  "(This is late. I'm sorry!)
  
  Marion, marion..
  You truly show yourself in your photographs. You let out all of your emotions into every single picture you capture. If someone only looked at your pictures, they could tell exactly the kind of person you are... kinda like this photostream is the diary of your life. You are absolutely beautiful inside and out. There is so much variety in your stream and I think that's one of the main reasons I love it so much. Don't stop taking photos because you are talented!"

  "I always look forward to My Contacts as I know that I will see something wonderful from Marion. It is so cool to be able to see what she comes up with. I only wish I had her vision for images. It will be a great adventure to see her continue to grow as a beautifl young lady and as a photographer. She has a great view on life and I am sure there are many great things in her future."

  "Mare,
  
  This testimonial is long overdue. For that I am truly sorry.
  
  Also, instead of writing about you, I would like to write this testimonial to you. These are things I want you to know, because you deserve that much.
  
  First off, I would like to say that you are absolutely one of the most inspiring people here on flickr. Your use of light and poses and expressions and locations absolutely make me want to cry, because they are so beautiful. I cannot begin to describe the way each and every one of your photos touches me, but I want you to know that they do, in so many, innumerable ways. The emotion you put into every single shot just absolutely blows me away, and I can feel everything you are feeling. It's impossible to put into logical words, really, but it's true.
  
  What most strikes me about you, Mare, is that, without saying a word, you can speak volumes about life, love, joy, and pain in ways that people would kill to be able to do. You are so incredibly lovely, inside and out, and people can see that in your pictures. They feel it.
  
  Please, please, please don't you ever doubt your beauty or your talent, because there is nothing about you that says you are not good enough, or not pretty enough, or not smart enough. You will do amazing things, Mare, I know it. So believe it, and make it happen.
  
  You are truly one of my favorite photographers, Mare, and I don't say that flippantly; I mean every word. I'm sure countless other people on here could say the same. So many people love you and your work, so I pray you will remember that always.
  
  You do deserve that. More than anything.
  
  ~Whitney"

  "Okay, so basically, Mare is like, amazingggg :)
  She's so so nice, and her pictures are incredible. I remember when I found her stream, I think I actually said "wow" outloud. And if I didn't, I was definitely thinking it.
  She's so talented and so sweet, you can expect alot from her.
  Definitely one of my favourite Flickerettes :)
  
  UPDATE!
  Since writing that last pretty lame testamonial I've come to know Marion as a person and photographer so much better. I love her dearly and I don't usually like making friends online but I'm so glad that I found her because she's so similar to me and we really can talk. But that's personal anyway and this is supposed to be a tribute to her photography..
  She's so creative and I love seeing her work because her perseverance and constant creativity amazes me. I love photography, but I don't think that I could ever find that much immense talent to be able to come up with good ideas so frequently. I love love love this girl to death! :)"

  "Mare - your work is so great, every black and white picture is flawless. I love the way you explore lighting in a photograph, every one is so unique. Many people find self portraits difficult, including myself, but you make them look so easy! Keep up the good work, I always look foward to your stream (:"

  "Looking through your photostream, it's really easy for a person to see how you've grown as a photographer. It only gets better. You're latest photographs have got to be my favorite, out of flickr entirely. At such a young age, you're already better than people who have been taking pictures for decades. I can't wait to see what you post next."

  "i no longer call mare, mare. i call her ginger rogers. because she is my ginger. this summer i've really gotten to know mare. quite a while back i discovered a very prolific stream (and to me prolific can often mean sloppy and nonperfection, luckily that is not the case for her!) and truly fell in love with her self portrait work and all the rest. after several chats, we found true friendship in one another. i know that even though she is so far away i can count on anything from her. especially a good laugh. i cannot count a single conversation we've had without actually dying of laughter. (meanwhile, part of me wishes this testimonial could be video form because i could demonstrate how i make fun of all of mare's photos :) -- she knows she loves it when i do that :) anyway, what i'm ultimately trying to get at, is that she is a crazy child loon that i love dearly and that i really need to thank her for being one of the greatest inspirations to my photography right now and she always will (and heck, she inspires the rest of my life too). and at the end of the day, there's only one person that i can count on to eat a full 22 oz steak in front of me at midnight."

  "It's like we can see your soul through your photos
  
  You know when you wake up in the morning, and the light floods your face, and your sheets and bedroom are exposed in such a culmination of beauty, and you realize that the world is a place of hope and brightness, but all at the same time a place of realism and love. It's that feeling you get, that truly real feeling of existence
  
  That's how your photos make me feel mare"

  "when i see mare's stream, i'm usually at a loss for words. the ideas and thoughts she expresses through her photography are mature far beyond her years. she is one of the best on flickr, and among the streams that i'm sure to visit every day. her talent is so inspiring and i really hope to improve and be as good as she is someday :) i know she is going to go somewhere with photography and can't wait to see what she does next."

  "For one missy you are quite beautiful if I do say so myself. I wish I had your perfect jawline and facial structure. *so envious* [nohomo haha]. Two your portraits are always phenomenal. They are always so unique and so simple while being complex at the same time. Like one of my favorite photos, "I believe in magic" gosh! it's so incredible. I can't wait to see more of your "Familiar Things" series, and so much more. I love your stream. Take care. xoxo."

  "I love this woman’s art. Marion is a clear standout among a new generation of creative and passionate young Flickr photographers. Her images are intensely personal but not narcissistic. The vulnerability that grounds all good art seems second nature to her, in front of the camera and behind. But her images are more than just emotion and angst, they also share an important aesthetic quality – beauty. She records light and life as she finds it, albeit beautifully."

  "You are just wonderful, I love looking at a new upload beacuase you are one of the people on here that I know I will never be disapointed with. Every shot I adore and love what you come up with.
  You are one of the people I call the 'queen of light', this is because you can manage it so well and just use it so perfectly, I can't wait to see you go far. Oh, and on top of that you are so beautiful and sincere, I really admire your talent and you yourself.
  Thanks so much for inspiring me, Mare, Flavinsky x"

  "Inspiring is not strong enough a word to say what Mare is doing with her work here... She is truly an amazing young woman! Every time I see that she has posted I simply cannot wait to look at the next awe-mazing work of art she has produced.
  
  What she has done with her photography is beyond words. She has taken it to a higher plain, one most of us had not even considered. She is making masterpieces. She is a one of a kind. She is truly the heart and soul of flickr."
