I remember I have talked to Colin a few times, and honestly, he was one of the most genuine people I've talked to in a while. It seems as though you really feel something through his photos, an emotion that is hard to capture yet right there in all of his photos. I love the way I feel relaxed, saddened, and overjoyed when I look at his photos, it's really a cool feeling. I would love to get to know him better, for his photos are secretive as well.

I honestly don't know what to say. Your pictures are just so incredible, and so wonderful, to put into words. The tones you have in your pictures inspire me so much, not to mention the focusing. Basically, I just wanted to say that you inspire me, and probably the rest of the Flickrverse. Keep up the incredible ph… Read more

Colin is brilliant. Short, and simple. His photos carry such casualness and ease that I wish my photos could convey. Taking phenomenal pictures seems to come easy for him, and I look up his stream regularly to gain inspiration. He uses lighting in such magical ways...

Colin is brilliant. Short, and simple. His photos carry such casualness and ease that I wish my photos could convey. Taking phenomenal pictures seems to come easy for him, and I look up his stream regularly to gain inspiration. He uses lighting in such magical ways... Talk to him, and you will find him to be really chill. He listens to great music, has great style, and is just really a nice guy! Suffering my insomnia seems to be a characteristic we share. Colin, thank you for sharing your work. Looking at them always helps me find the strength to capture a good shot!

it was only just a little while ago that i discovered the wonders of colin's stream! i kept noticing comments here and there from him. so i figured why not check out his work. i was immediately blown away (as i'm sure most of us are). and as i recognized his brilliance, i had to tell him so. he then revealed that he is… Read more

I thought it was time to write him one of these. Colin is one of the very first contacts I added on Flickr (second, actually), and ever since I added him 3 months ago, I've constantly been amazed by his photography skills.

I thought it was time to write him one of these. Colin is one of the very first contacts I added on Flickr (second, actually), and ever since I added him 3 months ago, I've constantly been amazed by his photography skills. His photographs are just perfect! Colin is extremely creative and 100% original. When I can't think of what to do for my 365, I always visit his photostream to find inspiration and even motivation from his unique concepts, ideas and perspectives. The massive improvement he has made since his 365 is unbelievable and he deserves every bit of success and recognition he's getting for his photos. He is one of my most favorite flickrers and thought he should know that. (: His awkwardness just makes him who he is. Kudos to Colin, he is brilliant. (:

Traversing through the sunny, swampy land of Florida, I stopped at a house one day to ask for some gas (unfortunately, there was not a gas station in sight, and I was desperate).

