  "Gail's work doesn't scream at you; it quietly surprises and is the kind of thoughtful photos that, like soft jazz, plays beautifully in the background until some phrase or line perks up your eyes and then you can't stop looking, can't stop wanting that gentle shock that she gives visually. Her awareness is something i admire immensely.
  
  I've happily come to know her photographic landscape generally and enjoy her comments and honest and undemanding friendship quite a lot."

  "Quite simply, Gail's photostream is one of the most enjoyable on flickr. Her eye and attention to detail is amongst the keenest I've yet come across here, and I look forward to her clever, "quick-witted" images, and her vision of her world.
  
  I've never gotten the impression that she spends a lot of time commenting on others' photos, but her quiet presence is an enormous influence on me and (no doubt) others."

  "to have the kind of eye for visual beauty that gail has would be enough for most artists...
  
  but to combine this with the kind of social/anthropological eye for the nuances of social photoblogging (a term i learned from her)...
  
  ...and to combine that analytical understanding of social nuance with real concern and care for the people involved...
  
  and to combine those with the kind of catholicity of taste that embraces urban beauty, natural beauty, and baseball...
  
  and to combine all of those with the passion for social justice -- and the conviction that art can further that passion...
  
  this is rare...exceedingly rare
  
  i'm honored that gail has become my friend
  
  you go, girl"

  "Actually I don't like to comment on a single photo. It is the whole of your stream that facinates me. I am very sensitive to colours and forms, eventually emotions.
  I have been working with pictures for most of my life as a professional, so get bored easily. I envy those who are able to create a new reality using forms and colours.
  My other half is the storyteller. Some pictures have a story, you are telling me those stories too. I hope you also let me free in finding out what story the picture itself delivers to me. Watching pictures can be an adventure a journey in to what you present in forms and colours.
  Your photostream is facinating, I'll be watching your archive from now on with a different attitude.
  
  Thomas"
