I am a retired educator with a growing interest in photography after being away for many years.
Having seen the wonderful images you all have uploaded, I know I have much to learn. I am in awe of your artistic talent and hope to reflect just a tiny bit of that, and welcome your constructive criticism.

And thank you all for the 100,000+ views.

tatyana. says:
"Forgive me for lagging this testimonial but here I go:
Rich is one amazing individual. He’s given me such wonderful insights, always commenting on all my photos and sharing his stories, as well, which help improve my work. It makes me feel really welcomed into the flickr community.
He is wise, genuine, talented and just an overall amazing photographer. He finds something special in each and every photo he sees and knows exactly what to say, whether it’s advice or support. Rich has just always been so supportive of me right from the very start and I truly appreciate that so, so much. Thank you, Rich. You’re amazing! :)"20th February, 2012

Celine Taylor says:
"So I think I must edit my testimonial for Mr Richard Levine.
Reasons why you must know him:
1. He's still the kindest person I've ever met on Flickr. He's very supportive of everyone and he really does care about us. Everyone.
2. His photography is really brilliant. I'm not just saying that, I mean, his photos could be mistaken as one of those pictures in National Geographic.
3. His love for his family, which shows every time he took a picture of one of the member of his family.
4. Brilliantness?
I really don't know how to say it. But I'm sure you all will love Mr Rich."22nd January, 2012

"I can't believe I haven't wrote one of these yet. Where do I begin? Rich is such a genuine person. His photos each tell a story, even when he doesn't write in the caption. I always look forward to seeing his newest one.
Rich, thank you for ALWAYS supporting my photos, it truly means so much to me. You find the beauty in each and every picture you come across. I don't know how you do it but I, along with all your other contacts, thank you :)"9th February, 2012

"Rich is one of the reasons I love flickr so much. He never fails to give positive feedback to everybody's pictures and he has incredible insights and wisdom. He is an amazing writer too! Every caption, story, and thought strikes wonder in me. He has a way with words. Not only is he a great writer, but his pictures are breath-taking! They all have wonderful compositions and colors. He can see beauty in something so simple. Thank you Rich, for making me believe in myself and for making flickr feel like one big family"

"I don't know why I've waited so long to write this testimonial, but here it is! :)
Well first off, Rich's pictures are amazing! They're unique and creative, and I'm always excited to see what he's posted! He inspires me to do better on my pictures, too!:)
Also, I value his opinion on my own pictures so much! He gives such great advice/expertise, and I love reading his comments. When I read them, I can't help but smile, because I know they're not just the average "great picture!". They always mean something to me! :)
Thank you so much, Rich! :)"3rd November, 2011

"I don’t know if what i'm going to say will do any justice on how amazing Kuya Rich is, but I figure I should give it a try before this testimonial gets more and more overdue.
I admire him in so many ways. He sees pass what is obvious and allows you to appreciate things that you would often ignore. A person full of wisdom and wonderful insights. To be honest, seeing him comment to any of my works instantly makes me smile. Why? I don’t know, maybe he simply has that effect to a lot of people, not just to me. He’s a genuine person, and an inspiration to many. One of the reasons why I’m still clinging to my 365 project, and I’ll forever be thankful.
Xoxo,
Emz"19th September, 2011

"I haven't known Rich all that long but since we discovered each other's streams I feel we have become fast friends! He is one of the most genuinely nice people on Flickr! His comments are always thoughtful, honest and heartfelt which is a nice change from the generic "great shot" that we have all experienced at some point on here. When it comes to his own work, Rich's photos are real, they are great at conveying emotion and they also show what a dedicated grandfather, father, husband and pet owner he is! If only there were more out there like him!!! I look forward to seeing more and more of his art"

"Rich,
he is one of the loveliest, kindest people on Flickr. When he comments on my work, not only is he extremely kind, but he provides me with critisism that can improve my photos. He is a lovely photographer & a wonderful person, who, I'm sure, that everyone treasures on flickr.
Thank you."28th August, 2011
