Favourite quotes:
George Eastman, founder of the Eastman Kodak Company: "Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography."
Hans Hofmann, Artist: “The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.”

"If you want to be thrilled with seeing excellence in photography, take a good long look at West County Camera's photostream. You will be nothing short of amazed at every thing he photographs! I especially love his flower photography which is pure perfection. There aren't enough adjectives to describe what I feel on seeing such beautifully photographed images. As another member said, viewing your work is a feast of the senses!
I look forward to seeing any and everything photographed by this master of photography! You will too!
Huge thanks to you, Fred, for sharing! You are an inspiration."25th April, 2010

"Fred is one of the beautiful personalities on flickr, always ready to help, advise and teach others - he has taught me what I now know.
No recollection of how we met (it was a pleasant collison) and I cherish the friendship that has evolved.
I have the utmost respect for this professional, learned and caring person. He is also a wonderful family man, now passing on his knowledge to a grandchild. Other relations wait for his lastest posts. His unique flower photography is praised far and wide. I feel so fortunate that he always has time for me....Cheers Claire..."23rd September, 2009

"Dearest Fred is one of the most creative photographer on Flickr. I have had the pleasure of knowing Fred almost from the being of my Flickring. His flowers are the very best and the composition and light that he brings to his photo's is outstanding. It is such a pleasure to see him on my contact list.
His most endearing quality though is his love of people. He has helped me many times and always with a generous spirit. I not only count his as a contact, I count him as a friend."27th January, 2009

"If you have not visited Fred's photos, you are in for a treat, as well as an education. His compositions reflect his vast knowledge of the camera and light, making his images breath taking. Fred is one of my best Flickr supports in that he not only provides needed feedback, he will share his techniques on how he perfects a shot. He inspires me to try new things while maintaining an awareness of the light and its effect on the subject. Thank you Fred for your generous support. . .Barbara"

"Rarely have I come across such quality in photography and I have been around for a while. Fred belongs to that elite group who see the light and the way it embraces their subjects. Viewing Fred's flickr river had me in awe for a long time! At my age, sometimes when the path ahead seems almost too difficult to achieve, it is work like Fred's that make me determined again to try and achieve that dream that has been mine for ever so many years! I can only say a simple thank you for sharing, but the words mean a lot more than that!

Imagine a sunset, and you see his work...envision a flower in it rarest beauty, and he has captured it..see nature at its best, and his footprints have preceeded yours...follow his steps, and they will lead you to an intriguing subject. His artistry is truely listed among the greats, like Ansel Adams! I am inspired, and sometimes awestruck by every piece, and this artist is among my favorite flickr photographers. View his photostream, and you will stay...CAPTIVATED!"

"Well, Fred is just amazing. His work is so fantastic I really can't put it into words. So I'll use someone else's. to paraphrase, "As long as you shoot what you love, your work will be good......."
Thanks for proving that, Fred."31st May, 2008

"Fred has a talent that just amazes me. Each time I log into Flickr I look anxiously to see what beautiful works of Art he has created! He creates not just a photograph but a piece of Art. Each one is unique in it's own way and each is truly amazing! His years of work in a dark room has carried him over into the world of digital with what appears to be such ease. Fred, I am a great admirer and supporter of your work and I encourage anyone who is visiting his site for the first time to sit back, relax and enjoy the feast of the senses that he brings to us. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us Fred!
