"Light in photography is my inspiration, my paint and brush. It is as vital as the subject itself. Profoundly significant, it caresses the essential superlative curves and lines. Light I acknowledge as the energy upon which all life on this planet depends"

If you love beauty, originality and artistic skill, you will certainly enjoy seeing Diana's amazing work. She transcends the limits of the camera. Her photographs rivel great paintings and can be appreciated on so many inspiring levels.

I joined Flickr late in 2008 and Diana was one of my first contacts. I think we met in one of the still life groups. Over this period of time that I've known Diana, I understood that she is one of the most talented and creative photographers in Flickr space. She's very courageous person and stunningly feminine at the same time. I can reiterate with confidence that Diana is a rare and beautiful soul, dedicated to her photography. I remind the definition of soul noun (DEEP FEELINGS) from the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary) -"the quality of a person or work of art which shows or produces deep good feelings". And Diana produces such deep good feelings in abundance! She's a true artist, her work is exquisite and reflects her wonderful gift to see the beauty around us in everyday life. Diana's activity and enthusiasm are simply striking! She is attacking all subjects of photography as we can see from her photostream. I'm inspired by the progress she has made in her photographic skills. An extraordinary woman and an extraordinary photographer! (Just look at her buddy icon!) Besides being a bright photographer she is one of the most conscientious and thoughtful Flickrites in her frequent comments and visits. Diana has become my true Flickr friend. She always has kind and supportive comments and I can count on a visit from her virtually on a daily basis. Diana is very responsible personality - she takes the time to see our recent captures and write wonderful comments to encourage and uplift her fellow photographers; she's learning by visiting us and we are learning from her comments... Keep up your pace, Diana! I'm (and I'll be!) checking your photostream everyday. I'm so glad I met you Diana, and very grateful, and do appreciate your friendship!

I do not give out testimonials very often, but when I do, you can be assured that the person receiving them is a special person and photographer! I feel in love with Diana's work from the first time I viewed one of her images. She has a unique vision and eye for the art. Each day I wait to see what other "gems" she has to offer her viewers. One of the things I like most about Diana is that she inspires me with her work, and keeps me wanting to do better with my own. Diana has a real passion for photography and works extremely hard creating the best possible images that she can. I told her at one point that a great photographer does not "take" images... they "create" them! This is just what Diana does... she "creates" her images, each and every one. It is my honor and privilege to give you this testimonial my dear friend. May you have many more years of creating masterpieces. Hugs.... Nick

Having known Diana only a short while, I still have a deep appreciation for her photographic art. Unlike others, I have not seen how she and her art have grown, but I see them both as I do today - Utterly breathtaking. Each image looks so magnificent - so painterly without being a painting. Just looking at them takes me to a world of long ago and forgotten riches where the Greeks and Romans would eat and play. Although they don't have that much of an antiquated look, they do have a timeless, classic look. That is something as a photographer I strive for constatnly. Diana has perfected it. My first taste of still life art was a painting at my grandparents home of bread, wine, cheese and fruit. That image is burned into my mind by my studying it, hour after hour when we would visit their home. I cannot help but be enthralled by Diana's images in the same way. Diana, thank you so much for sharing your gift with the world, and little ole me. I feel blessed for having met you and given the chance to experience your gift from such a close perspective.

Quite simply Diana has an incredible talent for photography, and for me personally her photographs are an absolute inspiration. I first got interested in her photo stream through her images of New York, but her photography is so versatile that she can apply her talent to absolutely any genre or subject. In my view Diana's is quite simply one of the most technically accomplished and most beautiful photo streams to be seen anywhere on Flickr. Diana, long may it continue, and thanks so much for sharing. Gary.

Diana is one of my first flickr contacts – we met in one of the still life groups. She is by far one of the most conscientious and thoughtful flickr-ites in her supportive and frequent comments and visits. I have been amazed and inspired at the astonishing progress she has made in her photographic skills. From florals to still life, to landscapes, candid and posed portraits, to urban street scenes - her technical skill, eye for composition and color deliver consistently impressive results. Her lovely personality is also exhibited through her work, and I think if we ever have a chance to meet, I believe we’ll be instant friends and never run out of things to talk about.

I have been meaning to write a testimonial for a while for Diana. She was one of the first few contacts I added when I really started uploading pictures for public viewing on flickr in mid 2009. She inspires me every day with her images and kind words. She is master in all subjects of photography as you can see from her photostream, although my favorites are her landscapes and seascapes. Even the most mundane day to day scene becomes visually stunning the way she captures and presents them. I really really look forward for her pictures everyday. Thank You, Diana for being an inspiration, a mentor.

I've been watching Diana's photography for a few years on Flickr and watched blossom in new photographic directions. She is a past master of still life and has this past year (2009) branched out into new creative directions, including street candid portraits, animals, "kerplunks" (action-filled drink shots), and self-portraits. Her post-shot editing has taken on deep resonance and become so well done that it is unnoticeable. She is beginning to enjoy a measure of success in sales, despite the present grim economic setting. I'm proud to call her a Flickr friend.

If my fate would allow me to pass from this world into the next, and if by God's grace I would open my eyes upon God heaven, it would not surprise me if I would somehow know that by some strange chance I had seen heaven before. It was because I was alowed to peek thru God's key hole into heaven by seeing the earthly treasure of florgal, and her photographs. I have no clue how I was so blessed to stumble upon florgal photostream. My D-80 has found it's master as well in florgal. Paula

Although I have never met her in person, I can say with confidence that Diana is a rare and beautiful soul. Her inner beauty comes through in her gorgeous still-lifes and landscapes. Her ability to take a few simple elements, and create amazing still-life images is incredible. Every detail of the set-up and lighting is absolute perfection. She also takes the time to comment on other's photos, and use those comments to encourage and uplift her fellow photographers. She has encouraged me on many occasions. If I had the opportunity, I would love to assist her in setting up and photographing some of her still-lifes. It would be a chance to learn from a true artist, in every sense of the word. She is an inspiration to all of us.
