  "I think Donavan's photography can speak for itself, in that when you look at his work, it's pure and genuine. I've known and worked with quite a few photographers over the years, sure their work is 'very good,' however, none of them ever made me want to leap INTO the photograph *itself* and wish very much to be a part of whatever was going on in the scenario. Whether it's a child in fun and frolic, fully aglow with warm smiles; a beautiful series of portraits - seeing not only crystal clear right into their eyes, but their warmth and beauty; or capturing an incredible myriad of photo's as having been a photographer at someone's wedding. When I look at his work, it just makes me wish I had BEEN there!!
  
  There's also a very unique quality in Donavan's work which I find a rarity this day and age. With his own unique style - in lighting, style and passion - whatever he's 'shooting' - he loves what he's doing and it *shows* - Capturing facial expressions, moments in 'flight' (skipping, running, playing); catching a moments with loved ones; portraits, to wedding celebrations, etc.) -Somehow, when I look at his photography, it's as though he's managed to encapsulate a myriad of lights and shadows, dancing in the background which in turn frames whatever he is shooting. Not only do I find this amazingly talented but beautiful -as it all folds forward into the focal point (person, people, places...)
  
  The oddest (?) but neatest part of all of which I see, is that in most cases - those 'good photographers' - eh..sure, I'll go for a print or two, maybe for my desk or somewhere in the house. But I can TOTALLY see a GREAT deal of Donavan's work - in 'series' - matted and/or framed - in panels - blocks of four or six - or even an entire WALL full. - *beautiful work* - THAT is the difference (in my opinion) between Donavan and most other photographer's works I've seen. I don't want their work covering my entire wall~~ (in series, with special lighting, careful placement - so as not to ruin the 'series' or flow of things!)
  
  Never stop clicking or 'looking' - Donavan, your incredibly talented eye catches moments which bring us all a tremendous gifts that will last us all a lifetime, especially of whom you've had sessions with... I can only hope that one day Vogue or Life will be knocking on your door and you'll have to 'do what you can' to squeeze them in for a session or two ;0)"

  "Donavan's super power is photographing Los Angeles through a golden sunlit looking glass. His world is all soft light, subtle gestures, intimate moments and unadulterated bliss. His portraits are effortless. His images are timeless. His subjects gleam. I am constantly in awe of his talent and love losing myself in his vision."

  "Donavan shoots fantastic photos. His portraits are second to none. He knows how to find the best natural lighting in any circumstance. They're all very natural, without relying on the gimmicks that a lot of amateurs use to feign artistic vision. Donavan knows how to make his subjects look natural and they show authentic emotion."
