i have quietly been a fan of ky's work for a long time. the way she see's the world around her is like a breath of fresh air, a fresh perspective of things that usually go unnoticed..as if she's quietly saying "stop. take a look around you, feel the air, notice the beauty of the quiet everyday moments." i love viewing the world through her eyes. her photos capture the stories, the people, those moments that reveal the magic of the everyday. i love getting to know her. what a treat, she is truly a treasure. xoxox

Ky's work is consistenly engaging and enticing. She worldview strikes a gentle chord which resonates long after you've looked at her photos. Oh, she also has excellent musical taste. As y'all know, that's a must have Flickr requirement! ;-)

Ky is composed of those gentle, gleeful moments we find sprinkled throughout the day. She is completely compassionate and colossally brilliant with the timing of positive comments... not to mention her photos are quite swell. Swell and swell this Ky lady certainly is.

Her stream is like a gifted truffle that one saves for just the right sunshiny moment before one delves in, just to maximize the pleasure it is to savour. Yes, that's exactly it, actually.

Every image that Ky uploads feels like a gift. Her stream is like a gifted truffle that one saves for just the right sunshiny moment before one delves in, just to maximize the pleasure it is to savour. Yes, that's exactly it, actually. Ky's stream oozes with rich, subtle flavours… a gentle balance of sweet and savoury delights that enrich the viewer, always. The delicacy with which she engages the world around her is evidenced in her thoughtful, charming slice-of-life images, and the sensitive, selective words she uses to enhance them. All I can say is yay, for the genuinity and compelling soul in everything she shares.

Ky's photography is just insanely brilliant. She uses colour, light, and DoF in such an amazing way... really making the simple things extraordinary. I'm constantly awestruck whenever I see a new photo of hers in my contacts' stream. Keep going! I can't wait to see what you have in store next. :)

In a nutshell. Ky sends nice messages, and exudes joie de vivre.

I am always excited when I head over to Ky stream because I love every photo she shares. I find them to be very inspiring and she can tell a whole story with one snap.

I can't stop looking at these photos. They all are amazing. The colours, the composition... I could fav all of them. The mood transmits from the photo to me and it feels like I'm right there. Super!
