If I could only say one thing about Mike, it would be that he is one of the most interesting, helpful, and knowledgeable people on flickr. Not only does he know so much about cameras, but I assume he also knows just about everything there is to know about Macs and the iPhone. He always gives helpful advice, and on occasion recounts his many travels - which I am quite jealous of. Even though Mike insists that his Nikons are better than Canons, he's still a really cool guy!

Is it time I leave my testimonial? :) Well, people are always making jokes with Mike about macs, nikons, trips, etc. but the truth is that I didn't believe in friends on the net before I met Mike. He's truly funny, kind and overall a great human being. w00t w00t!

Mike loves Fisheye, Apple, Nikon, HDR and travelling. That is Mike in a sentence.

Mike is a great photographer and a great friend. Everything he uploads is interesting, be it his travels, HDR's, macros, or even just funky stuff with his fisheye. He's been a big help to me in learning about my camera and even in buying it, and he's never too busy to help. Also, I love the pond thing that he always ta… Read more

Mike is a great photographer and a great friend. Everything he uploads is interesting, be it his travels, HDR's, macros, or even just funky stuff with his fisheye. He's been a big help to me in learning about my camera and even in buying it, and he's never too busy to help. Also, I love the pond thing that he always takes pictures of, and his backyard in vermont. All in all, he's great.

Mike is the only flickr friend I have met so far. He is short, about half my size but has the same size feet as I do. Has roughly the same cheeky grin as I do and owns a green jacket. Mike is my HDR teacher and I have learned a lot from watching his photos and talking with him using IM. He was also very helpful with my switch from the Nikon D5700 to a DSLR (D70) I bought from his colleague/friend. and It's not just me he helps. And that is probably why his aka. is MikEx. If you go through Mikes photostream you'll see a lot of things, but here are some of the things I think he likes the most. The pond outside a mall in Boston. Flowers BUGS!!!! Stacks HDRs How cold/hot it is outside. How much snow that has arrived. His trips to other flickr friends. Mike is not limited to only these things and I always like to browse through his photostream. Check it out. I think you would like it!

Mike is full of great advise, he's happy to help anyone out, whether they be in the street, up a mountain or in his back garden stealing his tulips!

Mike has a cool life. Going back and forth between a city and absolutely nothing-ness. Snow. Plentiful amounts of storage. A cool computer (which I will get one of my own).

Mike is Nikon's greatest fan. His photos rock, his HDR skills are awesome, and as a bonus, he's a Mac fn too! W00t, as we all like to say in unison.

January 18, 2007

How to sum Mike up in one sentence..."Mike wouldn't stop taking photo's if we all paid him to". Mike's awesome! Just like his photos :-D His fisheye lens rocks too!
