What a remarkable photographer! Michael's work is a testimony to the phrase that I have in my profile: "In a world that's going by so fast, it's important to stop and appreciate it, even freeze a few seconds of it in time." His photographs are breathtaking, an inspiration and masterpieces of art. When I saw the first s… Read more

What a remarkable photographer! Michael's work is a testimony to the phrase that I have in my profile: "In a world that's going by so fast, it's important to stop and appreciate it, even freeze a few seconds of it in time." His photographs are breathtaking, an inspiration and masterpieces of art. When I saw the first shot of his work, I immediately mark him as a contact and continued to look at all his marvelous work. I'm looking forward in continuing enjoying his art! PS Sorry, my English is as lousy as my photography, it's not my first language.

Michael the Lightchaser has been one of the most important artists I've encountered on Flickr--and I initially saw his work in my first week. Three years later, he still sets the standards by which I evaluate the work of others. There is such purity involved, and the love of light and form--all with the joy of being … Read more

Michael the Lightchaser has been one of the most important artists I've encountered on Flickr--and I initially saw his work in my first week. Three years later, he still sets the standards by which I evaluate the work of others. There is such purity involved, and the love of light and form--all with the joy of being able to bring such beauty back into the world through his images. Keep 'em coming................you're the best.

Michael, every single picture of yours is literally my favorite. I revisited your profile quotes (after 1.5 years) and now totally understand why you quoted them. As you mentioned "no tears from the writer .... no tears from the reader". I have to say whatever emotions in your photos are perfectly communicated to yo… Read more

Michael, every single picture of yours is literally my favorite. I revisited your profile quotes (after 1.5 years) and now totally understand why you quoted them. As you mentioned "no tears from the writer .... no tears from the reader". I have to say whatever emotions in your photos are perfectly communicated to your "readers".

Each one of Michael's images is a gem, carefully carved from land and light. You know an accomplished photographer when you see one. They aren't just pretty pictures of pretty places... I can tell each one has its own story, its own adventure. It would seem the light chases Michael, rather than him chasing the light… Read more

Each one of Michael's images is a gem, carefully carved from land and light. You know an accomplished photographer when you see one. They aren't just pretty pictures of pretty places... I can tell each one has its own story, its own adventure. It would seem the light chases Michael, rather than him chasing the light... but I know better. His images seem timeless and effortless and have the same well-thought-out quality that I see in images from Galen Rowell. They are beautiful. You definitely have to chase light to come away with these kinds of gems.

Michael’s entire photstream takes my breath away and brings tears of wonder to my eyes. His titles are thought provoking. He is graced with an ability to recognize and then capture the true essence of light. His work inspires me to return to some of the places he has photographed.... and have the patience to wait fo… Read more

He is graced with an ability to recognize and then capture the true essence of light. His work inspires me to return to some of the places he has photographed.... and have the patience to wait for the light to expose what his photographs reveal!
