I'm kicking myself that I hadn't checked out Simon's work earlier. Beautiful, and well observed pictures, filled with creativity.

Ive slowly got to know the man behind some of the most creative stuff on Flickr. I dont know how he does it, but he does it very well and there's no stopping him. Unquestionably innovative and expressive but also decent and honest in his approach.

Your photos are very interesting and full of insight. Love your work and your ideas. I'm a big fan, keep them coming.

I'm a fan! His Frankencameras are on the top of my list of items I want to steal in this lifetime and not feel guilty about. Together we made a turban fly during a film swap.

Simon is an evil genius. No camera is safe from his insatiable mod-lust. No technique will ever be the same once he has gotten his hands on it. You name it, he has tried it, and done it ten times better than anyone before. You never know what you're going to get when you venture into Simon's photostream, but you can always count on being completely surprised and amazed at his latest photo-shenanigans.
