  "I am so glad that I actually had the opportunity to meet Willemijn in person. She's small, loud and she can't barely hold still for a second. In other words: Willemijn is a happy mess of love and adrenaline. She has that special sparkling glow in her eyes which makes me wonder if she's actually from another planet. Her creativity and the ability to improvise blew my mind. She is taking selfies like no other within milliseconds - and they all turn out gorgeous as you may now. Somehow, she always catches that very special moment which makes her photographs so original. Willemijn was born to be an artist and I am proud of being counted as one of her friends and colleagues."

  "Wille is my J-dub. I don't think my flicklife would be the same without her in it. She is candid, honest, scary, hilarious, loving, and limitless in her work. I want her in my pics and to take pics of me and daily cannot wait to see her new and always amazing works! I"

  "some days ago, dingesmijn told me this: "I am pretty rude and bold usually 8) Don't tell anyone, people on flickr think I'm sweet". i promised her to tell it EVERyONE i see. no one will believe me! well, neither i do believe her! There is no other stream of so amazingly sweet pics like hers on the one hand. there is no such lovely way of commenting like she does on another hand. there is no other such great honesty and reality in any others' eyes and giggles on a further hand (?), and on the last hand (?!), she faves my very few self portraits! :-D thank you, dingesmijn, for being so rude and for being on flickr! you are sweet.
  [edit]
  dich liebe ich."

  "Willemijn is one of my best friends for almost eight (!) years. We started the same way at high school but our lives have taken completely different directions. I went to uni to study forest- and nature conservation, she began to kiss German guys with beards.
  I always thought Willemijn had some kind of “need” to be different. Sometimes it was her hair, sometimes her clothes, sometimes her words…Most of the time I think that her “differences” are pretty cool, but that she doesn’t need them to be special. That’s also why I often like her simple photos of her friends and family the best.
  Don’t get me wrong; she must keep doing her weird, different but rocking stuff, but not to distinguish herself from the mass.
  
  Because with her talent there’s no need to distinguish, she is already a pretty, exceptiona,l cool chick."

  "Johanna is truly amazing, and so are her photos :)
  I love the way her photos never fail to give me an emotion and to tell me something, they are unbelievably expressive... and she's an absolute source of inspiration since she's got the coolest ideas about composition and post-processing!
  You rock, JW! :D x"

  "Willemijn is one of the sweetest persons I've ever met.
  I'm no pro when you look at artistic stuff and all, but I do know that I love most of her photographs.
  I think that's the case because her feelings and personality speak trough her photo's.
  
  But, next to her great talent, the best thing about her is that she's my friend! ^^
  
  I'm reallyreally happy that Willemijn found a piece of her happiness in kiwi_kirsch and I hope that they can stay together for as long as they wish, even though that might mean she'll move to Germany one day.
  Willemijns happiness is worth more than me wanting her nearby.
  
  So Willemijn, please just go on with what you're doing, becaue the stuff you create is fabulous!
  
  I love you Willemijn!"

  "Johanna Willemijn takes incredible pictures I only can dream of. The quality mixed with the quantity makes me feel very little. If somebody can be called a real photographer, it's Johanna Willemijn."

  "one of my favourite things about flickr is growth. sometimes that growth is personal, sometimes its my babies, and other times it is the growth of a friend i've met on this strange interface. well no one's growth has fascinated or excited me as much as johanna's. not only have i watched her go from an exciting girl to a strong woman in three short years (really? well, two at least), but her artistic ability has shot into the stratosphere. her early shots were tentative, testing and raw. well, the raw is still there, but now it is connected to confidence and craft and inspiration. plus, she loves my kids. i can't wait to see what this new start brings for you jw."
