  "I help run Reflex Camera Club and we were lucky enough to have Simon present an evening of his photography. Simon got the evening off to a great start by explaining just what he hopes to achieve when he takes a photograph but instead of trying to make it sound all arty and full of technobabble he did it in an easy to follow and uncomplicated way. The words were punctuated by some wonderful images which when they appeared on the screen made you stop, look and then think “hang on a minute. I’ve seen that a million times! Why didn’t I take that photograph?”. His images are full of the little details, symmetry and colours that hundreds of people will walk past every single day and not even notice. It really does make you wonder how you could be so blind, How you’ve never really looked at your surroundings.
  
  I’ve actually had emails from a few club members saying how much they enjoyed the evening. That’s never happened before, so I can honestly say if you get the opportunity to see a presentation by him go. You won't regret it."

  "Simon is a recent contact, I do not know him personally, and unfortunately I'm sorry for not having discovered his photos sooner. Technically he dominates apertures and can transmit in his photos the technique and history of the photo... he doesn´t simply dump photos in his photostream! A photowalk with Simon will be something overwhelming!"

  "Simon has given me, through his own ability, knowledge and friendship the confidence for me to break out of my own photographic shell in 2010.
  His genuine enthusiasm, thirst for knowledge and patience when explaining the basics to me has been truly inspirational and allowed my photography to grow - for that i will be eternally thankful.(If if was not for Simon i would still be using IS when using a tripod and getting all bent out of shape when my photos are not sharp!)
  
  I really cherish the days when we go out shooting together as they are not only a fantastic learning experiance for me but fun.Simon is a modest man and often underplays his ability with the camera, but his photographs, and especially his Macro shots have been inspirational to me.
  I class Simon as not only a great photographer, but perhaps even more importantly a great friend.
