  "Bruce's photographs are constantly reminding me that I'm looking at a flat screen and that the colors, shapes and forms I see have a reality in themselves. Besides that, he can show us an urban world in which every fragment, every tiny bit links us to a tradition that roots in every image that has been made. He can talk about Hopper and Frankentaler, about Tapiès or Stieglitz. And he can speak portuguese. Oh well.I think that what I like most about Bruce is his heart.

  "I wait with baited breath for the next papered-over window or piece of stinky detritus. The world is as ugly or beautiful as our perception -- and Bruce's senses are gorgeous. He is also kind to newbies. :) Thank you, Bruce!"

  "here are the things to know about bruce grant as you approach his images: he is an artist in several senses. he is shooting because he has to, and he also has a wealth of knowledge about the history of art and photography, so that his construction sites are grounded in centuries of visual understandings handed down to our time. also, you should know that a flickr pal of his made him the icon with the wings, and i love that he accepted that. we are all limited in the time and attention we can put into flickr (and fotolog too in bruce's case) and we can't all be best buddies, so i'm deeply honored that bruce has become my friend.
  
  here are some things you already know for yourself: he is simply flying with this perfect storm of the maturation of the online social picture medium, his passionate eye and his depth of understanding of photography. because he is a great guy he's just about as delighted when he discovers your fine picture as when he makes one himself. he's cherished in his photo-community, it doesn't take a testimonial to see that."

  "you know someone has had a tremendous impact on what and how you see when you start using their name to identify images (i.e.: brucewall1, brucewall2)
  
  immerse yourself in his world
  absorb his colors
  walk through his lines
  delight in his detail
  you won't be disappointed
  and you might find your world has changed for the better."

  "Bruce sees collage. The city puts them together, and he finds them. He puts order to remnants and small details. Beautiful order."

  "I had the great delight of meeting Bruce Grant in person today, after a long fotolog/flickr friendship through photographs and comments. Bruce's work first caught my eye through his amazing way to find patterns and colors -- not to mention incredible beauty and uniqueness -- in what I thought of as the oddest places: air conditioners, painted-over graffiti, chain-link fences, weathered boards, etc. and meeting him in person was no different; we spent the day wandering through warehouses and salvage yards, and not only did he find amazing things to photograph, but i did too, simply from imagining the world through his eyes.
  
  he's absolutely sparkling person, an inspirational photographer, and i consider a good friend. I can't wait to see the next batch of his images... and the next batch... and the next..."

  "An amazing angelic light follows Bruce around and illuminates the otherwise mundane with a sense of being more real than most photos allow, startling us with a bare beauty.
  
  Somehow he makes the modern and the discarded ancient again with color and pattern and flair. He's one of the ones i learn from nearly every shot. I learn how much i need to learn, i see how much i need to see with my own vision as he sees with his. He makes it look easy and offhand, but there's always depth to his photos, requiring a second look. In short, a hero."

  "I have followed Bruce's work for a few years now and he consistently adds the best quality of work with an eye for unique detail. He is personally responsible for more saved "favorites" in my account than any other flickrite. There is something about his images that make me think of great poetry. Thank you for your sharing, Bruce."

  "Bruce continually pulls off amazing shots of urban decay and chaos. Just when I think he can't possibly keep it up, there's another one. I need to add his entire photostream to my favorites."
