Finsmal’s stream offers us a gallery wherein we can lose ourselves – gazing into myriad images, be they abstractions or representational. I have found at times I have spent nearly an hour looking through works and yet not even left a comment – the art speaks over the FLICKR obligation to fave and comment. There is SO much inspirational work here, and I shan’t keep you from venturing forth by continuing to wax rhapsodic. This is a true and pure artist, and I am honored to see and be seen by him.

Mike was one of my earliest "finds" on flickr, the first photos where I exclaimed "wow!", the first photographer that opened my eyes to my own world a little wider. Mike truly has an artist's eye and passion, offering us nearly daily gifts of color, texture & composition. Whether his subject is graffiti on a boxcar, an urban street surface, abstracted flower, or a shiny car... he consistenly and thoughtfully stays true to his style and vision, regardless of how many people happen to see a particular shot or how many "awards" have been handed out. Thanks, Mike for your inspiring work, sense of humor, and prolific stream of artistry!

I like your pictures so much. There is so many I like that I could say too many often: beautiful, nice shot, wow! I begin to be speechless (no, no, I'm not bored) about what I see. So... I prefer to offer you a testimonial to say that I appreciate your work. By the way, sorry for my english. I hope you understood… Read more
