Once you view dbthayer’s photo stream you will find yourself returning time and time again. His images are powerful and striking in the most elegant of ways; both in style and content. When you see them you will know what I mean. He is able to communicate the essence of a moment in time that rings eternal and leaves an echo. He is exquisitely talented, yet humble. His dry wit is the perfect compliment to his imagery. Ms Corky

I actually knew Doug from before his 25 year recess and find it completely unsurprising to see this level of ability. He always had it. As with all the really good ones, talent wins out eventually. By the way, I still have one of your books and the cumulative weight of guilt over the years is staggering. May I return i… Read more

I actually knew Doug from before his 25 year recess and find it completely unsurprising to see this level of ability. He always had it. As with all the really good ones, talent wins out eventually. By the way, I still have one of your books and the cumulative weight of guilt over the years is staggering. May I return it, or make good somehow?

dbthayer is one of my five fave photographers on Flickr. I have to avoid visiting his stream too often because I have a life and can't spend all the time I would like with these images. I also find it hard not to favorite nearly all of them. It's all in his way of seeing and then presenting what he see's. His sensitive… Read more

dbthayer is one of my five fave photographers on Flickr. I have to avoid visiting his stream too often because I have a life and can't spend all the time I would like with these images. I also find it hard not to favorite nearly all of them. It's all in his way of seeing and then presenting what he see's. His sensitive framing of shots and eye for color, form, rhythm, value, line, and pattern make his work truly special. -Kim Seattle Daily Photo

I've "known" Doug for a few years here on Flickr, but today was the first time I sat down to take a good look at his photostream... Oh! What I've been missing! This is one of the most outstanding collections on Flickr... an amazing combination of skill and subjects all perfected throught Doug's unique vision of his world. I stand in awe! This is a photostream that should be your first stop when you log on to Flickr. Thanks Doug, for sharing your truly outstanding work with us on Flickr... I for one really appreciate it!

Anyone who wants to see beautifully composed, consistent excellent photography stop reading this silly testimonial and look for yourself: www.flickr.com/ph.... Lots of people take excellent pictures on flickr, but of the hundreds and hundreds I've seen over the past year, few can match Douglas's consistency. All… Read more

Anyone who wants to see beautifully composed, consistent excellent photography stop reading this silly testimonial and look for yourself: www.flickr.com/ph.... Lots of people take excellent pictures on flickr, but of the hundreds and hundreds I've seen over the past year, few can match Douglas's consistency. All the more amazing/scary is that he took a 25-year hiatus from photography and has only been back at it for a few months. Doesn't seem very fair.
