About .bullish / Mike Rosales

".bullish has caught my eye right from the start, when he was still using a phonecam to make the most beautiful photos on flickr. he made me look in a different way to the world around me. his tools may have changed but the quality has not!

thank you, Mike!"

ツGaLLeRiA JeNeSiS✿ says:
"I guess, for most of us, whenever we capture a moment through our photographs, we always wanted to convey that feeling or emotion that lives within us... Mike's (.bullish) emotions are so deep and that comes out of his creations! He is so true to what he feels...

(When I realized that this could be a testimonial, I decided to cut and paste it from my comment)"

boiworx says:
"peng.. salamat sa mga idea mo...

kudos!"

aladybug (flickr break) says:
"what mike is doing is art, and like most art, to be honest, are either we get it, or we dont.

i would like to think i get his art. i have my own interpretation of it, probably different from his real intention, but i get it. and that's what makes me return to his stream every time i'm on flickr, because "everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination...""

imeenena says:
"You truly have a special gift, i love love love your photos, they never fail to amaze me."

"I like wandering through Mikes stream,it's like I'm wraped in worm blanket and reading my favourite book with best underlined sentences...=)"

"Hindi kita talaga maintindihan Bullish! ang hirap habulin ang iyong mga concepto... nakikita mo mga Ordinaryong bagay then your turning it into Great One's! wow hindi nakakasawang bumisita sa Sreams mo! IDOL!
EDIT: 1- Sa Sobrang Galing wala na akong space na mag comment sa mga picture mo at sa dami dmo rin mapapansin hehe... KEEEP ON INSPIRING US! Master..."

*Cora says:
"Mike is one of my first few contacts whose work I admire. He's not just one of the best in flickr, he's really a good friend who never fails to leave kind and heartwarming words every time he visits my photostream.

Thank you, Mike, for letting me feel I'm good.;o)"

.I Travel East . says:
"A benevolent, insightful, brotherly guy whom I always feel at home with, Mike gives warmth and inspiration through his words and his works.

Whenever I feel lost and bored to tears with my work there's always Mike, his friendship, his colourful magnificent streams to turn to. His sense of humour uplifts, his photographic skills enlightening, and his elan and talents with the medium are all extraordinaire yet humble.

I bow to this guy. And I mean, I bow to him. He is among the best of the best here at Flickr and he doesn't have any air about him that flaunts it. Keep up the good work, idol master sensei lordship Sir Mike. You inspire many a people more than you'll ever know.

Mabuhay ka!!!

Ok. Let's drink!

Inkblots™ says:
"".bullish" - the name says it all! His photos makes you think twice whether or not your photos are well-captured or not....something like "why did I not think of that?" or "how can I do that?" --for he has that "Nth sense" when taking one. Only he has that..."

ms.tinz says:
"two words to describe .bullish:
PROFOUND ARTISTE!

sasamahan ko pa ng KERI!!!"

"Mike is one of the first flickr member I've noticed here. Not only he possessed a good eye, he put meaningful captions on his photos as well, inspiring and humorous alike. Called the DOF master, I am in awe of his creativity and talent. Keep clicking that camera Mike, whatever make and type it is!"

Daniel Y. Go says:
"One of the most "pure" and stunning photographer I know. His shots are honest and the words he choose to go with his photos makes it perfect.
God bless bro! =)"

incunabulus says:
"Unassuming guy with cult celebrity status (who knew that he was the one near me in the smoking area?). Never runs out of ideas and irony (since his blogging days). One word, CREATIVE.

The idea of making this testimonial just came spontaneously (particularly these irritating parenthesized side comments).

Cheers, Mike!"

jeridaking says:
"Mike is a master of seeing beauty out of things you and I normally take for granted......and because of that he not only has what we photographers would like to call "The Eye".....he has "The Heart" as well."

"I just admire this guy...really! used to call him DOF Master Mike. His photostream will attest to that and certainly he's got more than that! He has a very perceptive eye on almost anything and everything... and he will amaze you on every composition he makes... very original and pure... extensive treatment is not his style... still very impressive shots. Thank you for sharing those inspiring images and beautiful quotes... hats off to you Mike :0)"

anon nona says:
"I've been following Bullish's stream for about a year and have enjoyed his creative work. The photos here run the gamut from serious photojournalism to the inane and the quality of his work just keeps improving. I'm glad to have him as a contact!"

"Mike so rocks with his camera phone.
Now that he owns a dSLR, imagine what would happen to flickrland.
Witty, fun, kind, cool -- he takes awesomeness to a whole new level."

"Poem
Like musical instruments
abandoned in a field
the parts of your feelings
Are starting to know a quiet
the pure conversion of your
life art seems destined
Never to occur
you don't mind
you feel spiritual and alert
As the air must feel
turning into sky aloft and blue
you feel like
You'll never feel like touching anything or anyone
again
and then you do

.....When you know someone is passionate about what they love they will always show you... Mr B as I fondly call him, is an extraordinary example of this through his photography he opens up a beauty in his art, through vision and insights into his world through which you are invited to travel. He is highly creative and his literary talent is mindblowing. His humour always sparkles through via his poetry or his wit found in quotes -- and his dipy thingys are to die for! ;0))) You are a very wise, very kind soul Mr B and a total inspiration. I love your photo stream and you constantly amaze me. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you for sharing such an awesome piece of you! And thank you for being such a warm and great friend *kisses*"

_janin says:
"Mike's photostream was one of the first ever pages I have uncovered on Flickr. From then on, I got hooked and truly inspired! His photos are something that you can reflect on, then let the skill soak in and just hoping to learn more! Thank you Mike."

pfeyh says:
"Mike has amazing pictures in his stream. The volume of great work that he creates with his phone camera makes me want to put down my DSLR and rethink what I am doing. His matching sense of humor that ties an appropriate quotation to each of his images lends a special flavor to his stream. Wonderful, creative, funny stuff that I am happy to have the privilege to view."

born19june says:
"His photos are very difficult to resist. I will commit a crime not to comment on one. Very good eyes, very good quotes, very good emotions, very good colors and compositions. Saludo ako kay Mike. Please continue your blessed talents and thanks you very much for sharing. God bless."

ohsleepless1 says:
"Oh Gosh, where do I start?.... I have met soooo many great friends through flickr and although I have never met Mike face to face, I feel that I know him soooo well. He has a special warmth about him that really shines through when I view his images, as you will also see when you look through his stream of photos, they are truly amazing!
His work is so full of inspiration and I know that no matter how I feel before entering his little world... I will always leave it feeling rested and enlightened...

Thank you Mike for sharing your wonderful world with us!"

laz'andre says:
"Viewing his photostream makes me reflect on my view of photography. It's not the gear nor the scenery that makes an image outstanding. It's how one capture its essence and proudly presents it with no hesitation or compromise. And that makes me respect the photographer not just the photo.

Kudos Mike!"

est0al says:
"The eye!
He has a really good eye for forms and perfect compositions. You will also find many images which make you think and especially the words going with some of these images are often the starting point for serious pondering."

Half Pinay - Laretta Houston says:
"He is amazing, thoughtful, sincere and he so rocks with his photos. I can't wait to meet up with him in the Philippines. = )
