  "It is a pleasure to view Jay's photostream. Being an information technology professional myself, I find it interesting how many of us love to seek out the beauty in nature, as Jay does. He is also wonderful to have visit one's photostream, as he sees the photo and the meaning embedded in it.

  "When I joined Flickr in September 2009 and posted my first shot in the Nature Conservancy pool, I noticed a name that I saw often..."Koolpix". I wondered who this amazingly talented and prolific person was. No matter what Koolpix posted...flowers, birds, insects, etc., I said to myself, he's really good!! And he doesn't just stick to one theme -- his photography shows great variety. Not only does Jay have an artistic eye, he is very generous to me and other photographers on Flicrk. He takes the time to give awards and congratulates others on their work. Jay continues to be an inspiration to me and a mentor. I've learned so much from his excellent work and I'm pleased to call him a friend."

  "There is no doubt that there is a lot that can be said about Kool's
  photos. He defies the thought that one must have expensive cameras
  and lenses in order to take a great picture. Kool takes great photos because he has a great eye....and great passion. Passion...that all important quality. Anyone who views his photos, is in for a treat.
  And anyone that has the pleasure of getting to know him, is in for
  a whole lot more. He is not only respectful of other photographers,
  he is kind and generous and his willingness to help and nurture is way above and beyond what one could hope for. A great photographer, yes. A great person, absolutely!"

  ""Koolpix" photostream is quite AMAZING, especially when you consider that he uses a point-and-shoot camera!
  He has a knack of seeing things in an unusual, creative way and then capturing it for others to see. Thanks, Kool for giving us inspiration from your photos!"

  "Kool I got to know through the Stunning nature group, in my opinion this is one of the best groups on flickr because of the hard work and dedication Kool put in to that group to keep it a very high standard. Kool amazes me how he produces so many great pics off a point and shoot camera, he does have a great talent in Photography. Best regards Kool from Ray."

  "KoolPix has a great eye. He states he is a "point and shoot" photographer. BUT where he points and what he shoots is aways a quality capture. There is color, variety and delight to be found in the super pictures in his photostream."

  "John, (Koolpix) has an amazing skill with his camera. He expertly takes a very varied range of photographs and puts many of us to shame. He has a love for all things beautiful, human, nature and inanimate. This is evident in his photostream, which is a must see. Definitely worth a visit."

  "If you study Kool's photos, you will find he not only does nature well, but has an artistic eye for the right point of view with his wide angle shots.
  What I enjoy seeing is his interesting variety of photographs.
  The landscapes are a must see, and if you go back in his gallery you will find very nice close ups of butterflies and cool insects.
  Check it out!"

  "Koolpix has some really cool pics. We have some things in common - we love the beach, nature and travel. John approaches photography with an observant eye, a sense of design and a reverence for nature. Once you realize he only uses a point & shoot camera, his art takes on a new meaning that evokes even greater appreciation of his capabilities. He doesn't need impressive gear because he has impressive talent. His work reveals a gentleman worthy of our respect and admiration. Someday, we will probably meet - on the beach."

  "You just need to go through John’s (KoolPix’) photostream to enjoy a taste of nature. This guy knows exactly how to capture the spirit of nature and he can make great pictures with that knowledge.
  John, you have a great photostream! Keep up the good work.
  The camera is not important. You can use the worst point & shoot camera and if you can transmit emotions like Kool is doing in his captures, you will be a great artist!"

  "It is a pleasure to write a word about John's photography.
  He is very good at bringing a 'feeling tone' into his photos giving them a special touch. You can not only appreciate the photo but often get a special sense of it as well.
  
  John has such a wonderful variety of things he enjoys photographing and that gives his photostream a special spot in Flickr. He is also fun to work with as a 'contact' as he is very constructive in his comments.
  
  It is always fun to visit his photostream and see what beautiful new photo he has added!"

  "There is a old very old story about a old beat up fiddle at an estate sale ..strings are missing . the body is beat up and badly in need of repair ....the bid is started at bottom rock bottom ...no one is bidding ...the auctioneer asks if any one can play the fiddle ...up steps a man that is not very neat in appearance he picks up the fiddle .. breaks off a few broken string picks up the bow and plays like the Angels of heaven have the bow ..the bidding begins again and the fiddle is sold for lots of money ....
  
  From pretty girls to kittens ,KoolPix mighty little shoot and point is like that ... for you see its not he camera but it is the soul of the photographer ..if ever I am in need of a lawyer... I hope John and his point and shoot camera are there .... just like the master and the fiddle ....KoolPixs photos are a delight to see"

  "This man looks closely enough at everything to really see the best way to take a photograph...... John really captures the angle, the motion, and the rhythm of nature. The secret to good photography is not in the equipment, it is in the photographer. John's work is beyond taking pictures...... his scrutiny and perception have given us true art. Thanks, KoolPix. I'm looking forward to more......"

  He shows us the landscaping in China which is awesome.
  The butterfly shots, plant shots and animal shots are a pleasure to look at. The beach scenes are so beautiful.
  Keep up the good work Kool."

  "John, aka Kool, is a very able photographer. He knows the eye is always more important than the equipment used. From his stunning landscapes to his thought provoking portrait and candids, John uses his artistic eye to make unforgettable photographs. There are no pictures on Kool's photostream, only photographs. I am proud to call him a new friend, Steve King"

  "John(KoolPix) takes the point and shoot to the ultimate max. He has a keen artistic eye for composition, light, texture and design. His ability to take the ordinary and transform it into the extraordinary be it a leaf or the wing of a butterfly is always an inspiration.To be able to see art in nature is a true gift-kool, you got the gift! Your helpfulness and comments are always an encouragement for me. Thanks John!"

  "What a great Photostream. Your photographic skills are of monsterous scope. You have mastered the "point and shoot" stuff. I had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the digital world and am using a Nikon D200. I love it and wish I could do with it what you can with your equipment. I am so glad I stumbled on your Photostream. Many thanks."
