I can't believe I haven't written you a testimonial. I guess I took it for granted because we are such good friends and speak on a daily basis. The thing is when I first discovered your photo stream I was in such awe and I felt that someone this talented would never become my friend let alone invite me to meet up and shoot with them. That was just about a year ago and now that I know you better than any of my flickr contacts (or friends) I can really say your photos suck! Seriously; all joking aside, you are a rock star behind the lens of any camera you pick up. Even if you were shooting with your Girl Scout Brownie camera with film from the 80s, standing on one leg hopping around like a rabbit you would still get some of the best shots I've ever seen. A year later I'm proud to call you my flamingo and I still feel the same about your work exactly like the first time I visited your stream. Enough of this sappy shit. Lets go out on the balcony and have a scotch and a nice cigar.

jenn has no idea how much she has inspired me. there is no question that i adore her unique and soulful style of laying down images that people remember. but what has impacted me the most are her writings and photos dealing with her mom and their reunion. she doesn't know this (because frankly it would've been a lit… Read more

jenn has no idea how much she has inspired me. there is no question that i adore her unique and soulful style of laying down images that people remember. but what has impacted me the most are her writings and photos dealing with her mom and their reunion. she doesn't know this (because frankly it would've been a little creepy to mention...maybe a testimonial is ok?) but reading her commentaries on this process helped move me to reunite with my own dad after years. and that has changed my life. so yeah. i think she's a mackin' chick for sure. mwah, darling.

I’ve written precious few testimonials. I have pretty strict criteria which virtually allows me to ignore this business altogether. First, I will not write unless I have thought about it for a long, long time. Second, there has to be more than just good photography to write about.

I’ve written precious few testimonials. I have pretty strict criteria which virtually allows me to ignore this business altogether. First, I will not write unless I have thought about it for a long, long time. Second, there has to be more than just good photography to write about. Third, I have to feel that I would to write about the person even if that person would never, ever acknowledge my testimonial. Forth, it has to be the type of person who does appreciate a testimonial. But Jen is special. After almost 3 years on flickr I have “met” hundreds of people. None compare with this person. I “met” her when I saw the picture on her profile page that reminded me of the Hudson River School, and I noticed that she lives in the Hudson Valley. In March 2007 she was a real good photographer, but that is not what makes her outstanding. She is a “real” person. If flickr were made for anybody it is for her. She has written the story of her life in and continued growth in flickr images. There is honesty on every page. Her sites tell a saga of hope, growth, love, life, struggle, fun and creativity. Sharing her ups and downs, bounces from past to present to future, shadows and bright spots, is as exciting as it gets. In this story one cannot help but feel proud of the protagonist’s achievements, empathy for her struggles, and sorrow for her losses. Watching the story unfold I’ve developed an affinity for orange, cemeteries and skeletons. It makes not one iota of difference that her life style and mine are vastly different. She has inspired many of my pictures. When I was stopped by the cops in Grand Central Station for taking pictures I said that I learned from Jen Konig from Cold Spring, and feigned disbelief that they hadn’t heard of her. (It worked!) In the past 25 months she has grown artistically from real good to fantastic. It is wonderful that she actually makes money from selling her stuff. I hope she gets oodles and oodles of cash for her work. Maybe I will even get to buy one before she sells signed works for thousands. I do not like writing testimonials for people who have a disproportionate amount of them. I looked at her profile before writing. Yeah she’s got a lot. I’m happy to add to it even if nobody ever reads this. There is a greater testimonial which I hadn’t noticed before: She has a huge amount of followers and commenters, and a relatively small amount of “contacts” and “friends.” That says more than a thousand pictures. Also, I am proud to be counted amongst them.

flickr is great, but real life is better. For me, flickr has served as a conduit to some pretty wonderful relationships with some pretty amazing people. Jennifer is one of them. I would imagine that someone somewhere has said that a person could well be judged by those that gather around his/her dinner table (a… Read more

flickr is great, but real life is better. For me, flickr has served as a conduit to some pretty wonderful relationships with some pretty amazing people. Jennifer is one of them. I would imagine that someone somewhere has said that a person could well be judged by those that gather around his/her dinner table (although I'm pretty sure that person wouldn't have said or written "his/her" !). Similarly, Jennifer can be judged by the friendships she develops and nurtures here at flickr; the number of people who not only visit her stream daily but who are inspired by her mind's eye, her voracious visual appetite and her unbridled excitement for others' photos and company. People really don't come much better than JKönig.

Oh be jebus I should have updated Jennifers testimonial ages ago, sorry :- Jennifer is so many people's Flickr muse, beautiful in looks and beautiful in soul, talented yet full of self doubt, somedays she sees the world like a child seeing it for the first time, other days as a wise and mature adult, she is someone I a… Read more

Oh be jebus I should have updated Jennifers testimonial ages ago, sorry :- Jennifer is so many people's Flickr muse, beautiful in looks and beautiful in soul, talented yet full of self doubt, somedays she sees the world like a child seeing it for the first time, other days as a wise and mature adult, she is someone I am so happy to know and call my friend, I so hope we meet one day Jennifer.

What do you say about a woman with forty testimonials that hasn't been said at least twice, maybe even better than you could say it? You say, "What they said." (Except for the dude who put all the numerals.) Jen is the remedy for the suck voice. She comes in color and exists in real life, two things I like best… Read more

What do you say about a woman with forty testimonials that hasn't been said at least twice, maybe even better than you could say it? You say, "What they said." (Except for the dude who put all the numerals.) Jen is the remedy for the suck voice. She comes in color and exists in real life, two things I like best about her. Oh, and other stuff, too. Yeah. Like that.

