Well, where to do I start... Noel's photography, is well, just OK, kidding! Seriously! Noel is a super talented photographer with a TON of patience, which this hobby desperately requires. He's an educator willing to tell you how it is, and that's the most important aspect I personally value about him. He's also a great photographer, just look at his photo stream, and most importantly, he's a family guy that is obviously crazy about his son and family which is reflected in a lot of this work. It speaks for itself. It's genuine and full of life, and I enjoy learning from him and his photos. You should/will too.

I've had the pleasure of watching Noel progress from point-and-shoot - with which he shot images beyond the quality one would expect from such equipment -- to dSLR, where his talents are allowed to really take flight. He has an oustanding eye for subject matter, whether it's people, place or object, and his mastery of… Read more

I've had the pleasure of watching Noel progress from point-and-shoot - with which he shot images beyond the quality one would expect from such equipment -- to dSLR, where his talents are allowed to really take flight. He has an oustanding eye for subject matter, whether it's people, place or object, and his mastery of light is fast becoming a trademark of his style. With little time to process and load my own images, I've even less time to really enjoy the images of others. However, I check out every shot Noel loads to his photostream and am never disappointed in the visual experience. Truly a professional in the making.

I have watched Noel's photostream for the better part of half a year now and with every new photo that he adds I am continually amazed and inspired by his work. His work is always intriguing, extraordinary and a genuine pleasure to view. If I manage to someday be half the photographer he is now, I'll be very pleased… Read more

I blame Noel 100% for my active involvement on Flickr. I had an account and let it sit idle for a long time before Noel reintroduced me. I've enjoyed Noel's Venice photos for as long as he's been taking them. Noel is quickly becoming a master of light and shutter. Its always a pleasure to see what scenes catch his eye… Read more

I blame Noel 100% for my active involvement on Flickr. I had an account and let it sit idle for a long time before Noel reintroduced me. I've enjoyed Noel's Venice photos for as long as he's been taking them. Noel is quickly becoming a master of light and shutter. Its always a pleasure to see what scenes catch his eye and how he opts to capture the moment.

Very rarely will I spend the time to go through someone's entire stream when they are as large as Noel's. And, as well--very rarely am I inspired enough to write a testimonial for someone's work/stream. In Noel's case--it is different. He added me as a contact and I thought to take a look at his work before adding him … Read more

Very rarely will I spend the time to go through someone's entire stream when they are as large as Noel's. And, as well--very rarely am I inspired enough to write a testimonial for someone's work/stream. In Noel's case--it is different. He added me as a contact and I thought to take a look at his work before adding him as well. I found myself sifting though his work through its entirety. I am completely impressed with Noel's work. Noel has the ability to capture candid portraits of children and new fathers. He has the ability to capture serene sunsets with fantastic color saturation and composition. I am impressed with his work and find his work inspirational. I will be a frequent visitor to Noel's stream.

I met Noel about a year back while on honeymoon in Italy. What a great guy! Didn't even know me, but leant me a memory card for the remainder of my trip to mail back to him upon my return to the States. We've been friends ever since. I also owe Noel a big thanks for introducing me to flickr. Once I started posting… Read more

I met Noel about a year back while on honeymoon in Italy. What a great guy! Didn't even know me, but leant me a memory card for the remainder of my trip to mail back to him upon my return to the States. We've been friends ever since. I also owe Noel a big thanks for introducing me to flickr. Once I started posting, I was hooked. I've watched Noel's skills explode in the last year. He takes some great shots of life in Cali! And let's not forget muliti-Noel and some of his inspiring shots from The Giving Spirit. You never know what he's gonna shoot next and that's what makes his flickr so much fun.
