  ".bullish has caught my eye right from the start, when he was still using a phonecam to make the most beautiful photos on flickr. he made me look in a different way to the world around me. his tools may have changed but the quality has not!
  
  thank you, Mike!"

  "I guess, for most of us, whenever we capture a moment through our photographs, we always wanted to convey that feeling or emotion that lives within us... Mike's (.bullish) emotions are so deep and that comes out of his creations! He is so true to what he feels...
  
  (When I realized that this could be a testimonial, I decided to cut and paste it from my comment)"

  "what mike is doing is art, and like most art, to be honest, are either we get it, or we dont.
  
  i would like to think i get his art. i have my own interpretation of it, probably different from his real intention, but i get it. and that's what makes me return to his stream every time i'm on flickr, because "everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination...""

  "A benevolent, insightful, brotherly guy whom I always feel at home with, Mike gives warmth and inspiration through his words and his works.
  
  Whenever I feel lost and bored to tears with my work there's always Mike, his friendship, his colourful magnificent streams to turn to. His sense of humour uplifts, his photographic skills enlightening, and his elan and talents with the medium are all extraordinaire yet humble.
  
  I bow to this guy. And I mean, I bow to him. He is among the best of the best here at Flickr and he doesn't have any air about him that flaunts it. Keep up the good work, idol master sensei lordship Sir Mike. You inspire many a people more than you'll ever know.
  
  Mabuhay ka!!!

  "".bullish" - the name says it all! His photos makes you think twice whether or not your photos are well-captured or not....something like "why did I not think of that?" or "how can I do that?" --for he has that "Nth sense" when taking one. Only he has that..."

  "Mike is one of the first flickr member I've noticed here. Not only he possessed a good eye, he put meaningful captions on his photos as well, inspiring and humorous alike. Called the DOF master, I am in awe of his creativity and talent. Keep clicking that camera Mike, whatever make and type it is!"

  "Unassuming guy with cult celebrity status (who knew that he was the one near me in the smoking area?). Never runs out of ideas and irony (since his blogging days). One word, CREATIVE.
  
  The idea of making this testimonial just came spontaneously (particularly these irritating parenthesized side comments).
  
  Cheers, Mike!"

  "I just admire this guy...really! used to call him DOF Master Mike. His photostream will attest to that and certainly he's got more than that! He has a very perceptive eye on almost anything and everything... and he will amaze you on every composition he makes... very original and pure... extensive treatment is not his style... still very impressive shots. Thank you for sharing those inspiring images and beautiful quotes... hats off to you Mike :0)"

  "Poem
  Like musical instruments
  abandoned in a field
  the parts of your feelings
  Are starting to know a quiet
  the pure conversion of your
  life art seems destined
  Never to occur
  you don't mind
  you feel spiritual and alert
  As the air must feel
  turning into sky aloft and blue
  you feel like
  You'll never feel like touching anything or anyone
  again
  and then you do

  .....When you know someone is passionate about what they love they will always show you... Mr B as I fondly call him, is an extraordinary example of this through his photography he opens up a beauty in his art, through vision and insights into his world through which you are invited to travel. He is highly creative and his literary talent is mindblowing. His humour always sparkles through via his poetry or his wit found in quotes -- and his dipy thingys are to die for! ;0))) You are a very wise, very kind soul Mr B and a total inspiration. I love your photo stream and you constantly amaze me. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you for sharing such an awesome piece of you! And thank you for being such a warm and great friend *kisses*"

  "Mike has amazing pictures in his stream. The volume of great work that he creates with his phone camera makes me want to put down my DSLR and rethink what I am doing. His matching sense of humor that ties an appropriate quotation to each of his images lends a special flavor to his stream. Wonderful, creative, funny stuff that I am happy to have the privilege to view."

  "Oh Gosh, where do I start?.... I have met soooo many great friends through flickr and although I have never met Mike face to face, I feel that I know him soooo well. He has a special warmth about him that really shines through when I view his images, as you will also see when you look through his stream of photos, they are truly amazing!
  His work is so full of inspiration and I know that no matter how I feel before entering his little world... I will always leave it feeling rested and enlightened...
  
  Thank you Mike for sharing your wonderful world with us!"

  "Viewing his photostream makes me reflect on my view of photography. It's not the gear nor the scenery that makes an image outstanding. It's how one capture its essence and proudly presents it with no hesitation or compromise. And that makes me respect the photographer not just the photo.
  
  Kudos Mike!"

  He has a really good eye for forms and perfect compositions. You will also find many images which make you think and especially the words going with some of these images are often the starting point for serious pondering."
