  "Gary is the only one that I know, who can take a photo of the floor -just the floor and nothing else!- and make it look like a haiku poem… He has a unique talent in giving extreme value at things that doesn’t have value for the rest of us… And what he finally does with his photos is to give value at the moments of our everyday life. Every shot of him is saying: “you don’t need so many things for being happy, reduce your needs, look around you and find happiness in what you already have…” For me, that’s his photography philosophy, that’s his name “Zen52”…
  
  Gary, I love your work… Every day, for a few moments, you give peace in my mind and my soul and I thank you for that, it’s a really priceless gift. :)"

  "We all heard about the philosophy of " Less is more", and viewing Gary's photostream is the best way to help you experience & learn from Gary's photoworks why the simply the best & theordinary the most beautiful. I did admire Gary's remarkable photographing technique & the artistic sense , but the most important part which made me feel so touching when viewing Gary's work is how he tranformed & deliver the deepest emotion of oridnary people's life through his inner sight & camera. Take out all the seduction of colorful appearance , I learn how to find out the deepest & sophisticated feel of people from Gary's simplicity artworks. If you love life, and seeking for the touching of the life, then don't miss Gary's photostream, you definitedly will find the answer from his amazing photoworks."
