  "A fellow Michigander, Flickr friend and photographer-buddy, Craig is spot-on in expressing the true art and craft of photography. His photos are captivating, beautiful, elegant and always tell a story.
  I am proud to call Craig my Flickr friend, photography compatriate,
  and "neighbor" in this great state of art and aesthetics, philosophy and life. Many thanks, Craig!"

  "Once upon a time I wrote a testimonial about Craig. It is still there, but the icon is faceless as I have deleted since my account. Now, upon my return it gives me a second chance to say how right I was in my words about Craig all those months ago (and it is always nice to know that one is right!). His images are not just superbly composed, but they are full of colour, vibrancy, and - life.
  
  Ansel Adams expressed better than I can what I'd like to say about Craig's images:
  
  "We don't make a photograph with just a camera. We bring to the act of photography all the books we have read, the movies we have seen, the music we have heard and the people we have loved."
  
  So, keep clicking, because I am always looking forward to your images."

  "By looking at Craig's amazing photostream you could immediately tell what a talented photographer he is. But, Craig is more than an artist who strives to achieve perfection and learn in the process. It's impossible to describe Craig in just one word, but if I had to I'll use the word 'kind'. He is always ready with a kind word or advice and always willing to help with plenty of patience.
  
  I have been learning so much from his images, and am looking forward to many, many more."

  "Anyone can just point a camera and take a shot...It takes a trained eye to capture an image that grabs your attention. More important is being able to add the extra dimension of humor...Oh my gosh, Craig is fall- off- your- chair- laughing- funny...And a great story teller on top of that. A real joy to be his contact."

  "Although I have never met Craig in person, I have talked to him via Flickr mail, and reply's back and forth in many posts. Craig always has a friendly word to say to others. He also seems to find the humorous side of things too.... which many of us could try to learn from.
  
  Craig's photo are filled with bright, vivid colors that grab your attention. Many of them feature the great state of Michigan and it's outdoors.... and all of the beauty that many people take for granted. As a fellow Michiganizoidianite I can relate to many of the locations he has photographed. The thing is.... the way Craig photographs and processes them, it's like seeing the same thing, but in a brand new light!
  
  Craig thinks that he has found the secret to getting photos onto Explore. He believes that posting a certain word with your photo (Sterkorama) guarantees success. The rest of us know that's it's really the way that his photos grab our attention that gets his photos featured in Explore.
  
  Take some time to browse Craig's photos on his stream. Then take some time to get to know Craig too. You'll be glad you took the time for both. He's a good guy.... and I'm glad that he's one of my Flickr friends!"

  "Craig was one of my first contacts on Flickr and is now one of my favourites. He was instantly recognizable as being an extremely talented photographer and a really nice person.
  His photos are very creative and show a high level of skill, especially his HDR work which is incredible.
  If Craig is one of your contacts, then you are very fortunate, as he always has a kind word and funny comment or two!
  Thank you Craig for all your inspiration, kindness and support and keep taking all those amazing pictures."
