    "If I had never taken up that newspaper job and worked with Peter, I would not be on Flickr now! I would not even have taken photography seriously! For about two years, I learned almost everything I needed to know about taking photos by watching how he worked, listening to his detailed explanations of every shot, the lighting and composition, and trying to put it into practice.
    He is an expert in the true meaning of the word, someone who is not afraid of criticising when necessary, but will always offer constructive advice.
    To say he is 'one of the best' is an understatement!
    Most of all, he has been a great friend, and I appreciate everything he has passed on to me."
