  Donavan says:

  "I've been a fan of Smoothdude for a long time now and have watched his work go from good to great to downright fabulous. What amazes me most is his range. He can rock a wedding, make a hamburger look like a work of art and nail a street portrait like a veteran photojournalist. His photostream makes me want to work harder at my craft, makes me want to move to New York and makes me want a sandwich. Daniel is the bees knees and his photos live up to his moniker."

  "Been tracking Smooth for quite some time, lurking in the dark, envious of his work, and occasionally commenting on a pic here and there. The fact is Dude is just Bad Ass. Thanks for the inspiration brother."

  "Smoothdude is a "Cooldude". He is a master of his craft and has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he has no problem sharing. His photostream is one that I always make reference to for inspiration. So you can call me one of his "students""

  "I'm pretty sure smoothdude is, in fact, a dude. I'm not so convinced about the "smooth" part; he always looks a little rough to me. He's quite witty though, and a magnificent photographer. His stream is one of my favorites on flickr. It's your loss if you don't look through it."

  "The young Daniel Krieger, well-known on Flickr as the one & only smoothdude, is a talented photographer whose work has rapidly improved over the last few years. While first catching the attention of Flickr's talent scouts for his exceptional black & white portraits, the intrepid smoothdude quickly expanded his milieu to include food photos, street portraits, wedding photography and much more.
  
  When he's not spending his time taking great photos or editing, Daniel freely shares all the things he's learned about photography. Always looking for feedback to help improve his photography, the incomparable Mr. Krieger seeks out the opinions of Flickrites large & small to learn what people like most about his photography. If you have a few minutes or a few hours, take some time and scroll through some of smoothdude's greatest hits, and keep an eye on his new stuff, too."

  "One of my favourite photographers on Flickr (well.... and in general) hands down ..
  
  He's got a natural eye and flair for taking pictures. His portraits capture a mood and the spirit and essence of the person, time and place. His pictures create their own biography.
  
  I say all of this even though he coerces me with bodily harm to fav his pictures."

  ""Smoothdude is a great photographer, especially with street and portrait photography. If you like to be update on the latest mode trends from NY you should definitely check his stream. Don’t believe what I wrote here. Smoothdude forced me into writing this testimonial by putting a gun on my head. I ... . .""

  "What can i say? He's a natural at it. Loads of talent - oozing it. I really adore the way he captures the essence of New York, quite beautiful - real. He seems like such a genuine guy. Someone you'd be proud to call a friend. Plus, he looks as though he'd smell very lovely. :o)"

  "Smoothie is the best kisser on flickr. He also knows how to make a fine grilled cheese sandwich, and I am almost positive that he has never kicked a small child that didn't deserve it. If you ever need someone to fill in on your bowling team, he's your man."

  !@*&Y^R#&%^ says:

  "A) If I had the time or inclination, I'd fave every one of his photos. I mean, they're all just kind of awesome.
  
  B) I can't say the second part, because of something about brides contacting him through flickr and me being too explicit...so I'll leave it to your imagination what was here the first time 'round.
  
  C) But he knows what I typed, and I know he enjoyed it. So, that's all that matters."

  "Mr Smoothdude is your man for NYC. Ok so some of the people in his street photos are a little freaky, but I'm sure it's the model not the photographer right? He's a real flickr success story; with his beard and odd scarf he has gone from cat photo's to jobs for the BBC.
  
  All without making 'too much' of a fuss."

  "smoothdude has established an outstanding rapport with the admins and his fellow voters at DMU. His ability to get work done through the service personnel has been outstanding. He takes fantastic pictures, has a witty personality and no clue about computers. We here at DMU love him and would hate to see him go."

  Sadie Shooter says:

  "Smoothlube is top notch.
  
  One day I was walking down the street in Brooklyn and he was at the corner with his camera, watching me fiddle with my crack-pipe. I noticed a bulge in his pants and quickly asked him for some spare change. He told me he didn't have any but offered to feed me.
  
  I've been hanging out in his photostream enjoying his street photography ever since. And his beard is much softer than it looks."

  "Smoothdude: a novel approach to photography. This charming youth takes the best street shots...
  
  He's always farting in the streets of New York City. Beware of him! His farts are lethal!"

  "see, here's the thing about smoothie. with him, ya gotta pay attention. cos the man knows what the fuck he's doing. sure, he's sweetness personified, but ya gotta look beyond that at the pure, raw skills. he captures new york in a way no one else does on flickr (or anywhere else, for that matter) -- the people, the lines, the movement, the beat. and his interior restaurant shots and candid wedding portraits are downright professional. let's just say, he makes me wish i could go back in time and get married all over again, if only so's i could hire him as my photographer.
  
  daniel is the real deal, and photographically speaking, he's what i wanna be when i grow up."

  Brad Ross says:

  "Smoothdudes photography embodies all that NYC is. Like the cities people, his photography is eclectic, raw and deeply layered. On the outside New Yorkers are rough but peel away that outer skin and you get a lovely layer of raw emotion..... just like this artists exposed visions."

  "Smoothdude’s photostream hits the spot on Flickr’s Main Street. Since his opening in January of 2005, smoothdude has quickly gained a loyal following of admirers who dig his fresh style and tasty fries.
  
  The menu at smoothdude’s is simple, classic photography: cats, sunsets, and flower macro sandwiches. Each photo is cooked fresh, not taken off a warming tray. The photographs come to you hot, a little crisp on the ends, moist in the middle, just like a hot juicy photograph should.
  
  Every photo at smoothdude’s is topped with good lettuce, tomato with real taste, and smoothdude’s special sauce. Every smoothdude photo combo meal comes with soda and fries that were just cut and cooked. Any photo can be made into a double, triple, or even a home run (stack of four), for a dollar more per layer.
  
  Overall … smoothdude’s photography is some of the best photography Flickr has to offer up!"

  "Smoothdude and I have our mountains of differences. But there is no trumpet photographer finer than Smoothdude, the warm, shining colors of sound comes through and your heart might just melt. It IS testimonial day today, and so I must acknowledge Smooth's brilliance. He is indeed a very fine young man, who leaves both observant and clever commentary on your pictures."

  Mr Normal says:

  "Like the streets of New York Smothdude has character and wit. His sensitivity and ability to capture human joy and suffering and eccentricity is truly God given.
  
  However I wonder if his name refers to the fact the he has no body hair."
