  "OK, I know him not so long, but I learned two facts:
  
  1. He associates lovely, beautiful or weird photos with very funny underlines or headlines!
  2. He always posts nice and individual comments to every photo!
  
  Thank you for your support and for being such a great Flickr Friend!"

  "Joe has been a long time flickr friend and this testimonial is long overdue. I have enjoyed viewing Joe's varied stream of images over the years. His nature images, and landscapes are just amazing. He also enjoys showing us his sense of humor and great finds in his photography which bring a smile to my face. Joe is a fantastic flickr friend and I very much appreciate his kindness and encouragement in his daily visits. Thanks Joe, it has been my pleasure to share the love of photography with you."

  "This has been a long time coming.
  I have known Joe for a couple of years now and have been lazy about writing a testimonial to him.
  One of the funny things about him is his love of the republican party. He loves to create a little controversy just to get people all fired up. I have never let it bother me as I know he is really a funny kind of guy.
  I first met him with his great macro photos of birds with the most phenomenal dof. This is part of our ongoing joke.
  He actually came to my city with his beautiful wife Lila, but alas the government would not allow him out of their sight for fear of his right wing ideals. I think he rocked the ship on his cruise too.
  I am really surprised that Lila lets him get away with his babe stuff and that wandering eye.
  He has never left me with the thought of why do I like him. I always enjoy his remarks and candid humour.
  What I don't care for is that he has Sarah Palin in every room of his house.
  I'll make sure when I have the hiccups to go to his place to rid myself of them....haha
  One day we will meet in person if the border patrol lets either of us in to the others country unrestricted.
  
  Now that I have written you a testimonial Joe, I can expect that check in the mail....right?
  
  Have a great day now and forever Dude.
  Give Lila a hug from me...just don't squeeze her too hard."

  "Hey Joe !
  
  I stumbled upon your stream sometime last year due to our similar road trip interests along with the places and sights we've seen. And boy am I so glad I did!
  
  You've definitely seen some of America's greatest wonders. Not just the big examples, like Monument Valley but also the places most people would just ignorantly drive-by without ever knowing...
  
  I do love your stream(s!) and your kind comments on mine also. You're always kind and interesting whilst being a gentleman. It's a honor to know you sir.
  
  Take care - all the best for 2010 matey. ......Steve!"

  "Joe was one of my original contacts shortly after I first joined Flickr over a year ago. His work has been very inspiring and evokes emotion in everything he does. He even inspired me enough that I started a 2nd photostream dedicated only to people shots/modeling. I feel as if I have known Joe for many years. He is one of the most down-to-Earth people I have met on Flickr and on this planet. I wish him the best as I enjoy his ever developing best."

  "The most outstanding person I have encountered on Flickr. His philosophy is refreshing and inspiring. His photography is an inspiration a true professional sharing his skills for all to see. I treasure his visits - he is most generous of his time. I too have evolved to use less groups more selective in contacts inspired by his outlook. i don't have that many followers but treasure the quality of the few that evolve to friends. Thanks for knowing you"

  "Joe has been a contact of mine on Flickr for quite some time now!
  I can always count on seeing some wonderful photography and witty commentary when I visit his photostream! Joe has wonderful scenery photos from Texas to Alaska, shots of his beautiful dogs and of course... the pretty girls!!
  Joe is always quick to stop by with kind words as he frequently visits my photostream!
  I'm lucky to "know" him and glad that I get to share some of his life through his photos!!"

  "Birdman of El Paso, what to say .........
  
  Joe, hmmm, Joe is a straight shooter & there is no pussy footing around in his corner that is for sure !!
  I look forward to his daily posting which will inevitably have a commentary just as interesting as the photo itself.
  It's not unusual to find some very healthy debate going on around his photo or comment ...
  I love his sense of humour & especially his label "SOOP" -
  I have found all of his photos to be interesting & of the highest quality.
  
  Joe often takes the time to visit my own photostream & always leaves a comment which is usually very encouraging for me.
  He is also not afraid to give me a good "kick up the bum" if I haven't posted anything for a while (& it usually works, doesn't it Joe)
  
  A wonderfully, true Flickr friend.
  
  Joe, you crack me up mate !!
  
  Go on, do yourself a real favour & browse through Joe's photostream - I guarantee you wont be sorry you did !!"

  "The Birdman of El Paso, otherwise known as Joe, has a wonderful talent for capturing the beauty and details of nature, as you can see by browsing through his Photostream.
  
  I look forward to seeing his photos on a daily basis, as they truly amaze me! I am continually surprised and delighted by his subjects, ranging from babes to birds!
  
  Thank you, Joe for being a loyal Flickr Friend. Your photography is a source of inspiration for me! I appreciate your work and your friendship! And I love your candidness! Your comments are always fun to read!
  
  Keep that Mad Donkey busy! Congratulations for the tons of photos you have on Explore! All well-deserved!"

  "One of the first groups I joined when I started on Flickr was called El Paso Joe's Place.
  I had no idea how Flickr worked and after I joined, I noticed a message thread with people thanking Joe for their invites.
  I thought, "ut oh, I didn't get an invite.." Now what to do? Ha.. I wrote Joe and asked him if it was okay that I had joined w/o an invite?
  I'm sure he had a laugh over it.. That was Sept 2006. Time has really gone by and I'm still a big fan of Joe's place.
  
  I would marvel at the shots Joe shared of his many birds. I also admired how Joe didn't care about all the fluff stuff on Flickr. Joe is the kind of guy that if you want a straight answer, he's the one to ask.
  
  I have really enjoyed following Joe on his trips to Alaska and the photo journeys he takes. He's been a great Flickr friend. Someone I'd really like to shake hands with and take to lunch and talk about life with.
  
  He's been a great photo mentor and I look forward to every shot he posts.
  
  Thanks Joe for the different groups you have, I've always felt welcome. You're the real deal.
  
  Thanks Joe.."
