    I admire MR HASAN's conviction and his emotional connection to his photographs. His approach to his compositions is both poetic and artistic. His pride for his people has been admirable and can hardly wait to see what he recites next. Hasan has been a pleasure to have as a contact. I wish him the best of luck in his journey to grow both professionally and personally."

    "M R Hasan has captivated us with some of his most talented photographic skills. His creativity seems to knows no bound and I am a big fan of his photo journalistic work. I think he is one of those hidden talent that you run into and wonder, why haven't I heard of him before? In fact, I recall following his path to a great group he has established "Bangladeshi Photographers" That place has become one of my most visited destination here in flickr. I want to conclude this testimonial with a big thanks to him for his continous encouragements, support, and friendship. Keep up the awesome work that you do, and wish you a wonderful success in the road ahead."

    "What an amazing talent! His work is simply outstanding and wow. I scroll through his portfolio with my eyes wide open because of his extraordinary photographic talent.

    I must say that he has "the eye". I swear he has two, but nevertheless, he is the genuine article. I love his people shots which are so different and yet they speak for them selves. I wish him all the best."

    "M R Hasan is my 1st contact in flickr, he found my photostream floating lonely and was kind enough to put a nice comment on it. I followed his profile and discovered Bangladesh in a new way. Browsing his stream will make you say WOW and keep you wonder HOW it was taken. Some of his pictures are truly mesmerizing and brilliant. It’s a journey to Bangladesh through his camera that can show both the beauty and the ups & down of human existence."

    "Viewing Hasan Bhai's photostream is like viewing a gallery full of works of a master painter at the peak of his talent.

    The divine splashes of color, the crispness of his shots, the expressions he captures time and again - he is, truly, a gifted visual artist.

    He is already on his way to fame and fortune. Let's just hope he continues find the time to entertain us with his magical orchestra of colors on flickr in the coming year!"

    "If I had to finish this testimonial in one sentence, then I would say:

    " He is an excellent friend, fantastic personality, caring elder brother, outstanding PHOTOGRAPHER, unparallel visualizer, abysmal skill in graphics design....................and he is my friend!!!"

    But u know, I don't have to finish it in one sentence. I have the freedom to express my thoughts about him!!

    When we first met, I didn't know about all these. I knew him online as the foundar of Bangladeshi Photographers Group. Later we met in person. For his organizing skill and dedication, Bangladeshi Photographers has become the largest Bangladesh group in Flickr with almost 230 members to date. He is apt in capturing the true Bangladesh, which is beautiful. His comments and thoughts are always inspiring.

    Those who have visited his photostream, I will suggest you to make him a contact of yours, because loosing him means loosing a gem u found in the sand, which u threw away. You will be unfortunate to miss his photos in Flickr... and u will be even more sorry in future, if u don't add him as a contact. He is gonna be someone, someday.

    ...........I have the freedom to say...and I said!! Ha ha ha. Take care ,Hasan vai."
