For those that don't know Gary....you have missed knowing one of the greatest masters of photography that I know........He turned into an instant friend on flickr and more now a personal friend. I don't know how others feel but he is quick on his toes and ALWAYS two steps ahead of you.........His teaching skills are unbelievable and like others say to keep training your eye each and every day....It blows me away whenever he is showing me how to brush up a picture and he ask " did you put that in automatic"? I just hope one of these days I can be talented just half as much as he has where could help others the way he has helped me and sooo many others......Not only a master of art, he will study you and learn many things about you that you may have not know for yourself.............can't wait to make that trip to Colorado to meet this person many people only dream they could be............................thanks Gary for evreything............

Wow, what a person, what a friend, what a teacher, what a photographer he is. When you have been meaning to write a few words about a person for so long it is hard to put down the essence of kindness in just a short tale of admiration. When you see Gary’s shots, you see the real life of kindness and love through his e… Read more

Wow, what a person, what a friend, what a teacher, what a photographer he is. When you have been meaning to write a few words about a person for so long it is hard to put down the essence of kindness in just a short tale of admiration. When you see Gary’s shots, you see the real life of kindness and love through his eye’s. The eye of his heart, mind, soul and lense. In his words…his “mind’s eye”. If you want to learn, he’s there. If you need a friend, you just might find one here. He inspires to never give up and to tell the story of yourself through a glimmer of beauty that you might see. I find that Gary can read photos all to well. Sometimes it’s scary that he knows exactly what my shots mean to me. Photography is from the heart. You can tell if a person loves what they are doing and sharing. Gary shines through his experiences to reach out and touch those who want to grow and become. Truthful and meaningful comments he gives, suggestions and joy he spreads. It is such a pleasure to know you. I am so glad we became flickr friends. You have touched my heart as you have so many others. A good person and an inspiration. Who could ask for anything more? Hugs and Blessings my friend, Andrea

The quality & range of Gary's photos are matched by his generosity in support of other photographers, no matter where in the world they are, or what their style is. I've had many helpful & encouraging words from Gary & they've made me look at my photos with a different eye, to see what might be changed or improved either in post-processing, or 'out in the field' next time. His words are, of course, backed up by his collection of photographs that run across many styles & subjects, but always with their own 'thousand words' that can tell a story, or illustrate a technique. I like the way his expertise never gets in the way of his enthusiasm for photography itself, be it his own work, or his active encouragement of others. If it could be guaranteed that all teachers had his views on "shooting & sharing", I might even look into photography classes some day... If not, then I look forward to many more words & pictures from him. ~ better than any dull textbook!

Gary has been a true friend and mentor to me as I am still a beginner and learning the craft of photography. He has a great deal of experience and understanding of photography and has shared a lot of it with me and others here in Flickr. I have learned a lot about composition, editing, and trying to really see what a photo is all about. He has a great understanding of what works both technically and artistically. He has suggested "assignments" to experiment with different editing and cropping, suggested new ways of looking at my photos to make them better -and it definitely has helped me improve! Thank you Gary for all your input and encouragement! I am trying to find my "mind's eye" as you said. Your tag line "keep shooting and sharing" personifies what is so great about flickr- making friends, shooting and sharing with others and meeting some really nice folks like you along the way.
