another world in another time. Her ideas are brilliantly executed and the color in her pictures are divine.

Marissa is amazing! Not just as a photographer but as a person as well...so genuine and beautiful and it really translates into her work. People aren't defined by what they do, what people do are defined by who they are. Marissa's photos are beautiful and talented because that's who she is. One of the funniest girls I … Read more

Her skills for funny youtube videos basically makes my life! much love!

If you don't love her and her pictures...you should!!!! Look at her photostream and you will immediately IMMEDIATELY fall in love. Do it!!!!!!!! marissa, it's time for an update of your testimonial. why? because it's not long enough. haha. :) so um somehow she also manages to get perfect colors in her pictures every single time she uploads. jealooouus!!! :D lol. kidding! a little. but ohhh my god i love this girl so much that i can't even describe it. if you don't, BOOOO you lose. :)

update 3: i needed to say this. when marissa first was getting into flickr, her edited photos with the textures and the great concepts were fantastic- so inspiring! now she's taken a different route with her photos. a more natural, focused approach. and i think this definitely suits her as well! texturized, natural, … Read more

update 3: i needed to say this. when marissa first was getting into flickr, her edited photos with the textures and the great concepts were fantastic- so inspiring! now she's taken a different route with her photos. a more natural, focused approach. and i think this definitely suits her as well! texturized, natural, focused, whatever, i think marissa can excel at whatever she captures :) kk. here i go. so Marissa aka charminglybohemian as most of you flickrites know her as. i met marissa almost 3 years ago now when i came to a new school. terrified, freshly hurt by former 'friends' and extremely shy. she immediately talked to me and included me in her small but tight group of friends. soon, it began to feel like i had known her for years, not just a few weeks. she is definitely her own person. you can see that right away. she chops all of her hair off confidently and with a smile, while most girls are hiding behind Rapunzel long locks. i envy her style in clothing and how she can pull off anything (she probably just laughed at that, but its TRUE!) so back in may 2008, she told me about this awesome site called flickr. so she persuaded me to join and i did. i realized i loved the site and it became a part of my everyday routine. i will never be as good as marissa in photography, but i dont really want to be. i like watching take her photos and seeing the finished projects. the pictures are unlike anything and im sure if i tried to be like her, they would just suck. now that she just got the CANON REBEL, you better watch out flickrites. be prepared to be BLOWN AWAY. someday, this girl, me and a.devine are going to rule the world with our creative abilities...just you wait! marissa=amazing amazing= love :)

Marissa is soo talented and I love everything she uploads. I can't wait to see what she'll put up next. I'm so touched by all the wonderful things she has to say to and all of her wonderful comments she leaves me. She's also sweet and the nicest person on flickr for sure.

Marissa is a truly beautiful girl and harnesses such incredible emotion in her photos- something many people only wish they could do! Every single one of her photos seems effortlessly amazing, and even though it annoys me because i could spend ages trying to achieve Marissa's level of perfection in my photography and not even get close, it doesn't matter because that is exactly what flickr is about: Marissa isn't just a beautiful face with bags of talent, she's more than that. She's an inspiration to myself and countless other flickr users, and without people like her flickr would be utterly meaningless. and THAT's what makes her the incredible artist that she is =) -Mimi

Wow. 'charminglyBohemian. Let me tell you a story. I found your stream months ago. I commented a couple times, and moved on. I was rather busy at the time you see.

Wow. 'charminglyBohemian. Let me tell you a story. I found your stream months ago. I commented a couple times, and moved on. I was rather busy at the time you see. But when I had time over the holiday break, I made it a priority to add some more contacts. You were one of the first people that I came too! I love your photography dearly. It's so groundbreaking. Remember. Someday. There will be a people bokeh revolution. :p

Well lets see, where do I even begin?? Marissa's photos are not only unique, they are also very fun and tell a story. I think this makes her a good photographer. Because I mean, anyone can just pic up a nice camera and take a pretty picture, but when you can tell a story with only one shot, then you're on to somethi… Read more

Because I mean, anyone can just pic up a nice camera and take a pretty picture, but when you can tell a story with only one shot, then you're on to something. I think Marissa has a real knack for taking some sweet photos, and thats why I am such a fan! Keep up the good work young lady and keep doing what you love!
