"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind."

Ed Karjala says:
"Ben has been a contact of mine here on flickr from early on. He consistently presents images that are compelling, because they communicate something other than simply fine composition or processing. His work has an intangible but visceral quality that can only be a result of passion for the subject, moment, feeling, technique, etc. He is also a great member of the flickr community, participating in various groups, taking the time to comment, always with an easy-going and often hilarious perspective. A visit to his photostream will quickly reveal all of this, and what's more, the love and respect Ben has for family and community. Really good stuff."

Ryan Brenizer says:
"en is an innovative photographer, constantly trying new things in ways that don't just help him grow personally, but help the rest of us see the world in new ways. You may have seen him in the March issue of Popular photography, where is do-it-yourself setup for long exposures of passing lights while driving got him a three-page spread. If you like Macro, great captures of an impish, adorable child, shallow-DoF portraits and great colors, you'll like Ben's stream. If not … why are you on Flickr, anyway?"

"I greatly enjoy visiting Ben, Nikki and Liam online via Flickr. Ben is a fantastic photographer who constantly offers interesting glimpses into his daily life and his surroundings.
Long live Ben McLeod of Clan McLeod! Sorry -- my nerdy "Highlander" knowledge is showing."30th November, 2005
