  "Je connais maintenant Richard depuis quelques mois et j'ai eu le bonheur d'admirer de nombreuses photos au fil de sa production artistique.
  
  Si je devais résumer son oeuvre en quelques mots, je dirais en premier lieu qu'il a toujours une approche humaniste quelque soit le thème qu'il étudie.
  
  Son regard sur le monde, avant de passer par l'objectif, fait un détour par son coeur afin de capter l'émotion qu'il veut transmettre.
  
  Ensuite, il est incontestable que mon ami Richard balade avec lui, en plus de son matériel, un talent qui le met au niveau des plus grands artistes de la photographie. Son oeil est infaillible, il fouille, décortique, capte le détail qui va faire la différence.
  
  C'est un chercheur qui, jamais satisfait de son travail, ne se contente pas d'une prise, j'ai l'impression qu'il a un diaporama dans la tête avant son premier déclic et qu'il peut ainsi présenter une série complète sur le sujet choisi et observé.
  
  Enfin, je veux dire, puisse sa modestie en souffrir, qu'il offre à son public au delà de l'mage, ou plus exactement en complément de ses prises, un commentaire, une petite histoire, une phrase poétique, un mot d'humour qui, d'une certaine manière, est un morceau de lui-même.
  
  J'admire cet artiste très professionnel et très attachant;
  
  Merci Richard pour tous ces cadeaux offerts.

  Merci Richard, mon ami, pour toutes ces merveilles que nous découvrons par toi.
  
  TOUTE TON OEUVRE PHOTOGRAPHIQUE mérite l'admiration et le respect et dans ce cadre un peu virtuel de l'image il est évident que tu nous montre la voie de l'excellence.
  
  Elie-Philippe"

  "I had the great privilege to become acquainted with Richard via this fantastic medium we collectively call Flickr and have most recently had the honor of collaborating on an exciting project with him, and his professionalism is only matched by his skill and talent with a camera. Each and every photo in his stream exudes vitality, atmosphere, and a deep appreciation for all things Asia--as he might say in his native French, every image explodes with a "joie de vivre" and a certain " je ne sais quoi" that makes the eyes pop and the heart sing. Bravo, Richard--my chapeau is off to you!!!"

  "Maxsimus c'est d'abord de l'humour et de l'émotion ensuite un photostream vraiment unique et créatif. C'est toujours avec plaisir et curiosité que je viens découvrir le monde qui l'entoure et qu'il nous fait partager avec cette touche si personnel qu'il maitrise à la perfection.
  Je suis heureux et fier de me compter parmi ses amis.
  Eric"

  "Maxsimus has got one of the most awesome HDR shots I have seen. His creativity can turn any photographic shot into a marvelous painting. A number of his simple shots can evoke varied emotions as well. I am always thrilled!"

  "Ok, I take the blame, I'm the one responsible for introducing Richard onto this whole Flickr world! And I'm pleased with myself, 'cos I'm now seeing a much wider picture of my friend (known as "Maxsie") and his really great photographic stream, which I wouldn't have otherwise.
  
  Richard has always been interested in photography, and often shared with me his P&S pics from our family gatherings, but it was clear his creative bent was striving to burst forth, so I signed him up for a free Flickr account (he's since become a Pro' and changed his moniker, btw), and I was in great part instrumental in his going ahead with his purchase of the D40. He's putting this great little cam to fantastic use, and not many people will realise that with the lenses he has, Richard in most cases has to manually focus. Considering his photography includes a lot of vibrancy and movement in his colourful captures of the people around him, these images are stunning. And he's another of those loyal fellows you can count on to visit and comment, praising often, and critiquing quietly, in private, when needed.
  
  I find his stream magical, and I can never guestimate what he's likely to post next, even when we've been out shooting together, but I know it'll be a good'un. And I keep coming back. I hope you do too."

  "My compadre from neighboring Thailand who's constant improvement in his photographic skills are being catalogued right here on flickr. Enjoying his every upload is incomplete without Maxsimus heading over to your stream and accusing you of being a good photog. It's always great fun with the banter so you must jump on the bandwagon."

  "Richard has a very interesting collection of people shots, which shows that he's observing people very well, and knows when to press the shutter at the right time. I also love the intermix of local culture, architecture and its citizens in the images presented here. Beautiful work."
