  Compliments are a must, but in this case it is due.

  He's also very friendly too, which is always a plus. ^_^

  "This photographer is a great example of what the photo image-oriented, not oriented content, is the ability to create a powerful visual balance, which all together content come together and shape a global image, a great pleasure to discover."

  ScribeGirl says:

  "I open his photostream as if opening gift--there's always a surprise. I love the range of his subjects: intense close-up portraits, airy florals, gritty urban scenes, unique rituals and ceremonies (complete with a note on social history, so it's educational, too!), exquisite details "cropped" out of, and implying, a bigger story, color and black-and-white--all meticulously shot, with reverence, and without sentimentality. While one can find inspiration throughout flickr, his work is especially engaging."

  "I met AS through a momentary comment left on one of his photos. We got to chatting and eventually ended up meeting up for lunch. His love of people and his fine eye are evident in his photos which have brought pleasure to many. My particular favourites are the Harajuku Girls and the Faces of Nippon. I look forward to our paths crossing again soon!"

  "I found ajpscs image success rate to be notably outstanding. ajpscs ability to 'capture the moment' and feeling of 'what is Japan' is a joy to study. The ability to also create western perspectives of everyday Japan is especially unique, and makes the viewer (me) wonder if ajpscs eye is more than Japanese.
  
  For the would-be-traveller to Japan, these images create a highly motivational store of information. I recommend the slideshow mode for maximum jaw dropping effect.

  "I admire those who have the camera eyes and also able to capture some of the wonderful subjects when they appear before them. Ajpscs is definitely one of the few i have come across, who keeps a very humble attitude but full of confidence for all of his marvellous shots. He has influenced my every sense of photography perspectives from the point i first picked up photography. His great work will continue to bring more inspirations to me."

  "Ajpscs is one of the rare photographers that can capture street life with such intensity. I was looking for photos of Japan and Tokyo on Flickr and when I saw Harajuku girls I immediately fall in love with his style and photos. And my wish to go Japan increased tenfold just by watching them. It is as if I am there. Hope my wish comes true one day.
  I am new to photography and your photos to me are what photography should be.
  Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos and to be a continuous inspiration to me."

  "ajpscs' photographs can make you experience Japan's culture, tradition, nowdays life and people as if you're right there. Whether it's flowers and trees, sumo wrestlers, harajuku girls or house doors, all your senses become involved.
  As he says, there are no rules, no limitiations and no boundaries within us- once you realize that, life becomes an art."

  "This guy is something special. Every shot, every frame - he never puts a foot wrong. He is educating the world - about his home country, which he obviously loves - and about photography, which he adores.
  His work is awe inspiring, emotional and relevant.

  "There are so many photographers of daily life in Japan (me included) but ajpscs brings a view that is loving and beautiful and shows all aspects of the land without being insensitive. His images are stunning and rich and so memorable. I would fave every photo he has if I didnt feel sometimes I should look at other people's work.
  
  Not only is he an amazing photographer that is inspiring to super amatuers like myself, but he is a very nice person as well. Thanks ajpscs, I am off to fave more of your photos!"

  schuschu says:

  "From my point of view art is much more a way to be than a thing you do.
  Being an artist in my eyes means opening up to something bigger than yourself – call it trust in god, call it inspiration, call it chance or call it a poetical point of view.
  If a photographer derives his work from this kind of way to be you can see in his results.
  It makes the difference between being high technique artficial outcome or art.
  The way ajpscs photos touched me instantly, the way he’s catching the moment in the faces of passing strangers, in the sensibel details of flower fields or the high speed you can feel immediately watching his tokyo-rush-hour-in-rain-series or many other subjects, told me from first sight: he got it! - that’s art!"

  "A special man with a wonderful, distinctive eye ~ he's funny and kind; a really sweet person with a heart of gold. His photostream is always being updated with amazing festivals, rainstorms, and interesting candid moments of strangers. Even though he's recently become a *super-star* he's still as humble, generous and lovable as ever. Sonny looks for the art in the everyday & everyday I look forward to seeing what's new in his (p)art of the flickr-universe! There's always something fresh & wonderful to catch me offguard."
