Other than professional, he is an awesome person for being so down to earth replying every single comment he gets. And I find myself looking forward for his shots, checking the site whenever I am possible, at school or home. Real inspiration.

Ew... Todd's making the best live performances pictures i ever seen actually. I'm watching a lot of people doing that, cuz, well, i'm very interested by that kind of pics, also that's what i like doing much more than the others shoots. Todd's very talented, he's working a lot, he switches with few lenses to get fkin differents views with subtility, i'm really really surprized by every single pictures he post right here right now & on his portfolio/blog. Keep doing like dat Todd, day after day, little by little i wanna drop my gear, left Canon and going Nikon with the D3, this camera's really powerful. Oh, yeah ppl, gear don't do the shoot, however in live performanes set, it helps a lot, i don't wanna say Todd without good gear cannot do anything, of course, his eye's really good, he's very talented. Keep doin' mate.
