Ever since I was first fortunate enough to stumble upon Jeff's sublime images here on flickr I have been never less than awed & inspired by the deep underlying beauty he finds in the everyday. It is a quest that I share with him when I wander with my lens, failing mostly, but loving the journey always. On days like to-day (it's raining here, dull & overcast) when my creative juices are almost drained, just a short excursion through Jeff's magnificent photostream makes me want to go straight out there into the rain & try again...

The Film Director, Frank Darabont , once said: "Visual storytelling of one kind or another has been around since cavemen were drawing on the walls". This quote got me thinking about the body of work of iamnotanumber8885. His photos tell stories; yet other than a title, he leaves the viewer to fill in the dialog. Read… Read more

This quote got me thinking about the body of work of iamnotanumber8885. His photos tell stories; yet other than a title, he leaves the viewer to fill in the dialog. Read the comments on any photo in this stream and you will see that each person brings to the shots his own interpretation. Not every photographer's work has universal appeal, but every shot in this stream does -- therein lies the charm and the artistry. Bravo,dear J!

I first came across Jeff's photo-stream quite accidentally when I saw his "moon holder" picture in one of the pools and remember being amused by the title.

I first came across Jeff's photo-stream quite accidentally when I saw his "moon holder" picture in one of the pools and remember being amused by the title. That picture led me to his stream and I went through the entire collection sitting in office when I should have been doing something very different :) Besides being a terrific photographer he has a great sense of humour and has never failed to amuse me with his comments. He is also a source of constant inspiration ! Im not good at writing testimonials and rarely write one, but I had to mention how thrilled I am to have found Jeff on Flickr and to have him as a friend.

Ever seen pure creativity? Ever felt genuine originality? Ever witnessed true photography? Stop searching your and our galaxy, you found it right here!

Ever seen pure creativity? Ever felt genuine originality? Ever witnessed true photography? Stop searching your and our galaxy, you found it right here! He claims not to be a number, but we know better than that. He's one of the very few numbers, actually. Be prepared to be carried away on a rollercoaster of pictures you could easily see in 2 seconds, but will usually take 5 hours. And Enjoy it All, for that's entertainment. In a Grand way.

Equally an artist and a photographer, Jeff's photos are instantly recognisable. Indeed, I have noticed his influence sprinkled throughout Flickr streams, always with a reference to his work as an inspiration. This alone is an indication of a great artist in the making.

Equally an artist and a photographer, Jeff's photos are instantly recognisable. Indeed, I have noticed his influence sprinkled throughout Flickr streams, always with a reference to his work as an inspiration. This alone is an indication of a great artist in the making. He has as much talent as encouragement for others to explore their unique potential, and thus he is a highly valued and treasured contact for many Flickr members. More importantly however, he is very good at spelling.

JefF... I've had sooo much fun with him and his comments... but above all, admiring his photos! sometimes I just visit his stream and think: "*supressed curse word* how does he do that?!?!!? it's just too perfect!!!" and he's influenced me, not only to start thinking about minimalism, but also in taking better phot… Read more

JefF... I've had sooo much fun with him and his comments... but above all, admiring his photos! sometimes I just visit his stream and think: "*supressed curse word* how does he do that?!?!!? it's just too perfect!!!" and he's influenced me, not only to start thinking about minimalism, but also in taking better photos... I want to amuse people like he amuses me... also, ok ok... I know! I own him a frapuccino :P thanks, Jeff... you've done a lot good to me, and didn't even know it :P

You never know where Jeff is going to turn up next. His work is always an inspiration and his personal "style" of taking photos is almost breath-taking! I respect Jeff as an artist on a very high level and i love his sense of british humor. Most of all, he is fair and honest, and i adore people with that purity of int… Read more

This guy makes me SICK. How can you be so good and only have trees in half your pictures?. Can someone take the blody camera off him and give the rest of us sucker's a chance.

This guy makes me SICK. How can you be so good and only have trees in half your pictures?. Can someone take the blody camera off him and give the rest of us sucker's a chance. If I can discard envy,jealousy and hatred for just a minute I'd like to say that Jeff's images(damn him!!!)are some of my favourites here on Flickr. Every pic is unique,innovative,imaginative,creative and most of all interesting.......Damn again!!!............ He must have a very intelligent camera to do all this for him!!!!. Anyway,,,,,,,,,,what was I saying? Oh yes some of my favourites are "Now it's time to say Goodnight"(with tree),........."Moonwatcher"(treeless) and the superlative "Life without Ted"(who gives a damn whether there are trees in it.............it is that good!!). Please ,Please, Please go and look at Jeff's photostream.........it will probably make you throw your damn camera away......it doesn't get any better than this. I received no payment for this testimonial.........I did it of my own volition and I am of sound mind.

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff.. I could say that his work bursts with a signature style and originality that is easily recognizable and gets a tremendous response, but you folks already know that.

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff.. I could say that his work bursts with a signature style and originality that is easily recognizable and gets a tremendous response, but you folks already know that. Jeff brings a ton of life, energy, color, and wit into his photos, many of them sprinkled with doses of the surreal. What would otherwise be a picture of clouds in the sky and would evoke a "Nice clouds!" response, turns into clouds with a pair of feet and stilettos. The viewer is caught off-guard with Jeff's visual tickles, and then pulled in by the humor, colo(u)r, and warmth that radiates from this stream. Jeff claims he's not number 8885, but we all know better... and wouldn't want it any other way :)

An influential and prolific friend, iamnotanumber8885 consistently delivers quality photos in his unmistakingly very own style. I remember when I spotted "Man and dog" about a year ago in one of those post-one-give-five-trophies pools where we all met regularly. Minimalism with a man and a dog. I was smitten.

An influential and prolific friend, iamnotanumber8885 consistently delivers quality photos in his unmistakingly very own style. I remember when I spotted "Man and dog" about a year ago in one of those post-one-give-five-trophies pools where we all met regularly. Minimalism with a man and a dog. I was smitten. That was the work of an artist who found his own style. I enjoy returning to iamnotanumber8885's photostream regularly ever since, I always find a gem or two to show he never tires pushing the limits. I usually don't do testimonials, this is my first one for a very special artist and a good friend
