It was 'love at first sight' with Maura! She overwhelmed me with her brilliant and outstanding photographs and she dazzled me with her charm and honesty.

It was 'love at first sight' with Maura! She overwhelmed me with her brilliant and outstanding photographs and she dazzled me with her charm and honesty. When I joined flickr at the request of a friend, i never realized I could meet talents such as Maura's, an exceptionally talented photographer, but foremost a wonderfully warm, kind and loving human being! And win her as a friend as well!!! Only technique does not make a great photographer: one needs also a great eye and a great heart! Maura sums it all up! You have it all, my friend! I thank You, and Paul... and of course sweetie Max! Thanks for being my friend... loads of love to you. You now have an Italian friend for life! Yours mariana

Maura and I came across each other like most of us do on this wonderful community site, but immediately I felt a warmth and respect for her and even from her. As I studied her work, I realized something new...(a really inspiring occurrence I find happening often on this site), and I realized that there was lily ~no end~ to the perspectives in which we all see a thing or things. Being a spiritual person, (not religious), I've drawn so very much insight from so many people here. Maura would certainly be one of those people. To see through her eyes is not only an adventure, it feels almost surreal at times. Her sunsets take my breath away and inspire me to try see more than I already see myself. Not only do I love see in the world through her eyes, but I love the fact that she's such a warm, caring, friendly and deeply supportive person. She seems to just ~know~ when I (and very likely many others too), need "recognition" or confidence building. (and boy do I need it, lol) It's people like Maura that make this community so utterly unique and "addictive" but only in the best possible way. Maura thank you for your encouragement. All I have is my little 1.5 mp cell phone camera but that can't stop me (Or anyone else who has the "bug" we all share here, lol), and you just seem to believe in me and let me tell you that I wouldn't ever have honed and honed my "skills" without people like you egging me on. You seem to have a sixth sense about you and are there....just at the right time....and I'm ALWAYS waaay behind schedule in getting back onto your (and others) streams to return the love. (It's all your fault! You've created a MONSTER, ha ha). Maura is a true Visionary in this field and someone I hope to be able to share, exchange, and learn from for many years to come. One helluva photographer!
