Rachael :) I'm shocked that I never took the time to write you one of these. It seems like years ago when I first stumbled upon the golden sunrays of your stream. But you were one of the very first people whose streams I checked constantly, and you were one of my favorite contacts. Look how far you've come. Your photographs are more stunning with each upload, you are on the staff of one of the my favorite young artists' magazines, and you are highly respected in the flickr and photography community. But most importantly, your photographs are each a piece of you and they show so much into your life and your soul. And that, in and of itself, is the reason why you inspire me as much as you do. Never stop. Love, Kay

Rachael, you have that elusive ability to capture life at its most beautiful. It's not just about being in the right place at the right time, with the right people and the right light; it's about knowing instinctively when to press the shutter. A feeling, not a skill. You have it, and I envy it, and your photographs te… Read more

Rachael, you have that elusive ability to capture life at its most beautiful. It's not just about being in the right place at the right time, with the right people and the right light; it's about knowing instinctively when to press the shutter. A feeling, not a skill. You have it, and I envy it, and your photographs teach me ways of finding it too. Thank you for being so inspiring, and so brilliant. x

Rachel.... there's so much to say. I've had the honor to watch you grow here on Flickr. And boy have your talents grown. Some of your simplest photos are the most beautiful; you have such an eye for light and emotion. And with your recent photos that aren't self-portaits, you have continued to show that you can capt… Read more

Rachel.... there's so much to say. I've had the honor to watch you grow here on Flickr. And boy have your talents grown. Some of your simplest photos are the most beautiful; you have such an eye for light and emotion. And with your recent photos that aren't self-portaits, you have continued to show that you can capture that in other areas. I know if you keep at this, you are going to go far.

Editing this testimonial again because she constantly amazes me. Rachael is an amazing photographer, no doubts about that. She can just go out to the park in the evening, a very casual thing to do, but she brings her camera and manages to take amazing shots everyday with the golden hour.

Editing this testimonial again because she constantly amazes me. Rachael is an amazing photographer, no doubts about that. She can just go out to the park in the evening, a very casual thing to do, but she brings her camera and manages to take amazing shots everyday with the golden hour. Her golden hour pictures are spectacular, i'm seriously absolutely so jealous of them. I recently went through her project and I am utterly surprised and amazed (again) of her determination and creativity and she is amazing! keep doing what you do, rachael. (:

WOW is all i have 2 say "WOW is all i have 2 say" about your photos. rachael you are so incredible and amazing and ajkl;gssjdklgj fantastic that i keyboard smash because of my lack of words to describe how awesome you are. let's get down to business (to defeat the huns): you take some of the best photographs that i've ever seen, you draw and paint some of the best art that i've ever seen at school, and you are one of the coolest and friendliest people i've ever met. to put it in metaphorical terms, rachael hyde is to bow ties as bow ties are to cool.

rachael hyde you wonderful, wonderful girl! i have been meaning to write you one of these for a long time but i guess day 365 couldn't really be a better day :) i have followed your stream for around a year now and i love that you experiment with every photograph. tiny tiny things make your photographs stunning. you a… Read more

dear rachael hyde (whose name doesn't rhyme with anything), when i found out you had a flickr, i waited two days trying to figure out how to tell you i loved your photos. should i just randomly say it in history of china? or just comment on one of your photos saying 'hey rachael see you in hoc tomorrow lawl". but then you posted on my wall so it's all good. your photos are gorgeous even when you say you don't try. my first reaction to seeing your photos was something like 'shit she's good i have to be friends with her'. keep on taking photos even after your 365 ends!!! or i'll come to your house and force your camera into your hands. i'm so glad we met because now then you can give me caramel candies everyday :)

dear rachael, i've been waiting for a while to write your special 50th testimonial (; i just want to say that, after following your stream for a while, you are one of the most inspirational and talented young photographers i have ever seen on flickr. you have the motivation and perseverance to keep at your 365, all … Read more

dear rachael, i've been waiting for a while to write your special 50th testimonial (; i just want to say that, after following your stream for a while, you are one of the most inspirational and talented young photographers i have ever seen on flickr. you have the motivation and perseverance to keep at your 365, all of your ideas are beautiful and end up perfectly composed, and you're also such a lovely and beautiful person. (: everytime i get uninspired, literally all i have to do is click on your stream and look at some of your photos. you work with light and life and color and everything just so incredibly well, and you never fail to surprise me every time you upload. your style of photography is so unique and it's just breathtaking. please don't ever stop your amazing photography, i am sure that you will go extremely far.

You have been one of my idols for the longest time ever, so I was completely shocked when you added me as a contact. So, of course I have to write you a testimonial now!

You have been one of my idols for the longest time ever, so I was completely shocked when you added me as a contact. So, of course I have to write you a testimonial now! So, Rachael--Your photography is absolutely stunning. Today while I was looking at your gallery, looking for inspiration, as I always do, I realized that every picture has some kind of simplicity that makes it so beautiful, something that most people can't do, with me as an example. And your amazing light filled golden hour photos are simply breathetaking I think. And also, aside from being an amazimg photographer, you seem like a really nice person. So, why on earth you added me as a contact is still unclear, but I'm very happy that you did, because that means you get to read this testimonial. You. Are. An. Amazing. Photographer. edit: seriously since the time i wrote that last testimonial you've become even more amazing, although I'm unsure how...but anyway you're pretty amazing :D

Rachael, You are the first person who I have decided to write a testimonial for and you, beyond doubt deserve it! You were one of the first people whose photo stream my eyes looked upon and I fell in love with it. The use of light and detail in your photos are perfect so nothing can compete.

Rachael, You are the first person who I have decided to write a testimonial for and you, beyond doubt deserve it! You were one of the first people whose photo stream my eyes looked upon and I fell in love with it. The use of light and detail in your photos are perfect so nothing can compete. Like a professional, you know how to translate emotion into the simplicity of your photos with ease. The dedication that I can see in your 365 project is inspirational for all of flickr, and especially to me. I always look forward to seeing a new edition to it every day. For all of you reading this, Rachael’s photos are inspirational, telling, and just lovely. She will surely inspire all with her remarkable photos as well as her lovable personality. Well, I guess this is as long as it can possibly be and written in the most sophisticated way to show how inspirational you truly are to me :) So, good luck whatever you do, because you will definitely go very far! Carrie

Rachael, Rachael...You are incredible! You have such talent, you find that golden light that I am always trying to find and have not managed to yet. I love your honest photos, your emotional and intruiging way of letting us see part of your day, of your life. You are a true artist to me and I am always looking foward to seeing another of your photos. I wish I had had your talent at that age! I cannot wait to see what will become of you.

rachael is easily the queen on golden hour in my books! her use of colours and tones are always very appropriate for the image and she does it perfectly. i also remember once where she told me she was staying up till 5 am to finish homework, yet she still pursues with the 365 and gives it her all everyday. she is w… Read more

rachael is easily the queen on golden hour in my books! her use of colours and tones are always very appropriate for the image and she does it perfectly. i also remember once where she told me she was staying up till 5 am to finish homework, yet she still pursues with the 365 and gives it her all everyday. she is with no doubt, one of the most inspiring photographers on here and a great friend also - her friendly and honest comments always make me smile and motivate me to go farther and farther. im glad i know rachael as a friend because she is truly a person who is beautiful inside and out.

so, don't ask me why I haven't already written you a testimonial; I have no idea! I LOVE your photos, Rachael. it seems that every photo you create is just beautiful. It's so fun to follow your work, because you're always trying and coming up with something amazing and unique. and even if it's "cliche," you make it wa… Read more
