i love how you don't let things hold you back. With what little room you have in your flat, you always end up getting a good shot with your camera. Your photos are creative because you have a good eye and you take the time to think about the shot before you do it. You know where to put the subject to make the photo look interesting and you know your angles. You use the things you love such as cameras and cats and end up making photos that not many people would think of. most people would just go outside with their camera not even realizing that there was art right in front of them in their house that they could have seen...but you see the beauty that surrounds you and lives with you. thats so interesting. Your portraits are great too, but I just love how you "see" the shot...whether its in your head or whether your right there in front of it. you also have good photoshop skills. the shots you decide to put on flickr are always stunning and perfect to me. you know what youre doing here and i love that. you see unique faces too and i like how you bring out the detail and show people (especially the elderly) how special they really are. you get to know them and their personalities. even if theres some fear in it, youll get past it because you want that shot. you have that drive that makes you such a great artist. you know your craft very well. im glad that i know the elusive recluse behind the photos. it makes me feel lucky to have been your friend, even if we end up not talking to eachother in the future. dont stop creating and dont ever be hard on yourself about who you are..because youve got something about you that i admire and i dont exactly know what that word is...but i think you get the idea. i should have written one of these things a long time ago, but was always worried it wouldnt look right. now i don't care if it doesnt look as good as the others because you deserve another testimonial. you are an amazing artist to me, and probably are to many others too. don't forget that.

It must call on so many emotions I have felt and that so many of have suffered, but it is not weak, there is pride in it, giving me hope and faith that we can get through it re… Read more
