    "Since I've been too busy compiling my photostream, I didn't have enough time to look around too much. Jan visits my stream and comments on my uploads quite often, mainly because I like to shoot popular subjects. When I finally decided to visit his photostream, I was shocked! His images are a whole lot better than mine. More power to you, Jan."

    "This is a very interesting flickr site-the unique mix of photos as well as the way fmxf catches us off guard with his interesting photostream. One minute you are looking at a sky in Germany and the next minute you have a child in your lap- He calls himself an Amateur, but I see a pro!"
