    "Leslie's is one of the few people in flickr's sphere, whom has taught me about colours and shapes so much without her even knowing it.

    Her photographs seems as if it comes from a different atmosphere, with other values and prejudices.

    clarity, colours and definition is the main pillar."

    "Leslie is one of my first contacts/Flickr friends. I am always amazed by her elegance and the work she did with light. Each shots is filled by soft light and softness, both if a flower and if a landscape and a still life. She is also a friend with who you are able to stand face to face and talk about your different opinion. I guess this is an important quality for each human being, first of all than for a photographer. I am so glad to write this overdue testimonial.
    Hugs, Leslie

This is the mark of a true artist and one who's stream I always look forward to viewing. Leslie, most of us would agree you have the most magically lit house ever, or that you just know how to capture it better than us! Thank you for sharing your work."

    "When I think of Leslie, I think "inspirational". She is a wonderful photographer and is an inspiration to so many.

    Her work is truly beautiful. It is simple, pure and understated, but at the same time "stays" with you. I know few people who can photograph eggs or oranges or other "regular" things so well and have me press the Fave button instantly!

    Leslie, your stream is so serene and calm and always a treat to view. I love having you as a Flickr friend:) xoxo"

    "Leslie is one of my fave photographers on flickr. I adore her work and look forward to her uploads everyday. Every photo is beautifully composed and processed to perfection.

    Leslie's sense of composition, color and light are always soothing and perfect. Things are done correctly and never over-processed. There is a simplicity to her point of view which I love. That being said, none of her work is "simple." I love her point of view and I think her taste is full of sophistication.

    I admire your work and am glad that you are a friend!

    xoxo, Lauren (01.27.09)"

    "Focus. Depth. Colours. Simple. Light. Corfu.

    If I want a moment of calm and stillness, to relax and soothe my soul, I go to Leslie's photostream. Her works are gentle, yet outstanding, in every way. Her sense of light, and colour, and her minimal approach are inspiring.

    But, really, "inspiring" is an understatement. Her images uplift the soul. In their simplicity they express and convey feelings and emotions and generate awe with her viewers. It is my humble wish, to someday see the world as she does, through the viewfinder, through her eyes. I thank you, my friend, for sharing these gems with me, with us, and above all, thank you for sharing your friendship... which I cherish and uphold.

    Someday, after the lights have gone out of my eyes, and the colours have faded in my world, I will remember corfu~, my friend Leslie, her works, and her friendship...

    Sincerely.

    "You know the old sayings "a picture's worth a thousand words" or "a photograph is a secret about a secret" ?. Well, my dear Leslie, i am enchanted by the story and the secret you're unveiling one photo at a time on your stream . I love how your photos never "scream" . It simply and quietly charms one into absolute adoration and respect . I had a chance to browse through some of your family portraits and suddenly, my heart felt softer .. there is a unique pattern of very humane characteristics and kindness that i pick up from your photos and i believe they belong to the wonderful human behind the lens . and i love that the most . Thank you for sharing Leslie ~"

    "The first time I saw one of Leslie's photograph's, my heart skipped a beat! Her captures were so precise and so amazing, they took my breath away. I couldn't wait to go through her photostream and I was not disappointed. I was in awe. The way Leslie sees something and photographs it is like a work of art. Her captures are no less than stunning.
    Her beauty does not end in her photograph's though. Leslie is so very kind and encouraging. She is precious and has a beautiful spirit.
    Leslie, I have been blessed from the moment I first saw your work. You capture such beauty!!! You are incredibly talented! You are so sweet and kind. Thank you for your encouragement. Thank you for the beauty you bring to flickr. You are an amazing photographer and a very special friend."