Traversing through the sunny, swampy land of Florida, I stopped at a house one day to ask for some gas (unfortunately, there was not a gas station in sight, and I was desperate). I walked up cautiously to the door of the front home and knocked lightly on it, hoping somebody would answer. Someone did answer, and I felt my heart beat slightly more quickly as I stared at the boy in the doorway. He had slightly shaggy brown hair, full lips, and deep penetrating eyes. He was wearing a purple shirt decorated with three penguins, and a pair of aviators was threaded in his hair. He was tall and lanky; he took up much of the doorframe, and there was an immediate contrast as he looked down at me. I gulped. “Is it okay if I borrow some gas?” “Yeah, sure,” he said, with a smile. Then he looked at me again, “Wait, where are you going?” “I have no idea,” I said hesitantly. “I’ve never been to Florida and I’m just drifting aimlessly around.” “Well I have an idea,” he proposed. “How about you and I go on a trip then, and see what there is to do? There’s nothing in Florida, I swear.” “Alright,” I agreed hesitantly, looking at this stranger. I didn’t even know his name. As if sensing my anxiety, he tried to relieve my fears. “I’m Colin. And we are going to have a GREAT time.” Maybe it was a combination of naïveté and stupidity or simply blind trust—who knows?—but I believed him. So instead of getting gas, I climbed into his car, and we went off. Colin Hill thought it would be a good idea to stop in every state across the USA. In Missouri, we tackled the St. Louis Arch, and Colin almost killed us both by jumping frantically up and down in the arch, making it sway, and causing us to be kicked out. In Wisconsin, it was his brilliant idea to climb on the roof of a market to pet the cows had been placed on top of the building (we got kicked out of there too). In Nebraska, we went cow-tipping; in Las Vegas, we joined the Cirque du Soleil crew; in Louisiana, he (I refused) ate gumbo fused with only habanero peppers; in Oregon, we caught garter snakes; in Arizona, we attempted the Grand Canyon without any sort of guide or map. Eventually we had hit all fifty states and I had learned that Colin was insane—launching himself fully into any sort of endeavor he wanted, and risking his life for art. He was an artist, an adventurer, an explorer in every aspect of life. As we went, he took pictures, tens of thousands of pictures in order to capture every moment, his eyes always excited and laughing, ready for the next adventure. Once we finished the USA though, Colin wasn’t done. He wanted to go other places. We went to Europe and added to the graffiti on the Eiffel Tower. We scaled the massive Buddha in Hong Kong. We carried huge carpets in Morocco. And then we headed to Colin’s love: Japan, and he took me to the beach. We spent a day there, gathering jellyfish up into a plastic bucket to take quick Polaroid pictures, and then tossing the animals back into the sea (another challenge to death, as these jellyfish were nasty buggers). After this day, we collapsed on the sand and watched as the waves slowly spread up. I glanced over at him. “Why do you constantly risk your life? You could die doing some of these crazy things, you know.” He bit his lip and looked over at me. “I know.” “Then… why?” “Because I’m crazy,” he smirked. “And, well, if you never do it, you never know. Life is to live, and if you’re not living on the edge, there’s no point.” After he spoke, we sat and didn’t say anything. I let the waves crash on the beach, as I thought of what Colin had said. I saw Colin as a mountaineer, climbing up Mount Everest; as a scuba diver, diving down to the undiscovered depths of the ocean; an astronaut, who traveled up into space. “You know what’s best about it, though?” Colin asked suddenly. “About living your life this way?” “What?” I asked. “Finding somebody as crazy enough to go along with you,” he answered smugly. I smacked him. He told me that tomorrow we were going to go climb a volcano and play with lava. I didn’t even know that that was possible. But apparently with Colin, anything was.

Colin is probably the most talanted photographer i've ever seen. I can't wait for his new uploads cos every work is adorable and original. And i also see a lot of progress in his photos since the beginning. His photos are very interesting to look at because in each photo you can see his mood and even soul. I aprecc… Read more

I aprecciate his answers to messages,not everyone who is as famous as Colin answers messages or comments =) good luck in the future xxx

I can successfully say I sat here and looked through every single photo and video Colin has posted. Or, actually, the ones that are public. [Cause I don't know if he has any that are private. O;] Anyway, I've known Colin for about two months now and I think I already know a lot about him. I mean, how he thinks and sees… Read more

O;] Anyway, I've known Colin for about two months now and I think I already know a lot about him. I mean, how he thinks and sees the world, that is. He has grown a lot as a photographer and I believe he will go do great things, whether he agrees with me or not. I like to look at his photos for inspiration. He's opened my eyes to see everything differently and he'll open yours too. Give it a shot and add him. I promise you won't regret it.

Colin, makes the photos he sees in his head perfectly. He is one to admire, both photographically and the attire he has. He's got a great look to him and makes the world around him look great as well, with a lighthearted feeling, or with a solemn thought or emotions too large to contain in words. you … Read more

You and Hckyso. And I thought you were 'famous'. Haha, well maybe you are. But more importantly you have grown so much over that time. You take amazing photos. And each one is better and better. The self-portraits make me envious. They are always well produced and plus you are extremely photogentic. :D

I think it was...oh I definitely remember it was a shot that he couldn't divulge his secret - I was so excited with the result I couldn't even contain myself. He's got an eye like no other. He's just awesome that way.
