  "Art is one of those rare photographers, with a subtle touch that leaves its mark on the pieces of art that creates. The window that is opens when he publishes one of his photos, transport us to a world where emotions and environments come together and come to life, allowing us to enjoy the simple beauty that the streets and its residents have, specially in a huge canvas as NYC. Thanks by your lessons!!"

  "You are an example to follow as a street photographer. You are everywhere and you don't loose anything, ordinary or not.
  I feel that I know the NY street People through your eyes and that's an excellent signal and a permanent lesson in this difficult theme.
  Your portfolio is consistently "street"...real life, real People.
  Congrats "Street Photographer" Art. I am happy to met you here, in Flickr."

  "Art, the true NYC street photographer. Through his sharp eyes and sensible shutter, we see NYC that we lived in or NYC we have never been. Oh, and Art cast a wide net, he is everywhere!"

  "Artcphoto is a champ! Always there with the supportive high-five comment. I know when I've posted a good picture when Art arrives!
  His work is courageous and simply perfect. I feel his work as I view it.
  I am on the street with him experiencing that moment .
  BUT! What really is great about him is the people on flickr that are drawn to him, He is responsible for my having so many great contacts here.
  We are brought together by Artcphoto.. He is our common thread.
  I am proud to be his friend."

  "Art is one of those rare people, and a real New Yorker…!
  It’s not just the photographs; Art gives each one a special meaning
  and description, for an ex-New Yorker like me it makes me think of a different time and place, for one who has never been, I am sure Art’s photos make New York ‘that place I must visit’ I have no idea what Art’s vocation is, what I do know is he should head of the New York Tourism board."

  ifotog, Queen of Manhattan Street Photography says:

  "Art is the quintessential street photographer. A master at capturing the extraordinary in the ordinary. The human element exhibited in these photographs is no accident. Art has an eye for seeing beyond the surface. From what I know of him through this cyber world called Flickr, he's also a great person. The Flickr community is a better place for him being there. Art = Art."

  "Much like a talented author who creates extraordinary stories from ordinary lives, Art uses candid photos to lift the curtain on seemingly routine situations, often revealing the unguarded spirit hidden just beneath the superficial smile, the ambiguous frown, or the enigmatic blank stare. His best shots, in my opinion, expose a piece of human personality that can only be captured in uncontrived situations. Always an inspiration, Art takes the kind of photos that I wish I had the courage, or more to the point, the "skill," to take. Yet another one of the many Flickr talents who deserves to be a permanent resident on the Explore list. Keep up the great work!"

  "Unlike Rob Hoey I have never met you Art but in the short time that I have been using Flickr as a novice photographer you always take the time to make a comment on my images and for this I thank you. You are the photographer and artist that I aspire to be like. You have shown me so much and hopefully some of it has sunk in! Although we have never met, one day God willing I will find my way to New York and would relish the idea of sitting down with you for a coffee and chat and also of course to watch you in action. Until then, thank you."

  Rob Hoey says:

  "I had the pleasure of meeting Art this summer in Greenwich Village. We sat in a sidewalk cafe where he spoke about his photography and some good books he recommended about life. Art is a gentle soul and has a sharp intelligence clothed in humility. While we sat there drinking our espresso, he took a photo of a woman sitting at the table behind ours. The shot was perfect and I marvelled at how easily he captured a certain expression that was fleeting and almost imperceptable. He sees things that many others do not see. He is a true photographer among other things artistic."

  "artcphoto takes the time to show us the reality of what his eye sees - the framing of his images seems to be completely natural and intuitive, and always includes the right lines , the right divisions, the right cross-connects and spaces worked with either colour or black and white - a real photographers eye for the format and content of the image, not an easy thing to do when shooting real time in real life scenarios. He knows the 'Decisive moment' of Cartier-Bresson instinctively.
  
  Hes shown us a whole community of people in cafes, bars, shops, on the street or in portraits in a way which seems to render the camera an invisible device in the process, I can almost feel the 'buzz' coming from the scenes he shoots they have so much life and vibrancy.
  
  A very fine consistent image maker who is always ready to share his own work, comment and appreciate others and maintain those connections."
