    "Amy is going places. She has encountered some changes of late that I do believe will guide her to her destination. Amy has some pretty amazing images that I feel only SHE can take.

    I went to her web site and was very impressed on how she put together her images, the titles she gave each category and the professionalism protrayed.

    I adore her wit, sarcasm and talent. Just by watching her, I have learned quite a few things. Amy, even when you don't think anyone is watching, you are teaching."

    "Amy was the only woman in the rap and hip hop music class I was teaching at the community college.

    "Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
    he had a mohawk
    but he didn't care, word!"

    She wasn't a very good rapper, but I gave her a B+ for trying. In my 25 years of teaching Rap, she was the only one that dressed the part; beanie cap, denim jacket and leather pants. Twice I had to ask her to leave her weapons at home. One thing I give her credit for, was her tenacity for going all out.

    I asked her to stay after class one evening to discuss some of the subject matter in her mid term since it was laced with profanity and references to moldy foods. She broke down and told me rapping was an outlet from all the frustration she was having due to a huge creative block in her photography business. She showed me just a few of the shots she had done. Kids, still life, landscapes, models and a big, brown lovable dog... she really can do it all. And in appreciation of her, I wrote this:

    Yo Amy Boring gots the skills
    Her photos give me the chills
    I don't like those puppy mills
    Never take the sleeping pills
    And she's a Nikon girl,
    So you know her photos killz!"

    "Inspiring, Creative, Talented, Passionate...the list goes on. Amy is anything but boring despite her name. Amy has become a mentor for me and is never shy about helping me become a better photographer. I highly recommend any of her creative works.

    Thanks Amy,

    "Amy's awesome :) She has a fun gallery filled with pictures that just make you want to smile. Lots of pics here that radiate life and love. My experience with her doesn't just end there, she's also a great friend! Easy to talk to and a good listener :D. I'm glad that I've made the friends that I have here on Flickr and I'm more than happy that Amy's one of them.

    My experience with Amy has been nothing but the opposite of boring :D

    Thanks Amy!

    Cheers!

    "Amy is HILARIOUS! I know that's besides the point, but she really is.

    Anyways, about her photostream...

    Technically she is fantastic. Her lighting, her compositions, everything, is always spot on. Her b/w conversions slay me, I love, love, love them!

    Her style is unique, and each photo has some special and different about it, yet she is consistent. Every photo on Amy's stream is good!

    To sum it all up, Aboringphotos are anything but boring, Amy is awesome!"
