I applaud Derrick's commitment to social justice through his photos and marvel at his outstanding work on Flickr. He is a talented individual whose photography is inspirational. As a librarian, I appreciate his support of the Library Project. Thank you, Derrick!
I was a professional journalist and photographer for 20 years, and I envy Derrick's skills and talent.

I was a professional journalist and photographer for 20 years, and I envy Derrick's skills and talent. When he's not succumbing to the inbred Chinese predilection to shooting pictures of all the food in the restaurant (Just kidding, Derrick!), he's out in the byways and alleyways shooting some really good socially relevant photos. You may not always enjoy the feelings his photographs stir in you, but what he shoots always has impact! I've not regretted adding him to my contacts, because he's an excellent PHOTO JOURNALIST - note the two-word separation there - and a fine photographer.

I don't know how many years I've known Derrick from the China blogging world or from Flickr, but he's a swell guy and has got a good eye for people pics and portraits. Though I wonder how much money he's spent on camera gear based on my advice. I should be getting a commission from Canon or Sigma. ;)
