  "Craig is the kinda person who goes the extra distance as a Flickr citizen, always honoring others and bringing their work to the attention of the rest of us. Moreover his work is refreshing and inspiring. I've learned a lot from this guy and I'm a better photographer for it.
  
  I always look forward to what he'll post next ... no measure of predictability with him and that's a feature I like in any photographer. HIs work is always fresh, intriguing and creative.
  
  If you are looking at his work for the first time be sure to check out the portraits he's done of his grandkids. They will rock your boat and perhaps even bring you to tears of joy. And isn't that what it's all about?"

  "thorvaala has been one of my friends since I joined flickr over 1 year ago.
  His view of the world is seen through a set of very special eyes.
  He holds his family and friends very close to his heart.
  
  It is no wonder he is held in the same esteem by so many here on flickr.
  I am honored and grateful to have such a sensitive and caring friend like you thorvaala.
  
  Here is wishing you all the happiness you deserve in life.
  May the love and compassion you share come back to you so abundantly.
  
  Much love and Aloha from my heart,

  "Thor is a fun loving and hilarious contact. He makes Flickr fun. As for his skills, I have much respect for this man. He shoots film, and you really have to know what you are doing to shoot film. Also, his fish eye architecture shots are some of the most dynamically composed I have ever seen. If you really want to take it to the next level, add in his "night-time-architecture-fish eye" shots. They are super-duper-top-notch !!
  Thor the man is so supportive and positive. Thor is truly first class.
  Now that you have read about him, go check out his stream.
  
  
  
  Much respect to you Thor,
  Ehm"

  "This unique and creative artist is somewhat different from me; yet not really. I find that I am constantly drawn back to his photos- his unique perspective and creative vision. What I really like about Thor is his ability NOT to categorize reality- I have such a sense that he sees the world as a "whole" and he is definitely "walking in beauty." I truly admire his work- and subsequently, admire him."
