I'd always heard on flickr about sarah and one day i decided to check her out. cue me gaining a smile while clicking through the pages of her stream. i think i can honestly and truely say that sarah is one of a kind. she's a charming, sweet and lovely girl. while also being a incredible editor for racing minds. and a rather wonderful photographer, paticularly her film, yes that inspires me so much. I see so much for you in the future when i look at your work. I swear one day i'll pick up a magazine in a shop and see 'Sarah Nieman' written across it. SARAH I LOVE YOU, SARAH I DO, WHEN WE'RE APART MY HEART BEATS ONLY FOR YOU.

this girl is beautiful and lovely and sweet and she's adorable when she uses random objects to make moustaches on skype :) racing minds is magnificent and has expanded so much since it's first issue over a year ago, all thanks to her. but i mostly love her because she has this magical quality to her photographs, and sh… Read more

this girl is beautiful and lovely and sweet and she's adorable when she uses random objects to make moustaches on skype :) racing minds is magnificent and has expanded so much since it's first issue over a year ago, all thanks to her. but i mostly love her because she has this magical quality to her photographs, and she is so passionate about her art. she is an awe-inspiring person, the kind everyone should have in their lives. most importantly, in this amazing photographer, magazine editor, and inspiration, i have found a friend :)

WHY HAVE I NOT DONE THIS/?!? siriusly. oh sarah, there's really nothing i can really say about you in this little white box that can contain how much i love you. truthfully, before i (on a whim, if you want the truth) started talking to you in june, i had heard about you, you seemed to be everywhere on flickr, actu… Read more

WHY HAVE I NOT DONE THIS/?!? siriusly. oh sarah, there's really nothing i can really say about you in this little white box that can contain how much i love you. truthfully, before i (on a whim, if you want the truth) started talking to you in june, i had heard about you, you seemed to be everywhere on flickr, actually. from our harry potter-ness, tokbox, racing minds, facebook, and everything in between, let me say: you are the apple to my pie and the straw to my berry.

sarah sarah sarah i don't know why i haven't written you a testimonial yet, i feel so dumb. i remember when i first came upon your stream, it was about a year ago (with my old account) and i was in awe. i remember i use to go to your stream daily to make sure i didn't miss any of your uploads ( i know i'm a nerd). you… Read more

sarah sarah sarah i don't know why i haven't written you a testimonial yet, i feel so dumb. i remember when i first came upon your stream, it was about a year ago (with my old account) and i was in awe. i remember i use to go to your stream daily to make sure i didn't miss any of your uploads ( i know i'm a nerd). your a truly amazing photographer my dear. in my opinion, you film shots are the best i have seen on this site. they are so wonderful. from the painting of your face to your lanscapes to your films to your portraits to your videos and to your outstanding concepts you are such an inspiration to me, and to all of flickr. don't ever stop taking pictures, ever. thank you so much. you are wonderful :)

SARAH my goodness this is long overdue and it will be edited very often to cram more goodness into it you are my first friend on flickr and the most incredible person. your photos inspire me to be me and not just an image.

SARAH my goodness this is long overdue and it will be edited very often to cram more goodness into it you are my first friend on flickr and the most incredible person. your photos inspire me to be me and not just an image. The honesty is overwhelming and don't even get me started on the brilliance of your film. I cannot wait until we can actually meet and have a brilliant and epic photo shoot filled with film. you. are. incredible. the end. (for now)

Dear Sarah, You are a true inspiration. You never give up, no matter what others have to say. You find such a wonderful acceptance in yourself that I will never be able to accomplish. Your film pictures are incredible. You have a passion that is very evident when viewing your stream. You have so much potential and g… Read more

Dear Sarah, You are a true inspiration. You never give up, no matter what others have to say. You find such a wonderful acceptance in yourself that I will never be able to accomplish. Your film pictures are incredible. You have a passion that is very evident when viewing your stream. You have so much potential and grow so much with your photography. You have such wonderful, supportive contacts and it isn't hard to see why. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Please don't ever lose your grasp on that. From, your interesting, awkward, tap-dancing, cliche buddy. :)

I want to know Sarah. I mean, first off, she has the same name as me, so she's obviously radical. Two, I just looked through pages and pages of her stream and felt a creative wave hit me, so that says something. She is much more personal than many people on this site, I feel as though through her photos I can connect t… Read more

I want to know Sarah. I mean, first off, she has the same name as me, so she's obviously radical. Two, I just looked through pages and pages of her stream and felt a creative wave hit me, so that says something. She is much more personal than many people on this site, I feel as though through her photos I can connect to her, and that is an amazing skill to have as a photographer, weather you want it or not. I can't wait to ask Sarah questions and learn more about her, the story behind her photos.

