    "If I could spend a day with any Flickr photographer, it would be Hiroyuki. He mixes technical competence and art in an amazing way. He is, hands down, the most talented aviation photographer I have ever seen. If you have not seen his work, be prepared to be amazed."

    "One of my absolute favourite photographers here on Flickr, hiroyuki-senpai is bursting with serious talent. I am always so impressed with his work, specifically his outright vibrant country and city shots. Not only is his work sheer eye candy, but they also reflect a shining intelligence and knowledge of light, its effects and its subtle habitat.

    I may be a newbie in the world of photography but I can certainly appreciate outstanding compositions and creative blue skies. It also shares something special in my heart ((being in Japan)) so his portraits of its beautiful land brings me back to furusato. As someone who is always looking to learn (I've never really taken classes) I seriously look up to hiroyuki and his gorgeous, inspiring work.. I officially declare him my senpai! hiroyuki-senpai wa ichiban ne~!! I will continue to work hard as long as I can see your beautiful photos everyday!"

    "Hiroyuki's work is amazing. He shows a complete knowledge of light in his scenery shots. The amazing blue skies and night shots are just a jewel within Flickr. I consider him one of the best film photographers in Flickr.

    But now he has a digital (D200) with which he makes great photos too. Keep the nice work! And really thanks for teaching me what's good photography!
