"Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera."

"To take photographs means to recognize -- simultaneously and within a fraction of a second -- both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis."

Loren Kahle says:
"I love seeing the latest photos by flipkeat. Phyllis does the most amazing job capturing her environment and all those beautiful bits of nature that most people never see. She must have incredible patience because the moments she captures are perfect. She goes on her morning walks with her point and shoot camera and returns with amazing photographs worthy of EXPLORE and framing. I'm glad you are my flickr friend Phyllis. Thanks for sharing your world with the rest of us everyday. You're amazing!"

She is one of the best nature's photographers on Flickr that I have met .Phyllis is very talented.
Her work is interesting through and through.
Phyllis finds interesting flowers, birds, animals, places on her walks and holidays and takes us with her for dreamy moments .
She finds a marvelous diversity of the nature life and shares with us with a huge passion ; what a delight to discover all that and how much care and love involved in it !
Phyllis, I am proud and thankful to be your friend. How lucky I am.
You are a special person with so often a big sense of humor . You are a big observer and you are so well working on the details and compositions .

"Phyllis is a great photographer. Her flowershots are always a pleasure to watch. I always enjoy watching her holiday photo , like the Niagara Falls serie. You can see she's a great nature lover by her wonderful swan photos ; that's a speciality. Her photos are a real inspiration for me. The comments she makes on my shots are always very personal , with a touch of humor in it. Phyllis is a great Flickr friend and people like her make Flickr such a fun place to be. Check out her amazing stream !"

"I am sure whatever i write about this amazing photographer, it would not be anything new.
She amazes me with her photographs, every new entry of hers is better than the previous one. Her angles, compositions and framing has improved drastically. wether its a bird, a flower, a street shot or the niagra falls, her pictures depict the true beauty of the subject. I have never seen anyone improved at this high speed.
I wish her all the success and happiness in life.
happy clicking."4th September, 2008

David Cartier says:
"This may hold true for all the visual arts, but .... Especially with nature photography I believe it is the emotion and sensitivity , the sense of love and awe, behind the camera's viewfinder which determines the degree to which the viewer is engaged by the photo .... Flipkeat's photos are infused with exactly this quality, making her imagery a pure joy to behold .... With such "seeing" ability, the type of equipment
used is just irrelevant."19th July, 2008

"For someone who's been into flickn' just last February, Phyllis certainly is one amazing representative of the art of photography. Her works clearly show more than just the good eye, the right technique, the proper exposure to the abundant subjects around her, but most of all that dedication and delicate touch in capturing the moment into pixels at their best...a sure manifestation of her true love for the art and for beauty. Following up on Tim's testimonial that you don't need those fancy DSLRs to come up with such fantastic array of photos, I'd say I myself have been in and around some photostreams here at Flickr and to that effect, I've seen a whole lot of shots taken with some of the most expensive gears in the market that don't even come close to the quality of her works. A testimony to the true meaning of artistry which is: not with the tools nor the canvas are masterpieces created, but by the master himself."

"Phyllis just started flickring in February, 2008. She already has quite a following, and for good reason. Her talented eye is particularly good at capturing birds, animals, flowers, and landscapes.
Flipkeat has great timing for her animal photos, and a wonderful sense of composition throughout.
She apparently spends half her time outdoors taking photos, and the other half making fine, encouraging comments to other flickr photographers. She proves beyond a doubt that you don't have to have a fancy DSLR to produce outstanding results."10th June, 2008
