MMaeb's photostream |
Photography is a hobby I dropped for almost 20 years. I'm thankful for a certain person who reminded me how much I love taking pictures and introduced me to Flickr. I've met some truly lovely people here--many of whom I now consider good friends. So big hugs and kisses to you guys--you know who you are.
And now, a brief word: Please don't add me as a contact if you're a member of porn groups (especially ones with unimaginative titles), as I will block you. Flickr isn't about porn for me, and I don't want to see your business. Similarly, if you have no shots of your own, or have no shots available to the public, I'll find you a bit dubious and reach for the block button.
Something I find beautiful:

"I can't believe I have left it so long to write a testimonial about mmaeb.... !
Firstly, her photos.... hers is a stream that is a testimonial to the wonder of the world. Through Mmaeb's photos I see a world of beauty, wonder, peace and of opportunities to be siezed. Up until recently she has been shooting with a point and shoot, which just goes to prove that it is great photographers that make great pictures, not great cameras.
As a person Mmeab is kind, generous in her support and honest in her opinions and inspires me often, reminding me to enjoy life, do the things I am afraid of, and of what true beauty is. She is someone who I am proud to call a friend, even though we have yet to meet (so she had better get her ass over to England next year as promised !)"5th October, 2008

"There are so many things I love about Michelle's work, but her exuberance is top among them. Her use of color, her utter fearlessness in experimentation and the way she relishes the photographic opportunities of her surroundings all contribute to a photostream so diverse I can always find something that speaks to me. I love watching her toy with a set of shots or a single photo, trying this and that, giving us all a front-row seat to the evolution of her art.
What a privilege it is to be a witness to her artistic journey!"8th May, 2008

"Her artform is fantastic. She creates such stunning and unique images with her self-portraits, and she always has a special meaning to each one.
Not only is she a gifted and talented artist, but she is an encouraging friend and a great listener. I always love getting any comment from her, or even a reply in a thread.
She isn't going to stop being amazing any time soon."7th May, 2008

"Dear Michelle,
what can I say about without sounding like a devoted and frenetic fan lol??? I think nothing because I love every single thing that you do.
You're talented, beautiful, supportive, amazing, nice, cute, enthusiathic, inspiring, emotive, creative...and so on.
The thing that makes Michelle's photos special is that she is always share a part of her soul and that's really difficult to achieve.
And remember, we have a dance to share!!!! :D
Never change. Love. Eva"28th April, 2008

"What can I say MMaeb is exceptional! From the beauty and artistry that she puts into her work, to the way she takes on board comments and thoughts of others, seeking to take her own artistic development in new ways. And then there's MMaeb the person, who is always there to give you a hug, even though you're a few thousand miles away and who's insighful comments and discussion threads are joy to read. She has certainly painted a smile on my face on days when I never thought they would pass muster. A contact to be cherished for sure!"

"i have to agree with Julie below -- i have no idea why i haven't written a testimonial for Michelle before this. Her sense of humor, her evident passion, her support and appreciation of art and photography -- completely phenomenal, i can't get enough. Not to mention her own work: absolutely stunning. Such an amazing variety of self-portraiture and captures of the world around her through her eyes. One of my favorite streams of all time on flickr, and one of my favorite people here too. Cheers"

"I can't believe I haven't written a testimonial for Michelle sooner. I've been a fan of hers since I first came across her in the FSPSG group. What first attracted me to her stream was that she wasn't into photographing just one certain thing, she photographs her world, her soul and her thoughts for us -- those three ingridients together result in a delicious stream that you are sure to find something you adore if you look around. Not to mention she's a fantastic person. I'm very glad to have known her for as little time as I have here on Flickr; she's wonderful."

"I am telling you, this photostream has a LOT to offer you. There are all sorts of photos for all sorts of people and probably the most beautiful landscapes in all of flickr.
Yes. All of flickr.
Plus, if you have the pleasure of getting to know MMaeb, like I have, you will find out that she is a smart and wonderfully fair person. Yes. Wonderful."14th February, 2008

"I haven't known Michelle for long but I've easily come to adore her. She's warm, supportive, insightful and charming, I'm so glad to be her friend. What I find most striking about her work is her fascination with light. From huge, dramatic urban landscape scenes dazzling with thousands of bulbs to her latest study of a singular lamp, one of her obvious talents is making light dance.
I say "one" because after a look into this talented woman's stream you will find she's gifted in many arts: singing and painting to name two. An expressive, graceful, introspective self-portrait artist, she shows many sides of herself within her photographs- all of them beautiful. She's a woman who can't bear to live without tall trees, I'm so glad I don't have to do without her.
PS< I could look at her face forever."14th February, 2008
