Hold still is one sweet contact. Always there with a kind word and great support when I am down. As a photographer, I enjoy seeing his world through his eyes. He has some of the most beautiful country scenes that I have seen and I love the flower and bird shots.Well lets just say that whatever he photos, Holdstill does it well. I have learned alot from looking at his photos . I also love the framing that you do. Some very simple but yet effective ! Thank You for sharing your world with us !

It's hard to believe I'm the first one to write a little something about Hold still's wonderful photostream, hope I can do it justice. I don't recall the exact picture that brought me to his site but I do remember trying to imitate his style and even posting a barn shot giving him credit for the inspiration. He has given me advice, compliments and lots of laughs. Not only is his photography great but his flickr personality is one of respect and wisdom. I've viewed his entire stream, look forward to every new photo. I covet his enthusiastic comments and strive to earn an approving nod. Now I realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the most important thing is that I love my work; but it's very nice to know I can trust some special contact/friends on flickr...and one of them is Richard. Thank you kind sir for sharing your photos, advice and humor. I am honored to have you as a flickr friend ;-)
