There are many people that I gravitate to on flicker..... but there are few as special as Udayan Kapur!!!!!!!!! His genuiness,his honesty, and class, mixed with a photographic talent sets him way apart from the masses. He caught my eye 6 months ago when he introduced himself to me on my photostream!!!!!!!!!! I was impressed..........right away with him because I could see a keeness and a desire to learn..........a desire to get it right ............a desire because there was an obvious love of photography running through his viens...and a great photgraphic eye to go with it. One of the bonuses or rather pluses of of having a friend like Udayan is the banter ..........as I love the camera banter and I love the banter concerning the shot .....he asks alot of questions........... and what gets me is they are all questions I would ask ,...........and I have been doing this seriously for 36 years! .So here is a young man just really starting to get his feet wet and not only has he thrown himself into photography but his common sense........ and his drive for perfection ..........makes him stand out so much as compared to others who have been it for many many more years than him!!!!!!!!!!! But there is something that is even bigger that has blown me away because when you get right down to it talk is cheap.............. his abilities are phenominal as a photographer!!!!!! I took notice of Udayan 6 months ago as I said............., and every time he posts since I first met him......... there is a significant improvement!!.............. and I can say with the utmost sincerity that he is borderline to a professional in the field ..........he is now at a serious level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What took me years to get to he has accomplished in what ......1/2 a year !!!!!!!!!!! What a talent ...........what ability.......what an incredible photographer !!!!!!!!! The big bonus here is that I consider him a close loyal friend and to be honest I am the one who is lucky to know him,.......... because he is someday so going to catch me and by pass me..... MARK MY WORDS....... as he has a natural ability that I see clearly even at these early stages........what a phenominal talent .........and what a great friend that I`m lucky to know................. and I know one thing about Udayan for sure ................he has my back.....I trust him as he is trustworthy ............and he is true soul a reliable friend ...a human being that you could count on.....Very old school for the times....and that is what this world is lacking ......Its called integrity ....its called honour.........his biggest fault that im really upset though with Udayan which is huge is........................... he doesnt live in Toronto because this is one person I would love to shoot with.....for that im pissed at you.lolololololololloolololololo!!!!!!!!!! 2 1/2 weeks ago I wrote a testimonial to my good friend ..........and was so busy tweaking it I didn`t didn`t send it right away........then in the mean time, Udayan sent me a testimonial!!!!!!!!...( talk about the student teaching the teacher)...... which not only shocked me.......... but touched me..........I waited a week before I sent him the Testimonial that I wrote for him back then, because I didn`t want him to feel it was payback as he truly has earned that testimonial.... and this testimonial on his own merrit........ because he is that good of a photographer ...A diamond in the rough comes to mind when I think of Udayan..........Now you will notice I said...... and mentioned....... a testimonial prior to this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....I errased it by accident !!!!!!!!!!!While trying to fix some spelling mistakes!!!!!!!!!! SHIT SHIT SHIT!!!!!!!! ( I`m a perfectionist too........... just not as computer savy as I should be lolololololo)...however it took me 45 minutes to type this very easy to write compliment ... this honest true Testimonial to Udayan ............because when its true its easy to write..............and Udayan.....This was a no brainer to write...... You are a great friend.......... and you are one hell of a photographer......... so look out you photo buffs that think you know it all in the photography arena............ because this guy is going to make a differance...........my apoligies for the deletion my friend........ I hope you feel this does you justice because your such a fine photographer and friend... In time as your Testimonials will grow (and they will grow ) you will remember I did your first two !!!!!!!!lololololololo.............All the best to you...............Howard
