delsignorem's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleArchivesFavoritesProfile

I am an avid admirer of photography-of art in general really ! I have been for many years ! I began my journey into Flickr not owning a camera of any kind, for the first year . A writer of comments, I was quite happy ! However, I began to wonder what could I learn to do with a camera of my own !
I then acquired a Canon EOS Rebel XSi ! Here i am, 3 years later, a couple of more lenses in my bag....still trying to make each shot better than the last,,,,,,still a writer of comments ! ;)

DeePee64 ~ Resting Awhile; Be Back Soon says:

"Michele is a wonderful photographer and I have no doubt that she is also a tremendously kind and compassionate lady which is clearly borne out by the attention she pays to other's images. Just how she manages to write so many encouraging words when commenting and also when replying to comments on her photo-stream is beyond comprehension. Michele is truly one of a kind and her undoubted photographic talents are there for all to see. She is never afraid to try something new and the way she pushes those sliders about is truly a wonderful talent of which I am so envious.

I am so pleased to have Michele as one of my friends here in Flickrland and to receive her considerate, thoughtful and well-meaning support. I hope that this will continue for a long time to come.

Thank you, Michele for being you."

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY Michele!!!!
This is you birthday testimonial! I treasure our talks and sometimes you would think we are real family because we have the same moods at the same time and often have very similar family situations(husbands on guitars in their man caves?:-)????
I appreciate your comments and your visits to my stream and I love to visit yours! I even notice when you have not stopped by yet! I look forward to reading your words to my images!! I am glad there are NOT more LIKE "just" YOU...can you image the time I would spend on flickr???LOL
We have the same exact cameras and much to the same liking for good photography and especially flowers and nature. Please be well and happy as often as possible...and when you are not, just read my words here and know you are 'loved!' I hope we get the chance in our lifetime to meet in person and spend some quality camera time together.
Happy Birthday, my friend and sister on flickr! Many more to come!
Wanda"

"Mr. or is it Mrs. or Miss Delsignorem IS among the most generous of my commenters where my work is involved. I am a photographer of middling skills, there are a lot of photographers out there that would wipe their screens with the quality of my work as in like rags. But this person makes me feel that I am indeed talented. THANK YOU !

Know that there is only one in Flickr that matches your generosity !

Cheers !"

"Michele is a wonderful contact and an outstanding photographer. Her floral images are truly sublime, never ceasing to entrance me. Excellent control of the DoF, attention to detail and an eye for beauty makes her photographs special. Not to mention the vivid color and compositions that she achieves in her work. Her shots combine great light with interesting points of view to make for truly special images.

On top of that, she's a fantastic contact, always there with constructive, thoughtful and amicable comments. Thank you, Michele, for the inspiration and encouragement! Looking forward to many more wonderful captures."

"Michele is probably 1 step behind an angel I say this because not one person is perfect. But, Michele is probably the closest to one. =] She is probably one of the most nicest and honest person here on flickr. She takes the time out of her day to comment pictures that we post. She has the brightest outlooks on life, in my eyes. Hah, she almost makes me feel wrong for having anger. =] If the world was more like Michele the world would be gold. Michele will be an angel oneday and look over all of us, I am sure.

Your Friend,
Sean"

Everyday I visit her photostream I always find something special about her pictures.She has a way of capturing color and sheen in her macro's that draws me to love her work. Her images are nicely captured. Her flower shots are fantastic, so beautiful. Keep up the great work. Thanks for being a true friend and sharing your lovely work."

"I read the above testimonials first and agree. If Michele stopped visiting me on flickr it would be something for the worse. If she decides to frequent your stream it is a blessing indeed. And her example reminds me to be sure and take time to visit other people, that you will be rewarded for that and find it a joy. I'm hoping she posts a photo soon so I can comment on more than just her legendary gold seal icon. I could go on but that's enough ....
Really she makes you feel good. I hope to meet her in heaven if not sooner."

JIMMY MEYER says:

"Michele has a way with words that makes your photos come alive...You are very lucky indeed if she chooses your photos to review. I have trouble deciding what I like more...My photos or her descriptive ability to describe them...It's a pleasure to have her positive comments and someone who appreciates the effort that goes into the process,
