I'd been meaning to do this for such a long time, but lifestuff kept getting in the way. Today I decided to put everything on hold so I can say what should have been said quite a while ago. Since coming to Flickr and testing the waters, few have been as open and supportive as Ché has been and I really feel that his words, along with his brilliant stream, have really helped me grow up in photography. I learned early on that boundaries are for the uninspired and unimaginative. It's apparent from his shooting style that Ché doesn't believe in them either. There are still some techniques he uses that I've been trying to reverse engineer in my head because asking about them would be the same as asking a magician how he pulled off his latest trick. Thanks for always doing the next new thing and for encouraging me to do the same. -Adrian

Che is more than a friend, he is a brother. He is, by no doubt, one of the most driven, dedicated and intelligent people I know. A few years ago, I got him an interview for a very technical job, in an industry which he was not very familiar with. Che read one of the biggest Solaris books I've ever soon cover-to-cover, and got the job shortly after his interview. He does well at whatever he sets out to do, and I have no doubt that he will always be successful. Che - By the way - You still owe me a job :)
