my vision is pretty simple. i don’t go through complex processes when i go out there with camera in hand. when i look through my camera's viewfinder, i always expect to be dazzled by even the most familiar and mundane. and it is my hope that every image i choose to share with others will somehow make them gain a new appreciation, even if for a moment, of the world in which we live.

 

it has been five years since i joined this most wonderful Flickr community. i have discovered lifelong friends and through them i have learned so much about photography. i will forever be indebted to them for helping me sustain this passion and for keeping me inspired to do better each time i look through my camera's viewfinder and press that shutter.

 

i used to take baby steps in this field of photography but now i can say i am making considerably big strides. i am not quite running yet. but i know that someday i will - in my own way.

At first, I was hesitant to write anything on her stream because I was overwhelmed with all those 200+ comments on her photos and 50+ testimonials. I was hesitant coz I thought that once I write something on her stream that would be an understatement. Everything in her is close to perfection. I wouldn’t let this chance to slip away without thanking this wonderful person. Not only is she inspirational but a generous photographer as well. I take so much pride to all of her sincere comments on my photos. She’s simply amazing! She’s the epitome of imagoism.Ü Thank you so much Ms. V! You truly are an inspiration to all of us here in flickr!Ü Russelle

Every once in a while... you come across someone... who would just totally alter your perception on things… This person could be a total stranger… and he or she could be totally unaware of how much they’ve influenced you… This is what happened to me when I first saw Vi's photostream… I was stunned! Her work is truly astonishing! She has such artistic eyes which captures the beauty in the simplest things around us… transforming them into the most sublime work of art. And then I got to know her a little better… so far just a little… But even through this very ‘little’ thing I know about her… I can tell that she is someone who appreciates everything that life has to offer… a truly wonderful... caring and genuine person… a great friend! It is an honor to have met you Ate Vi...

Vi, the name I will never forget. Not because she is so natural, very eloquent, full of life and real. But because I found a real sister in her. She helped me immensely when I felt like I want to say goodbye. She inspired me when I was down. She consoled me when I really needed someone. She is a true gift from heaven and never will I forget the good things she showered me and my family. Vi, I am pretty sure that I am just one of your so many friends. For now, I can only wish you all the good things in life to be at your doorstep when you need them. With all the love I can give, I will give. Thank you so much for your wonderful imagery that inspired thousands of Imago Fans. I'm very proud to be one of them.

Virginia is fine art photographer, who inspires me more and more to take notice of very small details, small moments in life, that have to be appriciated, and remembered in such way. With her work She tells me, that in all small pieces or places of our surroundings there lies a beauty! In that mater I remembered my favorite saying from Antoine de Saint Exupéry, in storry The Little Prince: "Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."! Thank you, Virginia, for sharing seeing on the world through your eyes!

Virginia (Imago2007) is this kind of person. a true talented artist, a generous friend, a poet of images. look at her macros for example, like at her jewells of nature, at her empathetic portraits. she puts grace in every single shot! i love her work and I'll continue to follow her for inspiration and for the pleasure of my eyes.

My idol Ate V! Her photos and poetry are my inspiration in exploring the world of photography. I love taking shots of landscapes, mostly from my travels, but she opened my eyes in appreciating beauty up close. Imago has this certain passion for artistry that is contagious. She can package images with so much flair. Minimalism was not something that I paid attention to before until she made it fashionable. Ate V, thank you for your visit and generous comments.

How do you write a testimonial for a very special person? A person, not a mere "somebody"? A kind soul... someone who gave me wings when I was trying to learn how to walk, someone who fortified my confidence when I was on my knees searching for my spot and humble niche under the glare and challenge of this world of photography, someone who happily applauded from the sidelines when I finally began finding my rhythm and "style'? Yes, once in a person's lifetime comes a kind soul who teaches you volumes without speaking, who stuns, amazes, stupefies, & awes with the silent eloquence of her images , who leaves you confidence without debt. A patient mentor and a genuine friend. This is Virginia. Imago2007. "V" to me ( her initial, of which I fondly call her, in silent remembrance of V-ictor, my father's name). :) Her photographic skills and talents, and her equally genius savvy of poetry and editorials makes her the complete artist. Always humble, always courteous, over this cyberworld and more so in person, I always thank my lucky stars for finding her. Her style, always totally pleasurably unique. Her sense of colour, composition, balance, and choice of subjects are worthy of everyone's attention and interest. Her approach ranks among the best I've seen in my years photographic experience. One feels a light and happy sense of freedom in her captures. Nobody comes close to her style. I say this now because this truth can never be denied! yet again, I must say that behind and beyond this photographic avant-garde of a lady is a person, yes, a human being, so down-to-earth, so kind, so unselfish, so unassuming that one can't help but simply endear her close to the heart. V, it is a great honour and pleasure to have you as our family's friend. Lotte and Cara, and I have very high regards and respect for you. I am, forever, your student, and number one fan... :) Abrazos and vaya con Dios to you, V! Ge. de la Cruz / Baton Rouge, Louisiana

She paints pictures with words that are as vivid as her photographs...what a rare gift. On top of that she goes to great lengths to comment on and encourage those of us who strive to her unsurpassed level of greatness. I feel certain that sometime in the future she will be autographing her book at Barnes & Noble for all us flickrites (and a lot of other people). Great person with a passion for giving...wish I could know her in person! Paul
