Though I know Jean-Marc only from Flickr and have never met him in real life (no wonder, since we live continents and oceans apart), I feel we share a very similar view about *Life, Universe and Everything*. It's a pleasure to see, there still are open-minded, clear-thinking people in this muddled, befuddled, consumption-oriented world, where lies, half-truths and cock-and-bull stories are much preferred to the hard facts and substantiated evidence, and where people thinking with their own heads are a dying breed. Besides being a fellow geek, he's also an outstanding photographer - versatile in every circumstance. His photos, whether of landscape, animals, people or street-shots are all little stories in themselves.

I can't remember the first time I came across Digit-Ized's work, but I do remember being struck with awe when I saw his picture of the little girl holding a puppy. In this one capture he caught pure, sweet joy and the very essence of the tactile warmth of life that makes me tick. I became a fan and an admirer. He … Read more

I can't remember the first time I came across Digit-Ized's work, but I do remember being struck with awe when I saw his picture of the little girl holding a puppy. In this one capture he caught pure, sweet joy and the very essence of the tactile warmth of life that makes me tick. I became a fan and an admirer. He claims to not be an artist, but I beg to differ. When I view his pictures... I see art. I find him inspirational and I try to emulate his use of this medium. We are in a couple flickr groups together and whether we chat in a group discussion or he leaves a comment on one of my pictures, I am always left touched by his kindness and warmth. I peruse his photostream, comment on his work and try to get to know him a little better... Someone who finds this much beauty in life is someone I want to know! I would gladly share a bottle of wine with you Digi!

I met Jean-Marc when he added me to his contact list (which is pretty short compared to other flickr-uses) and sent me a mail, that he liked the way I describe myself ("not much to say about me, except I'm glad and love my family"). This was so stunning for me, that I really was thinking a lot about him. It's a seldom … Read more

I met Jean-Marc when he added me to his contact list (which is pretty short compared to other flickr-uses) and sent me a mail, that he liked the way I describe myself ("not much to say about me, except I'm glad and love my family"). This was so stunning for me, that I really was thinking a lot about him. It's a seldom gift to find someone who understands this way to look at yourself, who understands this kind of statement. Soulmates are rare. He is a great photographer, and he knows that, but he would never admit that. This is the part of his personality I love. Glad I met you, Jean-Marc.
