    "I think George is very sweet. He's always putting up nice witty photos so we can have that spoon full of sugar to make the medicine go down. He's very considerate to support us all. Nice to have him in my contact list and in my first flickr group."

    "I really enjoy your pictures, Derek. They inspire me!
    Usually, it's to write some fatuous comment..........but, now and again, they inspire me to pick up my camera, and GO AND SHOOT SOMETHING! And that's the kind of inspiration I like!
    Brings out the Ernest Hemingway in me.
    Thank you!

    Just noticed this in your profile........you are male AND taken.
    We can still be friends?"

    "I’ve long since forgotten how we stumbled upon one another, but George D. Thompson has become one of my favorite contacts in Flickrworld. Derek’s photographs provide an interesting and often humorous view of his little corner of the world. Derek is quick witted, generous in his praise and intelligent. He’s also a good judge of character as is evidence by the fact I’m one of his contacts!"

    "A local amateur photographer who brings out the grimness and grit in his city superbly and a fine, principled man he is too."

    "I've known Derek for little more than a week and a half, yet through his photos and his wit, I feel like I already know him as a long time friend.
    I enjoy his photos very much and I urge you to peruse each and every one of his uploads. There are gems here which defy logic."