sarahs one of my favorites here on flickr, she always has the sweetest things to say about my work and always has been so friendly! her streams showed so much improvement lately and i love checking it out :) ps you just left me the cutest testimonial ever, thank you :) you're such a good person, continue doing … Read more

i enjoy editing testimonials. ;) sarahsarahsarah. there's too much to say here, so this is going in LIST FORMAT!!!! 8D you're awesome. you're an amazing photographer. you'll go plaid shirt shopping with me. even if you won't actually go over the bridge, you'll put a toe on it. :) you have awesomeawesomeawesome hair that i want. you're an amazing photographer. you make pillows that say i'm lame. you laugh at the spastic little drawings i do for you, even if they suck. you make faces on apples. you'll make an awesome stop motion with me at some point. you're an amazing photographer. you'll have a pickiness contest with me (and we'll tie). you'll go tramping through the woods to find some barbed wire and water to take pictures of. you'll endure my shouts of "I AM AQUAMAN!!!!". ...at least for a while. you'll giggle at the funny people going by us as we peoplewatch, no matter if it's at school or the mall. even though you don't like hunting, you'll still listen to my hunting stories...up to a point. ;) you can (sort of) calm me down when i go insane (mwahaha) in the hall, which is no mean feat, hahaha. you'll (mostly) listen to my nonsensical rants. and be able to decipher what i meant at the end (no matter how much you say you can't). you'll probably read this entire epic testimonial just to see what it says. you'll encourage my photography (even when it's actually really crappy). you'll drink milk with me until we pretty much explode. you'll sit there and shake your head as me and melanie poke each other and make funny noises. you'll sit there with me until we come up with a good idea for the leah and sarah show (or do many takes until the randomness is too awesome to take). you'll list all the awesome things we need to do together on your cell phone (even though it probably won't happen besides plaid shirt shopping and bike riding). you'll laugh at my stupid jokes. you'll spot new hotties, and get angry when you can't see the new ones i've spotted, or when you can't show me yours. you'll indulge (and participate in) my shouting of "WE'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE!!!!" and switching. you'll sneak up behind me or someone at my table at lunch, just to see how long it takes for them to notice you. you'll give me one of your awesome hugs if i'm sad. you'll obsess over twilight with me. you'll try to help me stop overthinking geometry in study hall. you'll take amazing videos at the pageant, and then play them over and over again just to relive the moment. you'll come up with actual bike routes for us to go on so we can take pictures. you'll know how to cheer me up no matter what. you'll probably freak out in happiness when i tell you that there is a neon orange crayon on my desk right now. you'll probably flickrmail me after you read that just to tell me that you WERE really happy about the neon orange crayon. you'll eat lettuce just to try it (even if you end up hating it). you'll let someone take a video of you eating said lettuce. you'll wear your speed suit to school along with your bib, not caring what anyone else thinks. you'll text a random guy on your team to try to get him to wear his too, only to be disappointed by the fact that he has a lacrosse game the following day and can't wear it because he has to wear his lacrosse stuff. you'll tell me i cut oranges with a plastic spoon even though it was really an apple. you'll have me come up with questions for your interview just from me (and then actually ask them and put them up, even when they include light fixtures). you'll keep trying to get your testimonial for me as long as mine for you, even though it'll never happen. ;) you probably get really excited (or at least smile while shaking your head in disbelief) every time i update this small novel. you'll laugh when this eventually gets so long that flickr has a hiccup and won't let me publish it because it's so long. you'll also laugh when i get really pissed when it does that. you'll ALSO laugh when you find out that i just got really excited by finding out that i can make the box bigger, so i can see what i've written. your first thought when finding out that you may go to college with some hot guy is to flickrmail me and tell me about it. you'll probably burst out laughing when you see the shirt i'm going to wear tomorrow. you'll get frustrated when you find out that no, i'm not going to tell you what it looks like now, just to increase the suspense. you'll go in the hot tub in the snow with me. you'll sometimes get out of said hot tub into the cold for a while just so we can giggle when it feels all tingly. you'll understand when i say i have to stop updating now to see if i can eat some ice cream before i go to bed. youll go on 16 mile bike rides with me and then turn around after 10 miles because it's all uphill. youll let me glomp you and then get disappointed if i forget. youll listen to npsh with me. youll have me recite a soliloquoy for the leah and sarah show, because we can. youll make sarah idol for the leah and sarah show, because we can. youll paint your face just to take pictures. (and let me do it with you even though my face looks a bit like mush.) youll come with me to my locker on (most) b days so we can stay arm locked (even though you sometimes go the other way), and then do synchronized