  "Before I was only a fan of flckr, who could never let the day pass without looking at the photostreams of each members until finally I saw the art works of the- father. He not only showed how the camera snapped but also he tried to reveal what he saw in his heart. With his effort, creativity n willingness to explore the potentialities of his work, he can create captivating images of his interpretation, recognizes the subtleties of colors, texture and lightning and exploits them to the full, puts the object of photography on a level of comfort both of himself and with the ambience,shoots the subject in an interesting angle. I love all his photos. He makes my day complete. His comments encourage me to continue. I was about to give up, but because of his work, I was inspired to try my best and work hard to be like him. I know it will take years for me, but , I will not stop cuz my idol ( the-father )is always there to guide me with his comments. Thank you for sharing your photo to all of us. All his photos are lively, surreal and interesting. More power! stay healthy!"

  ""the-father" means: kindness, artistic, energetic, passionate, enthusiastic, inspirational, motivative and unique.
  
  I know how amazing is the nature,
  
  I know how wonderful is the colour,
  
  I know how passionate is the attitude,
  
  I know these because of "the-father".
  
  His photos are highly inspirational to me, especially for the captures of nature, all the ideas are so direct and simple, and he is so talented to express in an artistic way, every capture is looks like a painting.
  
  "the-father", thank you for your continuous support and encouragement to me, you are really the father on FLICKR@"

  "For the past two years, no one has been more supportive to me as "the-father". Sometimes, my work keeps me too busy to visit the photos of my friends including his, but he never fails to visit, comment on and appreciate my photographs. Visiting his photostream is a pleasure, not only for learning from his techniques, but also to see the wonderful scenes of Germany, through his lens."

  phantom blot says:

  "the-father has always been so present and kind, and such an example as a photographer, that I decided to write a testimonial in gratitude. But when I saw the list of testimonials already written, I understood that it is itself the best testimonial possible. Of all I have seen, it's by far the longest and more affectionate of all in Flickr. And he more than deserves it!"

  "As the long list of testimonials on this page suggests, TF has earned a special place in the hearts of hundreds of Flickr members. His patience, loyalty and indefatigable encouragement have made him a Flickr legend.
  
  He's also a terrific photographer. His best work is like a collection of shining jewels, full of cleverly manipulated colours that leap off the screen.
  
  If you catch his eye, you're in luck !"

  Rafal Bergman says:

  "The-Father is an excellent photographer with sharp eye for details and excellent sense of colour and compositions. But he is much more than that. He is also a great person and friend and great animator of Flickr society. If not that he is supporting my mediocre work with his generous comments I would also say that he has a very good taste for photography ;). As for the mystery of his name I think that because his profile has given us some hint it is quite safe to guess that it is Darth :). Am I right Father?"

  "The-father, what can I say!!!. If you are new to his work then I urge you to take your time and take pleasure from his work as I and so many others have done so before. His skill and talent with the camera alongside his creativeness are portrayed through his splendid collection of photographs. I can not forget to mention The-Father's loyalty to flickr, he is a gentleman when it comes to the feedback he leaves, providing usefull and valued comments time after time. I value his critique and I value his photography."

  "Won't just say his work is very different, because this is out of question.
  
  What is really special about him is that he continuously follows-up on his contacts’ new posts to the site, which requires a lot of time and dedication, and it also shows how much he cares.
  
  In addition to all this, he comments constructively on pictures and does not try to hurt people's feelings.
  
  the-father . . . stay the way you are and keep up the good work."
