  "Words fail to express how brilliant this guy is. I guess the only way to realize it yourself is to take a look at his photostream...it is one of the best I've ever seen! Bizarre, unconventional, unique and filled with imagination from the first picture to the very last. When I was just a Flickr virgin a few years ago I remember having seen his photostream back then...and now, three four years later I came to the conclusion that his work is something you simply won't forget.
  Perhaps one of my favorite photographers here!"

  "What's amazing about Rod...well first off, he took time to respond to my email saying how amazing the Red Smile was. :P He's really humble, just a very nice guy. It's too bad I live in the States, and am a college student or I'd be trying to find a way to become his aprprentice, maybe if he's reading this he'll give me some challenges or something. ;). It's just always interesting to see how he makes fun of the absurdities of life while at the same time giving a sense of almost being ashamed of what we are capable of (my interpretation of it, please save the hate mail for when I actually say something wrong.) He's definately inspired me ot take pictures (again...let's not start an arguement) of people I meet just in their everyday life. He also helped me to understand how you can do pictures that trap your attention and stick with you for a long time. I really am glad that I saw his work, it definately has helped me see why photogrpahy is now considered and art."

  "his mind is a powerful volcano full of creativity
  his images are outstanding: they have an unreal atmosphere, but so true in details that you think you're dreaming, you're lost in a strange world full of incredible people who make incredible actions.
  And the strong colortones give a rich touch.
  Love this artist!
  take care"

  "r's documentary photography shines through the cracks of the heart, opens up wounds of the world to the bandages of your eyes.
  
  his studio photography will make you question your concepts of beauty, style, emotion, and expression as a whole.
  
  oh, he's a daredevil, too. he's daring you to find out who you are.
  
  aren't those qualities of the great teachers?"

  "You will see that while all the good names may be taken, all the pictures have not.... Rod is original, versatile, and cool... (already that puts him ahead of 99% of us) I hope he keeps upping the ante like he does with every post. He is one of the few photogs I make sure to check out every now and then, regardless of comments, weather, mood, etc... Weclome to one of flickr's best."

  "Having something to say is central to the creation of fine art. Rod’s brutally magnificent images deliver thought provoking messages with eloquence, wicked sophistication, and genuine intelligence. His knockout imagery and insightful sensitivity will leave you gasping for breath, and looking forward to the next round."

  trying2 says:

  ""Tous le noms..." makes me wince with his photos - they are like a screeching sound of the nails on the chalkboard. He shoves the close-ups of the street misery under our noses...I am deeply moved by the feeling and dignity with which his subjects are portrayed.
  If he choses to use colour in his shots, it is never random, always adding an extra dimension to the composition.
  In his other sets he balances between the surreal and the tenderness. The camera seems to be an extention of his soul."

I kinda hate myself to have to keep coming back to comment on each one with my poor vocabulary to describe my respect to him and his works, so I just decided to give this testimonal:)

  WAYNE HIEBERT kingston photographer says:

  "In his profile Rod described himself as "Nothing special - just an ordinary guy"
  
  Anyone looking as his photographs, particularly his black and white pictures of street people, will soon realize he is a very special person and an extraordinary photographer.
  
  These photographs not only demonstrate a serious talent. The fact his subjects feel so comfortable in his presence says a lot about his ability to empathize with their lives and respect their feelings.
  
  For someone who has been shooting for such a short time Rod's photographs exhibit remarkable strength, maturity and integrity.
  
  His work stands alongside the best photographers of his and earlier generations.
  
  Bravo"

  "His work is personal and gritty and dark and light. it's moving and full and runs the gamut of the human experience. rich deep blacks and pale whites and a bevy of color in between cover a complex terrain of both human emotion and visual complexity. Wonderful work."
