"In the real world,
As in Dreams,
Nothing is quite
What it seems."
"To see what we have never seen,
To be what we have never been,
To shed the crysalis and fly,
Depart the earth, kiss the sky,
To be reborn, be someone new,
Is this a dream, or is it true?"
'I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, myth is more potent than history, dreams are more powerful than facts, hope always triumphs over experience, laughter is the cure for grief, and love is stronger than death.''
-Robert Fulghum
"The meeting of two personalities is the like the contact of two chemical substances. If there is any reaction both are transformed." - C.G.Jung.
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” - Aaron Siskind

"Lisa, Lisa, Lisa.... What can I say... oh there are somethings that are best kept between us. Lisa is the most wonderful person, she's kind, generous, extremely talented and so much fun. She has definitely found her 'calling' in photography. I feel every one of her photos, it's not just an image, its a full range of emotions experienced. The Kenya photos are worth the peruse, it will make you feel as though you were there with her, it is a stunning, breath taking and vibrant collection.
To be completely honest, her beauty is genuine like no other I have seen, which in turn radiates through her photography. So much to love.
I can't wait to see her photos on National Geographic! XOX!! :)"7th February, 2011

"Well... needless to say that Lisa is a creative and very talented photographer.
Moreover she is funny, obviously romantic, kind, caring, inquisitive and ...
All in all exactly that 'dangerous' kind of woman that my mother had warned me about. :)"4th May, 2009

Archer's Eye says:
"If you are traveling and you come upon a sparkly mist over the mossy dew-dropped lea, and notice bright shoots of light, strewn-about flower petals, and a dreamy kind of feeling, then turn around and you might catch a glimpse of Pixxl.
With her twinkling green eyes, petite beauty, and hair like the night, she is the Queen of the ferns and blossoms of Ulster. My favorite fairy of all Béal Feirste. She and her photography are a delight."16th June, 2008

"hmmm , i think its about time i told the world what i think of our pixchick .
lisa is a very good flickr contact to have , shes very good with comments on my pics even though i know some of those are shite!!
shes always happy to go through however many images shes missed on my stream when shes been away which sometimes can be shitloads .
she takes better pictures every time i view her stream which is always full of refreshing original ideas ,especially her self-portraits which i find simply great . shes come a long way in a very short time since i first met her photography wise. shes also a great friend whom ive spoken too a good few times and very excitable !!
i think what i like most about pixxls persona is the utmost honesty and care that comes from her comments and pictures . shes a good-un is our lisa , and she dont mind showing her arse in the name of art !
bonus .....hehehe.
heres to you lisa , have fun carryin on carryin on . and i meant it what i told yah about that photography idea .....come on cornwall , come try my lenses for size . oh yeah and shes pretty cute for a paddy ;0)"15th March, 2008

Livio_m says:
"I'm writing here the first testimonial on Flickr...and obviously this is for Lisa, since she's one of the first important contact I had when I started to upload my shots. Every time I look to a shot, my first (obvious) question is: "what is transforming this two-dimensional piece of paper into a three-dimensional image that yanks at my heartstrings?" Basically, when browsing Lisa's portfolio, the answer is: "her". Lisa and her character is always present in every single shot. Look at it in this way: a photograph that does not evoke emotions or feelings in the viewer has robbed the viewer: Lisa is not just 'documenting' or 'pointing and shooting'...she touches the hearts of those who have not experienced what she's seeing. Nevertheless...what comes from the heart goes to the earth..."

"The good things that could be said about Lisa are endless ! Not only is she an exceptional photographer, she seems to be a wonderful person. Always keen to spread a nice word.
Her photos have a wonderful Quality to them, and i ( and my daughter ! ) always look forward to what is comming next.
To me this is what Flickr is all about - Good Photos and Good Friends
All the best

Cali_Bunny says:
"I'm very happy that I came across Lisa's work here on Flickr. She is a breathe of fresh air from all the rest I've seen. I absolutely adore her work. She never ceases to amaze me how well she can capture the moment, the emotion, the love of life, the mystery, and the magic of life as she sees it. She somehow is always able to convey the mystique of her subject and this sense of mystery is what always makes you come back for more with anticipation of what is to come. She is a very sweet and very caring person and always has a kind word. She is well deserving of lots of *bling*. She's a wonderful photographer as can be so readily apparent on her stream and the sense of life that she conveys in her photos is much needed from the mediocre and the humdrum that sometimes is seen on Flickr. Thank you, Lisa, for bringing a touch of magic, class, and mystery to Flickr."