Jen's stream is a wonderful combination of images and memoirs that is something special on Flickr much less the internet. And the numerous testimonials below (and likely above) can attest to that.

Jen's stream is a wonderful combination of images and memoirs that is something special on Flickr much less the internet. And the numerous testimonials below (and likely above) can attest to that. Not only are they exceptional together, but both the photos and the text could stand alone as great works. To boot, I had the fortune of meeting her in person and she was incredibly warm and open. I instantly felt like we had know each other for ages. She's a very special person. I very much look forward to seeing and reading more in her stream and hope that there are many more encounters in the future.

Jennifer sees the perfection in this beautiful, imperfect world. She gleans the good from the bad; superhero-style, complete with bright, shiny orange cape. To me -- a **very** old-skool veteran of this Flickrtown -- Jennifer IS Flickr and all the joy and wonderment that this place can offer. Hers is the first an… Read more

Jennifer sees the perfection in this beautiful, imperfect world. She gleans the good from the bad; superhero-style, complete with bright, shiny orange cape. To me -- a **very** old-skool veteran of this Flickrtown -- Jennifer IS Flickr and all the joy and wonderment that this place can offer. Hers is the first and the last stream I check everyday. I thank her for her wisdom, her humanity, her long-distance friendship, and her altogether grooviness.

I feel a bit overwhelmed adding a testimonial to the huge collection Jennifer already has, but... there are so many great things about the JKonig photostream, I just had to add my few words... the color, the sensitivity, the variety, the so human nature of her pictures are a few of the things that make me squeal "wheee… Read more

I feel a bit overwhelmed adding a testimonial to the huge collection Jennifer already has, but... there are so many great things about the JKonig photostream, I just had to add my few words... the color, the sensitivity, the variety, the so human nature of her pictures are a few of the things that make me squeal "wheeee" when I see a new post from her in my contacts page! I am proud to say I have an original JK on my living room wall - that I bought in a charity auction... it makes me smile every time I see it :)

What could I possibly add that could help to describe the Matriarch and Founder of Whoredom? Give me an unabridged dictionary and a thesaurus and a couple of dozen romance languages and a few years and MAYBE I could begin to communicate how she can weave color and texture and composition and storytelling and compassio… Read more

What could I possibly add that could help to describe the Matriarch and Founder of Whoredom? Give me an unabridged dictionary and a thesaurus and a couple of dozen romance languages and a few years and MAYBE I could begin to communicate how she can weave color and texture and composition and storytelling and compassion and hilarity into spellbinding art. Jennifer totally has the goods.

If I recall, someone asked Jennifer to stalk my photo stream. Suddenly, I began to see all these wonderful comments from this person with a blue buzzard icon. To coin a phrase, "the rest is history."

If I recall, someone asked Jennifer to stalk my photo stream. Suddenly, I began to see all these wonderful comments from this person with a blue buzzard icon. To coin a phrase, "the rest is history." Jennifer and I quickly became friends and will remain friends till one of us pisses the other off, then all bets are off. Seriously, Jennifer is probably one of the most dedicated members of Flickr. What's so wonderful is that she has shaped it in to what she wanted it to be. She attracts people like a flame attracts a moth (except there is none of that bursting in to flames and tiny moth screams). Jennifer has taken Flickr and made her visual diary for all to see and share. She makes friends instantly and probably has shot with more Flickrites that any other Flickrette. So takes some time and enjoy the Jennifer ride. I'm glad that I did.

jen is floofilicious. she is fabuloso. she is hawt. she is a whore. she is a ray of sunshine on a damn, dark day. she is color cracktastic. she is an inspiration. she is whip smart. she is your cheerleader. she is mega talented. she is the best you will find around here. she is my friend. p.s. werd to her badonkadon… Read more

How do you write a testimonial for a girl who already has all the platitudes... I will simply say that after months of futile resistance, I have succumbed to the kult of jkonig (sounds kooler if you make the j silent).

How do you write a testimonial for a girl who already has all the platitudes... I will simply say that after months of futile resistance, I have succumbed to the kult of jkonig (sounds kooler if you make the j silent). The colors, the textures, the consistently witty prose... oh yeah, and the amazingly cool person who dispenses it all in a free and easy way that is completely charming and disarming. All of which is to say nothing of her kind and unique brand of comments and sharing in other's photo streams; a unique blend of thoughtful support and motivation to stretch out of our comfort zone. To see and capture more. And isn't that why we joined flickr in first place? You are the real deal, jennifer. Thanks.

The amount of time may be brief in which I have come to appreciate Jennifer as a photographer and as a person but I can assure you this, I am inspired each time I read her comments, see her photos and witness her compassionate, selfless nature in action. She is extraordinary. She is someone who cares. She is the s… Read more

She is extraordinary. She is someone who cares. She is the sort of person you hope and aspire to become. Thank you for sharing all that you do. Nothing but the best~Craig

jen is quite simply beyond compare. photoblogger extraordinaire, in the truest sense. colour whore, tag queen ... the princess of O R A N G E. she captures the very essence of life's trials, tribulations, joys, ups, downs and sides. raw, candid emotion ... life's rollercoaster in pictures and words; she expresses the everyday, her every day, in ways that most of us can only dream. a rare talent indeed. in a relatively short time jen has become a dear friend. and i love her for that. i thank her for that.

JKo is the new orange. Or something. Plus, she bought her husband a MOTORBIKE for his birthday, which officially makes her the coolest person on flickr.