skipping with me. youll take kerri's side in telling all of us that cake is not a pastry (even though it is). youll get pissed when i poke you in the stomach sometimes, but it's the times you giggle that count. you won't even question me anymore when i shout random things such as "NINJA!" or "I WIN!" into empty space due to some thought that was going through my head at the moment. you just shake your head and smile. youll save me an entire page in your yearbook (even though you still didn't let me finish yet). youll love me (most of the time) even though i'm a complete idiot. (love you too.) youll probably laugh when you read that i had a plastic spoon throughout my geometry test and geo final (and that neither teacher questioned it). youll probably flickrmail me and go holy crap leah enough updates??! when you find out that i added like another novel length to this already novel-length epicly awesome testimonial. youll again understand when i say i have to stop updating now even though i'll probably do so again later or tomorrow because it is now 815 and i still haven't eaten dinner. youll tell me when someone else has likely beaten me for the longest testimonial you have, because you know i will be completely heartbroken. youll also climb onto the roof for a picture in a dress. youll be my model for the day, but only because we're doing photography projects on each other. youll make epic collab stop motions. youll make signs just to do that. youll read this and laugh because i'm actually trying to get this so long that flickr can't comprehend it. youll read that last one and think "wow, leah is really stupid." youll read THAT last one and think "wow, leah reads my mind." youll understand when i say that there is a pencil sharpener next to me, and that it's staring me down. youll also understand when i say "LOL BOUNCING LITTLE GIRL." clapclap youll probably be really disgusted when i tell you that i saw a candy shop selling chocolate covered orange peel today. youll probably laugh, however, when i tell you that in that candy shop, some guy giggled and yelled "it's a squirrely!!!" when he saw one outside the window. (he was probably 17, and and extreme tough guy.) youll take your hair down when it's really hot out, because you love me enough so that i can get a good picture of you :D "TAKE THAT, HELLHOUND!" youll laugh at my idiocy in that last statement. youll probably check your profile after accepting this just to see if i accomplished my goal of making this so long that flickr cannot comprehend it yet. youll cry when you realize i haven't. youll flickrmail me to tell me that i haven't so that i will be able to achieve this goal. youll laugh when you realize you were actually going to do this. (or when you realize that you weren't, but are going to now.) youll tell me to climb into a wardrobe so that you can get a fun picture. youll actually try to make said wardrobe into narnia at my request. youll probably tell hanna that i might have gotten my testimonial longer again. (just to keep this going. you know you like it.) youll shake your head and sigh and say either, "oh leah." or, "leah leah leah." when you see this, but read the whole thing anyway, just to get these bits of comedic gold. (not really.) youll know as soon as you read this that i am completely out of ideas for the moment and am going to leave this, and then do some more later. youll go see harry potter with me, even though it's your 2nd or 3rd time and it's my 2nd. we're cool like that. youll warn me of the dangers of my teachers this year whether i want it or not, because you love me and care too much for my mental safety to not warn me. youll limp on both legs with me when we get sunburns. you wont float in the ocean with a dress on, but youll promise to do so later on in a lake. youll try getting out far enough in the ocean to float in it, no matter how cold the water is here. youll have epic photoshoots with me every time i come to your house or you come to mine. we never run out of things to do. especially when dresses come into the picture. youll trust me with the poses i put you in (sometimes) because they come out good. in the right light. youll be surprised to find out that most of those poses DID come out good from our epic photoshoot. youll be elated to discover that i have, once again, edited your testimonial with several strange but true comments. maybe not, but still. now you are. youll laugh when i tell you that my legs are still gigantically red. youll rant about things that are awesome or extremely bad with me. youll listen to any kind of music, which makes me happy because i don't have to worry about finding something that youll like. because you don't care. it works out. youll listen to me rant about anything, even if it's something you don't care about. (mostly.) youll make pincer noises with me. youll probably agree when i say daniel radcliffe was definitely high when the shot the scenes with felix. youll feel refreshed by the new things i'm putting on here when you come home from camping. *coughcatcoughahem* youll delete all the random crap you wrote on my testimonial when you realize that you can never attain the awesome length that this one has over the years. (well, months. years has a better dramatic effect.) youll get creeped out by my faceless picture of you, but all of yours are fine. (bahahahaha. just goes to show that i am a creepy person.) yours is the longest testimonial i've written. hands down. no contest. you're an amazing photographer. ^^^^ have i mentioned that enough?? i loves youuuu :D AND YOU ARE NOT LAME!!!!!!! (......most of the time.) ;) hehehe
