  "Do yourself a favour, take the time to get to know John. You won't regret it. John is a man of huge talent, warmth, humour and humanity and I feel previledged to call him a friend.
  
  I'm always amazed by what he does with his camera. I have no idea how he achieves what he does, but take a look at his photostream and prepare to become hooked. Sucumb to an addiction. His creations are always unique, but are also tinged with emotional energy, thoughtful words and humour. John's humour always stands out and I'm sure you will giggle along with all his other admirers. And there are lots!
  
  Get to know this incredible man!"

  "I have been soooo very remiss in not adding my twopenneth worth about my mate John.
  
  There are some people that one meets that one feels as if one has known for a life time. John is one of them.
  
  He is funny, upfront about his battles with bi-polar and cancer, but most of all he takes the most amazing photos that come straight from the heart.
  
  I am ALWAYS in awe of his images and he captures subjects that are very dear to my heart. And ohhhhh the use of light, it takes his photos to another dimension.
  
  And if you think I am waxing lyrical, look at his photo stream and you will understand why.
  
  We all need friends and I am glad John is one of mine!"

  And gie's a hand o' thine,
  And we'll take a right quid-willie waught,
  For auld lang syne!"

  "What can I say about John (or Jiffy) that hasn't already been put better by others? Probably nothing , but here goes anyway. When I see the name Solar Scot, I am eager to access his photostream and see what his latest creation is! Jiffy is an extremely talented, creative photographer. His comments are friendly and funny and his words are prosaic and beautiful and always fit the shot. With his golden photos, or his Mr Tattyhead series and Scottish-themed food photos, he inspires me to be more creative with indoor shots and improve in an area of photography in which which I am generally rubbish. Finally, I feel privileged to have him as a Flickr buddy!"

  "It is a privilege to see Solarscot's work. Through his golden imagery along with poetry and song you can see and feel what he is trying to portray. Everyday I eagerly look on flickr to see if he has produced more imagery that can simply touch me in a way that no other photographer can. If you look at his stream you will be inspired, and wish that you can see like he can.

  "John is a wonderful man with many talents. His art works are so special and unique. Each one tells a story or leaves you in wonder.
  A good friend and an honest person. Someone you can count on to help you through and be a good listener when you need an ear. A nice person to build your confidence and comment openly and very kind on all of your creations no matter how different from the rest.
  Just an all round wonderful guy to know.
  Thanks John ... for just being you.

  "John "Jiffy" has adopted the heart as his icon and with good reason: this man lives within his own heart and its a vast, beautiful wonderland of art, music and poetry. His photos invoke a myriad of emotions from the innocence of happiness to the tragedy of lost love. His humour is infectious and never fails to make me giggle. Flickr is a lovelier, magical place due to his photos, words, and vision."

  "I've only known John a short while here on Flickr, but during that time he has impressed me greatly with his beautiful and compelling work. He is a man of great talent, and it's evident to me that he has a wonderful and sensitive heart. When I first joined up with the Clan Flickr group he was very kind to me, and is always ready with a pertinent and pithy comment on my pics. I'm proud that he considers me a friend here, and I gladly do the same :-)
  
  (this was my first testimonial, how did I do? *g*)"

  "it's all been said by a few of john's many, many friends, in the praises you see below. which makes it so very important to try to say something *more*. if i may paraphrase van morrison:
  
  ~ i can feel his heart beat, from a thousand miles,
  and the heavens open, every time he smiles ... ~
  
  in his nature shots, and close-ups, a most refined photographic sensibility. in his self-portraits, candid, unabashed glimpses of honest humanity, heartache and joy. a man of essential passion, he wears his heart on his sleeve with sheer courage and pride; this is his vulnerability, his strength.
  
  he is adored.
  
  i look forward to further making his acquaintance, dearest of men, purest of hearts, deepest of souls. love. xo"

  "JIffy, this is long overdue. You are a true friend, a gentleman (most of the time...!) and a wonderful photographer. You have a unique style and your photos always make me stare in wonder... all accompanied by a beautiful song you've chosen. I think you are probably one of the nicest and most selfless people I have met on Flickr. Thank you for being a wonderful friend and inspiration. Much love, Claire xxxx"

  "I have come to know Jiffy as creative, multi-faceted, honest and open. His photos are a pure delight – an inspiring journey through his heart and soul. He doesn’t fail to tap into emotions – high or low, with the viewer or within himself. A kind and caring soul – Jiffy encourages, makes me laugh, offers insights and witty remarks. Whether he visits you or you visit him – you will not be disappointed. Thank you Jiffy John you are a true friend indeed."

  "I've had the pleasure of knowing Jiffy for only a couple of months now. He never ceases to amaze me with his creativity and emotions that show through in his amazing photostream. His images are purely wonderful and I can only hope to be half the photographer he is.
  
  He is a friendly guy with a warm heart who always encourages his friends and is always there with a comment or two. He's made my Flickr experience an even better one - I only wish I had found him sooner."

  "I've known John for a few months now I love his pictures he produces they are original humorous, and very thought provoking in many ways, but simple to do, but he has the creativity and imagination to pull it through with excellent results, his poetry is amasing I'd love to be able to have the talent to be able to put words to pictures like he dose with great ease. John is a very gifted and talented, person, he has a great sense of humor which reflexes on some of his work! I'm so glad to have John as a true friend he inspires me in many ways and I would love to thank him for that, and for beeing a great freind to me. xxx"

  "John was one of the first people to comment on my pics, and has been doing so ever since. He is one of the best photographers around, and captures scenes and moods perfectly. He also has an amazing sense of humour. Bringing lots of lightheartedness and fun to my life. The depth of feeling he has is clearly shown in his pictures and words. When I feel down, I come onto Johns photostream and catch up with the antics of Geldof and Freinds, and always leave feeling much better. Thanks for being a freind John and thanks for sharing your life with me.
  Lots of Love and Laughs. Isabel.xxxxxxx"

  "John's photo's are varied in content and if you take the time to look through his photo stream among other things you will find some wonderful shots of Scotlands misty woods, pretty sunrises and sunsets, rivers and frosty trees.
  
  His true love of beauty is wonderfully reflected in his images and I'm really loving some of his recent work & looking forward to what he has in store for us to view in the future.
  
  John, thank you for always taking the time to visit my photo stream leaving a kind and encouraging comment and though I am still knew at taking my photo shots seriously and still have so much to learn you always leave me feeling up-built and ready to shoot again. I am so very grateful for each and everyone of your visits and I am truly fortunate to have you as a flickr friend. Thank you."
