I appreciate each and everyone's comments en I'll try to comment back as much as I can.

However, I will try to keep my contacts limited, because I've noticed that not everyone's new upload can be seen in "recent uploads" immediately or worse...I will completely miss your beautiful photo.

If photography means just ‘clicking and taking pictures’, then Maria Jo is more than a photographer. Going through her flickr stream, anyone can easily justify this statement. She is an artist. Her images always bear some special meanings, some special thinking, some special passion…. There are always some urges for beauty to be expressed. But once she stated about herself as an illustrator and painter, in her won words, “I am more an illustrator and painter than a photographer”. I disagreed on this word -“more”… rather I would like to say, Maria Jo is an artist…… more than any photographer, painter or illustrator. She is an amazing talent. I like both her works and passion for works. She is also kind, friendly, helpful and cheerful! Sometimes, I got tips, advice and helps from her. Lastly, I want to thank Maria… for her images, helps, friendship… for everything. Thank you Maria!

I am a Flickr contact of Maria Jo (okkibox) and am inspired by her works of art. She has the ability to see the beauty in everything and the gift to bring this beauty to life in her photography. Thank-you and I am very glad to be your contact. - Lorraine (1booker)

Maria Jo is een hele lieve vrouw, soms wat te perfectionistisch en erg kritisch, maar (mede daardoor) is dit een schitterende fotostream geworden!!! Waarvoor hulde!

I have only just come across Maria's photostream, almost by chance. Virtually every photo is stunnining! She brings a freshness to her subjects that says she is a photographer "par excellence". Another Flickr friend from whom one can learn so much. If you have just found her photos I envy you the pleasure that you have to come. Please keep up the good work and thank you so much for sharing your photos. Happy New Year and a prosperous 2009! Best wishes, Trevor.
