  "what mike does with color and composition has always been a huge inspiration to me... but getting to meet him and befriend him in the real world has been nothing short of spectacular. he's so eager to share his love of film and photography (and music and movies); i'd been intimidated by shooting film, but he demystified it for me, and made me feel at ease with it.
  
  mike will never tell you this -- he's too humble -- but he is one seriously talented photographer. he's also the sweetest guy you'll ever meet. he's good people, and my life's the richer for knowing him."

  "Mike is, without a doubt, the chillest, illest, most laid-back, calmed down, peace-lovin', smilin' good old soul I've ever met.
  
  And his photographs blow my mind."

  "Mike may be fairly new to the world of photography; however, in that short period of time he has mastered cross processing and lomography. Explore the depths of his photostream you will not be disappointed."

  "i think emcee might have been born with a holga in his hand and if not, he should have. his photographic range is amazing from the streets of los angeles to lonely barns in upstate new york. his x-pro brain also gives his pictures such colors it hard to understand that anything so pretty is real. not to mention, he's a great pal!"

  "What can I say?! He is a lovely friend! Love his sense of humour and the way he combines it with his work (no matter if he's in a good or in a bad mood) . His pictures and ditychs are so so cool that light my days. I am an addictive to his imagination!"

  And Soon the Darkness says:

  "Mike is such a great guy - ‘salt of the earth’ is the cliché that fits the best - and his photostream is like a fairground lucky dip (except that with Mike there’s no naff prizes nobody wants). Classic cars, lonely barns, mad pylons – you name it and Mike has xpro’d and Holga’d it with a degree of skill and imagination unrivalled anywhere on this site. His support for others as well as the energy he puts into his own stuff make him one of the brightest stars on Flickr."

  "i've waited and waited for this guy's pictures to turn bad, or ugly or... whatever.

  "What can I say? Mike or Wakejunkie as I knew him then was one of the first photographers on Flickr to catch my eye. His work is not only amazing but a definite inspiration to me. I cannot believe he has only been producing this fantastic work for a year!
  Keep going Mike! What would we do without artists like you!"

  "I looked down on the holga before discovering Mike's stream.On the days when all inspiration is gone and you've forgotten why you photograph...when you cant pick up the camera..visit Mike's stream to restore your faith.
  Thanks for the frozen moments Mike."

  "Wakejunkie is a one man wrecking ball slaying all lomographers in his mist. But that's not his purpose and I'm sure he has lots of love for all of us but folks he's killin us with his photos. The fact that he just got into photography is saying something. You don't learn color wake it tells you and you listened
  
  Great Photos!!"

  "i've been an admirer of wakejunkie's work for a long time, but after seeing the last batch up shots, i felt compelled to share my love of his work. i could truly fav every one of his shots; his eye for color is unsurpassed. i've often thought of trying to emulate his technique, but there's just not way. he sees the world in a way that i just don't, which is one of the reasons his shots just make me squeal with delight and think to myself, "dang it! why didn't i shoot this??""
