I have followed DeVaughn for quite some time. It's only recently that I have realized what a treasure she is on Flickr. A lot of us are decent photographers and thanks to digital we can take enough pictures that we will get some right. DeVaughn is an artist that uses the camera to catch what her eye sees as a potential masterpiece. Her work, particularly her vintage images, is about as good as it gets. I feel honored when she comments on one of my photos.

Before writing down my testimonial, let me first emphasize that no words, no matter how sincere, carefully chosen, elegantly composed and well-intended they might be, can give this exceptionally-talented painter, “Nature Photography” STAR and genuine person the credit she admirably merits.

Before writing down my testimonial, let me first emphasize that no words, no matter how sincere, carefully chosen, elegantly composed and well-intended they might be, can give this exceptionally-talented painter, “Nature Photography” STAR and genuine person the credit she admirably merits. DeVaughn, Devay Marie or simply Dev, my dear Dev, is a wonderful person and a very talented photographer I’m so lucky to have met with here on Flickr! Her special gift to detect and harness beauty in nature seats her on top of the list of world’s “Nature Photography” stars. Speaking of that very unique gift which she displays so skillfully on Flickr, I do believe that she deserves no title less glowing than “The Queen of Flickr!” In doubt of that and probably think I’m exaggerating a bit? Well, just invest some time diving into the unfathomable beauties she treasures in this breathtaking photostream and you will see what I mean. Despite the fact that Dev rarely uses artificial effects most of us make use of now and then, the quality of beauty she shares is preciously 100% natural and powerful enough to take you in the most pleasant online image-sharing trip ever. Softly invading your heart, her photographic remedies then gently dab onto your inner being, lifting you up gradually to paradise-like worlds without depriving you of the right to still feel the real world around!!! Wow…what a privilege! And what a stunning combination of magical realism! Feeling entirely thrilled from the very beginning, I wondered what was the secret behind such a shining success and was more than happy when a window to stunning flashbacks opened before me and I was told the secret: A beautiful little lady hurriedly finishing her lunch to immediately go out and enjoy hours of heartfelt dialogues with her Mother: Nature. There, in a sunny spring day in the most charming Canadian countryside, our beautiful kid would still her mind by a nearby pond…forgetting the whole world and hopefully forgotten…she would happily trace God’s fingerprints in nature…her rosy cheeks being kissed and blushed by sunrays, her golden curls pushed aside by gentle breeze so that I would glimpse the innocence-radiating light-colored eyes totally fallen captive to the untold charm, the matchless tranquility and heavenly-bestowed beauty Mother Nature parades boastfully!!! That was the beginning of an inspirational journey that never stopped!!! While the majority of us, photographers, follow the eye-brain-finger-shutter route, Dev’s school starts with the heart first and then follow the rest! DEVAY MARIE IS A STAR MEANT TO NEVER FADE So If you are an artist like say a painter, a musician, a composer or a poet and looking for inspiration, or if you are just a simple man or women tired with everyday duties, the frustrating here and now and need to rest your mind and heart…if you are a good mom or dad, keen on bringing up your kids on love of nature and appreciation of inner peace, and if you are truly wishing to meet a wonderful person online, then CONGRATULATIONS! YOU’VE REACHED YOUR DESTINATION! And to you my DEAR DEV I say: I’m always so proud of you, so thankful to your friendship and always wishing you THE BERST OF THE BEST! Amen!

I know when I see DeVaughn upload a photo I am going to like it. I find the compositions she makes just stunning, and can really associate it with how I want to see images from myself. I can say Dev gets better each click she does. Keep up the good work, and never lose the passion. I hope one day we will get to exp… Read more
