I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching - there would be a vast improvement in total output.

I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching - there would be a vast improvement in total output.

His positive outlook on life and loving, caring attitude towards others, is evident in his optimistic comments and encouraging words. Flickr is a better place with him here. Thank you my friend.

Ziko's creations of every day things are very much above and beyond ordinary. They take what we might ignore daily as we pass by and make them compeling and desirable.

Ziko's creations of every day things are very much above and beyond ordinary. They take what we might ignore daily as we pass by and make them compeling and desirable. It encourages the viewer to look closer to what they would other wise have passed by in their daily lives and to try and see them through new eyes. Generating interest in our own lives by viewing his life through his eyes is a great gift. A gift that he shares with us.

Salaam Ziko! He is to me what efatima, fubuki, Special, and other Flicker Gods convey: Photography might not save humanity, but atleast we can capture the fleeting moments of beauty. His photos are dramatic, profilic, and always a spectacle. This is why I log onto Flickr and post photos, so I hope he can see them and I… Read more

Salaam Ziko! He is to me what efatima, fubuki, Special, and other Flicker Gods convey: Photography might not save humanity, but atleast we can capture the fleeting moments of beauty. His photos are dramatic, profilic, and always a spectacle. This is why I log onto Flickr and post photos, so I hope he can see them and I know his next photo might teach me something . . .

Z's work is inspiring... I love how he sees the "simple" things in life and gives them so much "depth" in his photos. It really makes you think... makes you feel. Many of Ziko's photos are of everyday-type things and yet they make you think and awaken emotions -- romance, desire, love, comfort, peace, intrigue... … Read more
