Having once had the pleasure of photographing birds with Mike, I came away with the impression of someone who feels genuine reverence and empathy for the creatures in front of his lens. These qualities, so clearly manifest in his work, serve to distinguish him from so many wildlife photographers who, preoccupied with gear and technique, fail to make that crucial connection with the subject.

Mike has many truly remarkable bird photos. Many of which you can see on his page of most interesting photos. interestingby.isa... I hope the link works. At least it did in the preview. I use the More User Links greasemonkey script which puts such a link in every members photostream page. This is very handy to see some of the best photos on flickr.

When I think about Mike, two words come in mind: Passion and Gentleman! In fact, when you are viewing his beautiful Japan pictures, you can feel his true passion and respect for this superb country. When you read Mike's comments on your images (or somebodyelse), you immediately sense that he is a first class gentle… Read more

When I think about Mike, two words come in mind: Passion and Gentleman! In fact, when you are viewing his beautiful Japan pictures, you can feel his true passion and respect for this superb country. When you read Mike's comments on your images (or somebodyelse), you immediately sense that he is a first class gentleman with a world vision. Thank you Mike for sharing your passion and for your friendship. Your Flickr friend, Imapix
