"Michael is a photographer whose photographs leave something special in your heart. Taking a good photo is not so difficult;in fact it is so easy; but shooting the "real" emotions, not poses, is so difficult. Some people feel very happy to shoot a good street photography in which there is a poor beggar. They shoot and then forget!.No human touch...No feelings...No real "care"!. And some shoot for the sake of getting the real emotions, feel sad, feel "human" , feel everything that a human can feel when shooting..He is a real example for being a good photographer and being a good person. I love his photographs; and adore his style. I am honored to be one of his friends here in flickr. Call me whenever you come to Turkey, there is -always- gonna be a home for you here.Now for the people who visit his stream:You will learn a lot, you will love him and his photos. He is a must see here in flickr. Just keep in touch with him."

"I think of Michael as the king of color, although he does everything with great techincal skill and artistry. His vision for average people in the every day moment is exemplary. He brings the viewer to that moment and lets you experience it through his eyes. Every image has the ability to create stories in your mind, about the people and the places he's experiencing. I feel as if I have traveled through his world by viewing his work. He has a rare gift for instinctively recognising what so many miss. I look forward to every new image he posts."

Stavelin says:
"What can be said about Michael`s pictures that now have been said already? He shoot marvellous images, he is sincere and he has a human touch to his photography that isn’t very easy to come across on flickr.

Browsing through his stream is a wonderful journey and its accompanied with his great stories about the people he meets and the places he visits.

Thank you. You and your pictures add value to my time spent on flickr."

"I don't know Michael personally, but "meeting" him on Flickr has opened my eyes to a whole new world presented to me by one of the most humane and sensitive people I have ever come across.
Just browse through his images to appreciate my words and "walk" by his side to hear how his heart beats."

Daddy Woofer says:
"Hi Micheal.
I should have written this weeks ago. You are one of the few people i have come across that is so sincere, in your photography and your comments, to your subject matter and the other Flickr members whom you visit. I visit your stream at times when i need something to make me smile. (and even when i don't!) When i joined, you were the first to comment on my stream and you seems like a million miles away. Now i feels like you are just around the corner! Sincere thanks from me to you for all your encouragement. It's good to know you. With or without Flickr."

"People like Michael are what make flickr such a meaningful and enduring online community, his unabashed enthusiasm for photography, his impressive talent, but most of all his incredible warmth and humanity are inspiring.

Michael has a thoroughly inclusive attitude to photography, immersing you in his world, his concerns, fears, hopes and joys. I feel privileged to know Michael here on flickr and even more fortunate that he found me! Here's to you and yours my friend."
