Gao is one of my favorite photographer. He has the ability to capture powerful emotion and moods through his lens and tell a story with visual images. Viewing his photostream, gives me a chance to see other part of the world I've always wanted to visit. I appreciate his friendship and kind spirit. I am grateful to call him my friend.

When I log on to Flickr, I go to see Gao's photos very frequently. His pictures are a window to his part of the world and the daily events of the area which are fascinating to me. One thing that Gao conveys well in his photos is a very human view of life. Gao sees things such as the smiles of the people on the streets,… Read more

When I log on to Flickr, I go to see Gao's photos very frequently. His pictures are a window to his part of the world and the daily events of the area which are fascinating to me. One thing that Gao conveys well in his photos is a very human view of life. Gao sees things such as the smiles of the people on the streets, or the face of a small child. He captures these moments and posts his photos for all of us to see. I've admired Gao's photography for a long time now, and I'll be looking forward to seeing more of his great work in the future.

I found my way to star_trooper's photostream via his Tibet pictures, which include many awe-inspiring images of that country, displaying Gao's wonderful talent for composition. More breathtaking images can be found in his Mauritius set, and his night shots of Bejiing are stunning. He is also a skilled photographer of… Read more

I found my way to star_trooper's photostream via his Tibet pictures, which include many awe-inspiring images of that country, displaying Gao's wonderful talent for composition. More breathtaking images can be found in his Mauritius set, and his night shots of Bejiing are stunning. He is also a skilled photographer of people, capturing many magical moments. I feel I know Gao well, through his sensitive compositions and the insightful descriptions that accompany them. Thanks for showing me these glimpses of lands I have yet to visit, Gao. : )

star trooper has one of the best portfolios I have seen on flickr. study work like his and you can make something we take for granted look absolutely beautiful and meaning full. His photography puts you with him. Few photographers can give you that sense of being and feeling. And humble to boot. His style spans from journalistic to artistic and everything in between. I can only hope that someday he sits down and writes about his gift that so many of us work for. I look forward to seen more and more. Keep up the good work friend.
