  "Is it possible that I have yet to write a testimonial for the ridiculously talented calhoon calanalanan calanan? Mike has a keen eye for photography, and his dedication to the craft is matched only by his generosity in spirit as he helps other photographers take better pictures. Calanan is always learning new tricks, such as creating his own custom pin-hole camera "lens," scanning his own face and taking the definitive picture of the run-away bride. A trendsetter in social networking, Calanan has more friends on Twitter and Facebook than you can shake a stick at. A true talent & a good friend, I can highly recommend calanalanalanan for all your photography needs!"

  "I wouldn't say Mike is a breath of fresh air, because I try not to smell him :) Mike is a riot to have along on any photo walk and he always has a knack for coming out with the best shots of the outing. Mike's creative thought process is evident in the variety and style of shots. You can bank on him finding the unique perspective and high quality output of a pro, and the drive of a true photo enthusiast."

  "Mike has a way of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. I always enjoy his photos and his different photo "projects". In the three seconds that I talked to him, he also seemed darn nice too. Maybe that's why he seems to pop up in so many other's photostreams from time to time. Good stuff."

  "Mike is a pretty brilliant photographer. I have to stop myself from going through his entire stream and faving every single shot. I don't want to look like a freak, y'know?
  
  Someday, I'll be half as good as him and rock the western world.
  
  oh and by the way -- *POKE*"

  "Cally is considered a rare, hidden gem in Flickrville...he possesses a exotic combination of talent, skill and knowledge.
  I am consistently amazed at his work and only wish someday I will be as talented as him."

  "Calhoon's man walking on Carlton ave might be one of my favorite photos on flickr. Calnoon also takes some great stuff from his car, very impressive. Oh and he's friendly and helps me with technical questions and I help him with legal advice (which he seems to have a lot of questions about all the time).
  
  Public urination charges are easy to get out of the first 3 times.. after that...well."

  "When I first encountered Calanan on Dagobah, I kind of thought I Yoda had slipped me a micky and I had hallucinated the entire incident. But since Jakerome has seen him in real life he must be real. Calanan makes me want to be a better photographer."

  "Calanan's sense of humor translates to his photography.....a keen eye for the frailness of everyday life is not easy to translate, but he does it with the greatest of ease.........JKH"

  "A-ha! Now I know why Calanan added me as a contact, so I could write him a testimonial.
  
  I do love a man with brains.
  
  I worship Calanan."

  "He takes great photos (no, really), has cool iconatars, lives in a place named after an endangered herbivore, and owns a D50. That'll do for me."

  "I love Mike.
  And his photos aren't bad either.
  
  In fact if there was an automatic fave button I'd have mine jammed on for every single one.
  His colours are to die for and I've only just discovered his drive by set which has no right to be so damned good.
  His pictures are both personal (see the beautiful Manray) and engaging and you can't help but feel happier for visiting.
  You rock Mike!!!"

  "Mike is the king of the drive-by and ride-by shot, and he sure knows how to get the most of out of some great vintage gear. Always a joy to see what he's come up with next."

  "Every image tells a story. Mike captures moments in time perfectly. Beautiful framing, excellent timing, rich vibrant colours.
  Very talented and an absolute joy to view."

  "What is Photography for us, the regular people, living our simple (or complicated) lives on earth ? It's simple.. it's our way to express ourselves.. to show the world what do we think/feel about anythig in the world... some do it better, some worse, some do it the most expressive way, some just take home snapshots... I've seen one of Calanan's photos on the "Most interestingness on last 7 days" page and completely felt in love with his way to show us what does he see through the viewfinder. It's just shown in a simple, understandable and beutifull way. Thanks you very much for sharing this !"
