Jay, I will not forget meeting you at the Cataldo Mission. What a great way to meet a fellor shooter. Your bird images inspire me to shoot more birds. You have great images and a big lens. I need one like that. LOL. we really need to shoot together some day.

Jay's attention to detail just blows me away. Best outdoor photographer I have seen. Jay really seems to know how to get "the shot" and his attention to detail is phenominal. He inspires me and would love to meet and possibly shoot with him in the near future.

Jay has been such an inspiration to me in the short time I have been on Flickr! He welcomed me right away, and has been so supportive of my "very beginner" photos. He is so very kind and extremely helpful to any questions I have had. His passion for his photography shows in every image. I have spent HOURS viewing his incredible photos, only longing for more. I have watched his short videos and have felt like I am right there along in his photo shoots. I admire him and find myself waiting for his next great capture daily. I am truly blessed to have him as a friend.

I have been Jay's contact for about a year and he never ceases to amaze me with the beauty of his photographs. 7 years ago he became interested in photography - WOW in 7 years and he has done this work! I appreciate his patience, I know some of these shots required a lot of time waiting sometimes in the frreezing cold it looks like. His eye for a shot is not something you learn, it's a gift that combined with an obvious love of the outdoors and nature. I especially look forward to his photostream since I moved to the city and rarely see anything other than a pigeon, seagull, squirrel oh and yeah the occasional rat. Thank you so much Jay, you are immensely talented.

There are good nature shooters, great nature shooters and then there's Jay. The images of wildlife he captures are incredible. Being able to get as close as he does and come away with amazingly sharp and clear images just boggles the mind. For him to be able to do this lets one know that he instills a sense of trust among wildlife. As a lover of nature and wildlife, I'm am so grateful to him for sharing these images with us. Better than any PBS or Animal Planet show. I only wish I could take such pictures. Keep up the great work Jay!

Just stumbled across Walk in the Woods yesterday and I was absolutely amazed. I think that these are the best wildlife photos that I have seen on this site. He was also very generous with sharing his camera/lens information when I asked him. Thanks and "Hats Off" to one excellent photographer!

Jay's photographs of wildlife display a sensitivity which does honor to the animals, and to the beautiful land which he and they call home...Each of his pictures is an adventure into the wonderful worlds of the creatures with whom we share the planet. Thanks, Jay, for sharing with us!

I stumbled across Jays photostream a while back and I can't get enough of his photos!! I keep a eye out for new ones all the time. He has an awesome eye and is always in the right place at the right time!! Keep up the great work and I will keep on looking!!( and in a few cases drooling!)

I do not know Jay~ nor have I met him or hung out in photo shoots with him. I found his work through another contacts comments and took a look at it and I could not believe the stunning and beautiful photos he has taken, He is truly gifted... He says it well himself "doing what he loves to do" And he does it so well! Not only does his photography inspire me, It keeps me reaching to get that perfect shot! ~ whatever that may be because that really is the great and rewarding challenge of the photographer. Jay is not the only one rewarded by his captures, We all are! His closest friends like Sandy, Phill and so may others and people like me who just met him from across the coast here on Flickr. He has been as kind and supportive as anyone can be. I enjoy asking for his advice because he graciously helps and wants to help. He is a very nice person with a great gift! Thank you Jay for all your help! You have very nice friends too, many who are my contacts now as well. They are very talented photgraphers living in a great country! Angel Cher Victoria
