"We can invest enormous time and energy in serious efforts to know another person, but in the end, how close can we come to that person's essence? We convince ourselves that we know the other person well, but do we really know anything important about anyone?"

-Haruki Murakami, The Windup Bird Chronicle

    "I have been watching and learning from boyghost for quite some time now, his images always spark stories in my imagination, helping me see the silent stories that are told in my own neighborhood. His photos are dreamlike and I like to daydream. Thanks for sharing what you see."

    "One of my favorite photographers around, boyghost's images really draw you in. I especially appreciate his great images of Baltimore in which he uses DOF in a very creative and interesting way.
    I always look forward to his new additions."

    "Such beautiful photography! All of his photos include a lot of unique talent! Looking through the stream of photos, there are so many different views and angles of things that most people would not catch; Simple things made beautiful. And a kind person behind the camera is just the extra bonus! :)"

    "I always get a bit excited when I see boyghost's pictures in my photostream. His 50mm stuff & portrait work is amazing and whenever I have a spare moment on flickr I can't stop myself from stopping by to have a little snoop at his 'natural world' set.
    All in all, just a really great photographer!"

    "Looking through boyghost's photostream is like reading the storyboard for a cult indie flick - the kind of indie flick that has such a profound effect on you that you vow to tell all your friends about it and make your kids watch it. He has an amazing talent for capturing the moment and telling a story in a single frame. Really brilliant stuff."
