  "Chris, in true visionary fashion, takes the phrase "thinking outside the box" to a whole new level by turning any found cylinder or box into a camera capable of producing exquisite, magical images! Not only is he teeming with creativity and enthusiasm, he's also a super nice person to boot! Thank You Chris!"

  "CK's images are a visual symphony, taking on an ever evolving and beautiful life of their own ~~~~~ swirling around inside and finding a home deep within me. What a lovely and unique world Chris shares with us all; forever a part of this viewer - enlarging and teaching me in ways I can never thank him enough for.
  
  Thank you Chris."

  DerrickT says:

  "Oh what to say, what to say? Well, let me first start off by saying that Chris's stream has become one of my most favorite to visit, not only because of his brilliant showcasings, but also because of his witty humor and clever ideas!
  
  Chris's images are an obvious extension into the creativism that bakes in his heart and soul, driving him towards unpaved roads, as each road becomes brighter with each passing movement. The leaps, the bounds and the emphasis that are placed within each expressionistic image is often cinematically rich and a conceptual framework that can immediately make you consider Chris one of your favorite photographers, and for myself, this is the case.
  
  I know that somewhere down the road, his work will be in exhibits as the Oooo's and Ahhh's will come at a sparkling illustration, as the content becomes infused into people's perceptional ranges.
  
  I always look forward in seeing what he will come up with next and I get quite antsy when I see his image/name pop-up on my Contacts' page.
  
  Please never stop CREATING, my friend! ...I know you won't.
  
  Shine for always!"

  "After all this time of being inspired by him, I had not yet written a testimonial for CK, and I have no idea why. To be honest, I thought I already did, as my admiration for him is, for me, a truism. Now what can I add the preceding testimonials, to which I fully agree?
  His photography, full of effervescence and life, full of stimulating experiments, is a breath of fresh air. Mostly, his photos have soul. Photography is about communication, be it the subject that communicates with us or the photographer that communicates something about him and the subject. We feel that in your photos, Chris. We feel your love. That is the essence of good photographs, and what I would aspire to do.
  So I can say I've found a mentor (saying this might make him feel old, because it does make me feel young :-) )
  As doctors all over the world advise, browsing his photostream is good for the mind, good for the heart, therefore good for the health. A regular dose is recommended."

  "[ CK ] (aka: stoopidboi ...lol)is the brilliant mind behind the extremely innovative SPAMera. He totally knocked my socks off with this CANera (as others are know calling it). Pure genius! The SPAMera canera is a work of art in itself. If you have not yet seen the beauty of the SPAMera *please* see his photoset. It blew my mind. I have a lot of respect for this guy!"

  i to I says:

  "[CK] is: Humble, fun (very fun), great photographer, quite inventive, likes good beer, creative to the max...
  Chris's pages have a 'stream of consciousness' feel. I love it! Like Sly Stone once said, "People feel like they need approval from their neighbor..." (or something along those lines - Woodstock, baby). Chris doesn't work like that. He is doing his thing no matter and as a result, he has incredibly unique, well-done and felt images on his stream. Been over to the 'Collaborations' group? Well Chris started it AND keeps it going strong! One other thing - it's obvious he's a great Dad. I respect this guy a lot and always look forward to the learning and visual entertainment his stream offers."

  "I am so glad i found Chris! He's collaborative, experimental, good-humored, warm, and intelligent. I always know I will find some surpisingly good images when i visit his stream. [CK] is always pushing the photographic envelope. In fact, i wouldn't be surprise if he was using an envelope as a picture-taking device!"

  Elinesca says:

  "I can't think of any stream more creative and fun than [CK]'s stream. If you need a burst of energy, motivation and inspiration, you'll find it here, guaranteed!
  
  But most of all, I love his wonderfully nostalgic and romantic shots, produced by his latest cleverly engineered pin hole camera. They're to die for.."

  "CK recognizes the beauty of life in everyday surroundings. His love for his family shines through so many of his captures. He bucks the high tech systems with his love affair with toy and hand-made cameras. He started the Collaboration Group that speaks volumes to his creative ways of sharing and connecting with others. CK is an inspiration, and has a great wit and charm! Thanks Chris for your “Flickr addiction”… it seems to spreading around the globe. (you can send me the $100 now)"

  "Chris aka [CK] the wonderful photographer whom are so generous with his visual wittiness and brave experimentation... not to mention in sharing his adorable children and the cutest new nephew: Liam.
  
  I adore his way of pushing the envelope to give us something so challenging their geniuses are borderline freaky.
  
  Which is decent as we, his Flickr disciples adored him and can't help calling him "a Freak"
  
  Love you man!"

  "[ CK ]'s photos have become a Flickr essential for me. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm looking through my contacts' photos or trawling though photos in mixed RSS feeds, his photos always jump out demanding attention. Not only that, his signature quality makes them instantly recognisable; how much of that is there on Flickr? An inspiration, an education. Cheers for sharing your eyes with us [ CK ]."

  "Chris is so hugely creative and experimental and artistic. And his heart is big and open. His shots are widely varied, unpredictable, intelligent, crafty and full of joy. I'm fortunate to call him a friend."

  "Chris's genuine charachter shines in his work, and it fascinates me whenever I visit his stream. he's one of the first people i met on flickr, and his kindness and supportive words were (and are) invaluable. his images are thoughtful without being overly analytical, confident without being pretentious. his work reflects how much fun he has out there shooting, and it's obvious how much he enjoys the creative process and every facet of photography. there's always something new coming around that mountain, and i dig that about him."

  "A brilliant and modest photographer. The connection between his camera and his daughter is magical, and he has an eye for moments and skills to capture them that I can only dream about. He really deserves to receive a lot more attention around here."
