What more can be said about the Venkman that has not been spoken so eloquently by all these wonderful friends? Besides creating awesome perspectives, vivid depictions, heart stopping images, and excellent imagery of visual poetry. I will say that Stephen does close his eyes when he sneezes-I bet you didn't think you see that on your profile. Your alright Venkata, I don't care what your wife says about you. Heh. Venkata : from the name of a sacred hill in southern India.

I pondered for a very long time trying to consider carefully how I'd testimonialize you; what I'd say about this magic man, here. I came up with one word to describe you ... "noble." Yes, you take great pictures, but "SL Photographer" is nowhere near all you are, Venk. There are not many truly noble men left in the wo… Read more

I pondered for a very long time trying to consider carefully how I'd testimonialize you; what I'd say about this magic man, here. I came up with one word to describe you ... "noble." Yes, you take great pictures, but "SL Photographer" is nowhere near all you are, Venk. There are not many truly noble men left in the world, much less, in a second life. How blessed we are to have you here ... a loving, caring, trustworthy "real" man whom I have the pleasure (and delight!), the true joy, to call a friend. Keep it coming, sir. It's good stuff.

____________ My best friend, my beautiful brother. A man of many layers and levels and depths. He's compassionate, caring, loving and a family man. He has honor and is honest and lives up to his words. I trust him implicitely. He's nonjudgemental, being quite human himself, he knows how easy it is to err to the l… Read more

____________ My best friend, my beautiful brother. A man of many layers and levels and depths. He's compassionate, caring, loving and a family man. He has honor and is honest and lives up to his words. I trust him implicitely. He's nonjudgemental, being quite human himself, he knows how easy it is to err to the left. He's forgiving and protective of those he loves. And his art? His art speaks so many languages in so many diverse ways... his art is a direct reflection of all those levels, depths and layers that make up who he is. And each time you think you've understood the message behind his art, each time you think you've peeled the last layer, or reached the depth where you believe you finally understand what makes this man tick... he shows you another layer to peel, another level to climb. And that's why you keep coming back for more. I love you, Stephen. _______________________

With his beloved by his side, Venks has and continues to soar higher and higher. I sit in total amazement and watch and learn. Thank you for callin me friend Mr Venkman. You are also my Teacher. xHNx

what can there be said about his work of art other then pure masterpeices.... every picture he does has a story behind it and it has both a begining and an end to it .. complete work of art , picture subject, lightning , color and creativity always works in perfect harmony together and create amazing pictures without getting the story behind the picture lost ... Not many can acually reflect so much in a picture without losing what it is really about but he does it not just once but almost everytime he creates a picture .. Truly talanted digital artist wich keeps wanting u come back to see more and you always get more amazed when you see it. Just stunning work Venkman thanks for sharing it with us and let us enjoy your special artistic talent.

Venk. My brotha from anotha motha! What can I say about you that hasn't been said already...

Venk. My brotha from anotha motha! What can I say about you that hasn't been said already... You were one of the first people to truly welcome me into this Flickr community with open arms, an open mind, and an open heart. The tremendous gratitude I have for your friendship, your eye, and your opinions is just... unquantifiable. You glow. Your work is exquisite and beautiful. You "see" so much, in ways that I never would've even imagined had I been faced with the same scenes that you capture. The wonder of your artistic eye is something that continues to fascinate me everytime I pop on over for a visit. Most of all, I am grateful for your friendship. You have to be one of the kindest people I've ever met. You're open, truthful, straight forward, no bullshit, and I love that about you. You can smack me around, tell it like it is, and lift me up like no one else. This is what makes you so special, Venk. I cherish your honesty and you're always there to give me a morale boost if I need one. So simple a thing that so many people overlook! Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have you in my Second Life. Keep shining, my friend. Much love.

Mr. Stephen Venkman ... hmmm ... what can I say that you all don't already know? He's a Master Artist. He's a wonderful brother, father, cousin, and we all know he makes Kim happy (and vice versa :)) ... not to mention a super wonderful friend! I have witnessed it! So, any new information so far??

Mr. Stephen Venkman ... hmmm ... what can I say that you all don't already know? He's a Master Artist. He's a wonderful brother, father, cousin, and we all know he makes Kim happy (and vice versa :)) ... not to mention a super wonderful friend! I have witnessed it! So, any new information so far?? Nahh, we already knew these things about Stephen. I guess I just had to put my 2 cents in :)) HUGS

When I first saw Stephen's work on Flickr, and nothing looks like it, my first tough was that somebody with such an eye for beauty must be an extraordinary person.

When I first saw Stephen's work on Flickr, and nothing looks like it, my first tough was that somebody with such an eye for beauty must be an extraordinary person. Useless to say that I was not one bit deceived. Stephen is not only an outstanding artist, doing stunning graphic work of an exceptional sensitivity. His work looks incredible, simply because it transpires his own humanity. And this what Stephen is, extraordinarily human. And funny, no i really mean hilarious, inventive, interesting, cultivated, brilliant. You just can't be bored with such person in your life, everything he does chains a reaction that pleases everybody. They may be rare, but Steph is a good guy. A damn good one. You will know that the second you meet him, and once you do, you will never look back. Love you Stephen, I so praise the Lindens for meeting you.
