I've known Ruel for quite a long time and he's a good friend. We worked together in Batam, Indonesia and I've seen from him a good talent in photography. He took the pics not as an amateur but more than a professional photographer. I knew that this kind of hobby is quite costly from the camera he used and its accessories. Whew, he's really something spending a lot of money for his hobby. Well, I knew that someday all of what he spent will not perish. With his enthusiasm, perseverance, ability, talent and creativity will lead him to success.

Ruel is nothing less than inspirational! His portraits are a marvelous example of perfection. His IR images have been astonishing me since the first time I laid eyes on them. It is a true honor to have Ruel as a contact here on Flickr. I will continue to learn and grow, with each image he is kind enough to share. Ruel,… Read more

I have just discovered Ruel's photostream about 2 days ago and here I am writing a testimonial for him. That is how good Ruel's work is. Often your find some good photographer in flickr that are good but have really only few genre that they're good in. Ruel is different in a way that he shoots everything from potrait to street shots and from B & W to infrared and they all look good, in fact they all look great. I always tell my friends that if you go to Ruel's photostream, just pick any page and you won't be dissapointed... I normally spend hours on end on his photostream whenever I logged into Flickr since I found his photostream. Thanks Ruel for sharing.
