- POD - says:

"Here is a Canadian with a sense of whimsy as well as a true eye for composition. His ability to create a story with a single still is powerful. Sometimes playful, sometimes mournful, always on point!

Armed with his trusty Sony and an arsenal of Zeiss Glass, Cafe strives to show you his world in a way that only a crazy talented Moka can!

To those that take the time to read this review, I dare you to take a stroll though Mr. Moka's stream and not favorite a picture. I should add that some of his best is not his 365. What makes Moka great is his commitment to family. It is this feeling and inherent belief that shines though in his works.

Please take the time to enjoy!

**UPDATE**
Now you can enjoy you Cafe with 100% more full frame!!!"

"cafe moka is one of the best photographers, I've seen on Flickr. His lighting techniques are amazing and his creativity has no limits. I love his sense of humor, which you can always see in his images. The quality of his images are top notch, great enough to be in any magazine! plus he is a pretty nice family guy!!"

"Creative, fun, surprising, reflective, bizarre etc..there are so many thing that you can say about Normand, but one thing is for sure his photography will make you have a good time and think "think" about so many things that you forgot."

"cafe.moka and his 356 is one of my favourite streams on Flickr, it never fails to put a smile on my face!

He comes up with wonderful, interesting and well executed shots. No two shots are the same and he treads the fine line between mad fun and all out looney bin crazy well.

His love for his family oozes out of his photos and he just seems like such a nice guy!

I have yet to see a "breakfast" or "dinner" shot from this guy's 365 but I have a feeling he could pull it off, his year to date has been so varied and fun and I like the environmental issues he often slips in.

I don't profess to have any photographic technical knowledge or artistic skill but I know that I like Normands stream and thats that.

Thanks Normand, for making my afternoon coffee complete ( it used to be the morning one...your uploads are getting later :) )
Cheers Sanae"

"I have been following Normand since very early on in his 365 days project, and I have been addicted ever since. What I love about Normand's photostream is the variety ! He manages to mix the fun photoshop images with the spectacular SOOC pictures he takes so well. I look forward to each and every one of his uploads. He has amazing skill with lighting, which he is very new to.. he must be a very very fast learner !!. Keep up the amazing work buddy. You have been a fantastic contact/friend to me here on flickr.. and I thank you for that.
You are a great man, best wishes for everything in the future.
Craig"
