I've been a photographer since 1971 and made the jump to digital in 2004. My wife Joanne and I travel the local counties in southeast Ohio most weekends. We live in the Hocking Hills and love the area.

I'm open to criticism and comments. Feel free to make suggestions. I can use all the help I can get

    "Roman's photostream is wonderful! It has a sort of familiar nostalgia for me. His passion for the area is incredibly apparent in his gorgeous and beautifully composed photos."

    "I can't believe I haven't written a testimonial for Roman yet!!! Shame on me! Anywho... Roman is not only one of the most talented photographers I've met on Flickr, he's also one of the most kind and generous. His photos speak for themselves, obviously, but what they don't show is his charitable and vivacious attitude towards life. He's always gone above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to helping others and offering gentle-handed advice. I consider myself lucky to know this guy!"

    "Writing a testimonial FOR Roman at this point would be completely redundant: if you have made it as far as his profile, you are already aware he is someone special. Just one minute wandering through his photostream provides more testament than anything I could say; five minutes and you know he is a serious artist; ten minutes and you begin to get the measure of a man of rare vision, talent, and generosity. So this testimonial is for ME to express my admiration for Roman as an photographer of the highest order whose art I have had the pleasure to revel in, and my appreciation of him as a friend whose hand I hope to shake one day."

    "Generosity is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Roman. He has a generous spirit - always willing to share what he has and knows. He has generously reached out to me as a mentor teaching me about photography, friendship and life. His photography is an inspiration as well as an education to me. Through his photos he shares the beauty and soul of nature. I am grateful for his friendship and guidance. ~ Lori"

    "It was only last summer that I was introduced to Roman when he left his very first comment on one of my photos. Since then, knowing him through Flickr has been like getting reacquainted with an old friend. His comments are up front and personal, thoughtful and perceptive. I also enjoy his sly sense of humor.

    As a photographer, Roman is a keen observer, with a wonderful flair for composition, detail, lighting, and atmosphere. His post-production choices are inspired. The images that he produces are thoroughly realized works of photographic art. Through his pictures, we are treated to his vision of the hills in which he is lost. He is Merlin. And Ohio is his Camelot.

    It is a pleasure to know you, my friend.

    Доброе братство – лучшее богатство."

    "Roman in a nutshell has an eye for the something old and turning it into a "new" old. A skillful photographer who will grab the chance when he can to capture a brilliant piece of history and placing his mark on it, and a most wonderful manner. He has this special touch and special way of warming an old debilitated building or a grabbing a part of wildlife, capturing it, owning it, and bringing to us in his own unique way.

    I have had the most blessed pleasure of shooting one day with Roman and his wife and look forward to doing it again. Neither Roman nor his wife are "lost in the hills". They are both at home there and give the hills in their area such a special feeling when you are there with them. A very warm, comfortable and homey feeling.

    Just take a look at his work.......each and every one of them carry a beat, a beat touched and created by Roman and am honored to know him and his wife and be called their friend.."

    "Roman is the kind of guy who makes you feel like you have known him all your life. He is as generous with his words as he is with his considerable photographic talent... and in my book, that is the true measure of a man. It is my privilege to be able to count him as a friend.

    Like me, Roman likes to archive things close to home and heart and through his beautiful images I now feel like I know a bit more about his corner of the world, or at least where he has lost himself in the hills of Ohio."

    " Just can't believe my eyes -No testimonials for Roman!
    The only possible explanation, that he is as modest, as talented, and just deleted all words of admiration out of his profile!
    So, just to be short: Talent, Taste, Style and Sharp eye equiped with superb photographic skills - that are just few words to begin...
    Have a look and you would be glued to this amazing photostream!"
