"
Ana is one of the sweetest friend on Flickr. She is an
excellent photographer and a great journalist. She has such
a variety of subjects and a unique style and touch .
If you go through her photos stream - that I heartily
recommend. - you will see treasures of the world –from her trips—and
you will see also the poor people from the streets and their
sad stories…
She doesn’t only show us the beauty of life but also the
cruel reality we often pass by, sometimes
indifferent…..sometimes helpless…all these makes a
special and unique photos stream….
She is also a special and caring person. She is always
there to encourage others with her lovely words.
Thank you dear Ana for your awesome photos and for your
friendship. Love you."4th January, 2010

"Ana...
Tomorrow this year of 2009 will be living its last day and before this happens I want to write some words to you, dear Ana.
I wonder HOW a brazilian can do that in an acceptable way, as the poor vocabulary is not much helpful in such a moment.
Someone like you makes a difference in one´s life, my dear friend and you are a true inspiration to me, especially because of this "enormous heart" you carry inside of you. Each one of your postings, your words, the way you refer to people you get in touch with, your caring thoughts about them turn your stream into a very special place to be and I am so glad to have found it in this vast flickrworld.
I admire your attitude towards others and your "presence" by facing adversity in this world. Likewise, I admire your incredible sense of humour and your special "ways" to connect to people, including myself.
You are a great human and I compliment you for it, Ana...as well as I thank you for it!!!
Best wishes for a fantastic 2010!!!
Warmest brazilian hug,
Petra:))"30th December, 2009

"Ana es irrepetible, sus ojos son una ventana al mundo que comparte con sus fotos. Nos muestra los detalles, la libertad y la calidez humana en cada una de sus obras. Sus comentarios son siempre positivos, cálidos e inteligentes. Son como los de alguien que forma parte de mi familia. Ana es de esas personas que cuando se ausenta, la extrañas por que hace falta, por que se da a querer........ por que es un ser humano maravilloso
Es un privilegio ser su amigo."29th October, 2008

KathyAAdams says:
"It's difficult to put in words the work of Ana. Thoughtful is one of the strongest words that comes to mind. Purposeful is another. And yet another is deep. Each photo she takes is a masterpiece that is careful thought out and has a sense of purpose way beyond the obvious. One can't just glimpse at her photos, one needs to take their time and really *know* each one and read the little stories that go with them to get the true essence of them. For me her images burn into my mind a lasting impression. This is rare with so many photos on Flckr.
Knowing Ana has been an honor and a true pleasure, as an artist and a friend. She is alive, thoughtful and caring... Her thoughtful comments are very much appreciated as well."23rd March, 2008

"Ana Lee is one of the most competent and intelligent photographers I know. Her work is inspiring and each post is a pleasant surprise. The power of her photographic vision crosses the imaginary, with powerful and memorable compositions. Full of charisma, information and beauty. Her images are provocative...!
In addition to all this, she is loyal & affectionate friend. An honour to have her as friend and I appreciate the friendship with a specal and unique person as Ana Lee.
Her comments are always intelligent and relevant . She always looks to evaluate what the image sells, trying to see in addition is being shown. She has a special vision... a talent.
Bravíssimo, Ana! Abraços, querida!

"Dear Ana,
I have so many lovely Flickr friends,
I have seen so many wonderful shots,
I have read plenty of lovely comments,
But I am sure that no one have ALL these qualifications at the same time except you….
Thanks for caring, thanks for being a true friend
Your stream is so interesting, full of magic touch, plenty of adorable explanations, and above all you have spread your spectacular words while commenting.
I feel lucky for knowing you!

"Ana is a very caring and thoughtful person whom I am very lucky to have met on Flickr. She's always there giving a thumbs up and advice when needed, and very supportive to others photos. She is a wonderful photographer and an inspiration. She brings out a hidden beauty in each of her wonderful photos...and behind each photo, a story is told. I am extremely fortunate to call Ana a friend. Thank you, Ana, and look forward to seeing more of your great photos!"

sandy in seattle says:
"Ana doesn't make it easy to peel through the multi layers of fabulous images that she adds to her Flickr site each week ... She hasn't put her photographs into sets (so far) ... You either have to catch them as they come across your contact page if you are fortunate enough to have her as a contact ,,, or dig through her photo stream ... or find things listed under her tags ...
Which ever way you choose, you will be rewarded with beautiful photographs that make her home city of Toronto come alive ... She has captured the skyscrapers ... St. James Cathedral .. the beauty of Lake Ontario and the Toronto harbor ... snippets of street scenes ... street performers at the Toronto Busker Fest ...
You will also discover another world if you visit her photographs taken in her travels to Turkey. She has captured the colors and people and places just as beautifully as she has her home in Toronto ... In Turkey, you are treated to scenes of life along the Bosporus River in Istanbul to pottery making in Avanos Cappadocia to the people living in Goreme Turkey ... You are never bored when you visit her site ... she might even surprise you with a beautiful image of a flower here and there along the way ...
The most recent revelation was to learn that Ana had a life in front of the camera as a model in the '60's before she began taking photographs seriously herself ... It has been a joy and pleasure meeting Ana on Flickr and seeing her world through the lens of her camera ... I am thankful that I can call Ana not just a Flickr contact but a friend as well"15th January, 2008

"When I got into Flickr, I mostly wanted to learn new tricks and draw inspiration from people who are into photography. Gladly, I met some really really talented Flickroos that I find inspirational - and that includes Ana. No doubt that Ana is a very good photographer and she's improving day by day - but the one thing that I most like about her is that I feel the heart and soul in her pictures. Now that's what I can say inspirational."
