  "I always enjoy coming back to Jeff's stream. It's such a pleasure to look at his pics, which are obviously a big influence on my own work. I only wish, that Jeff would do more of his brilliant, brilliant stuff. The way he uses space around the scenes he observes is just perfect."

  Anima Fotografie says:

  "Ever since I was first fortunate enough to stumble upon Jeff's sublime images here on flickr I have been never less than awed & inspired by the deep underlying beauty he finds in the everyday. It is a quest that I share with him when I wander with my lens, failing mostly, but loving the journey always. On days like to-day (it's raining here, dull & overcast) when my creative juices are almost drained, just a short excursion through Jeff's magnificent photostream makes me want to go straight out there into the rain & try again..."

  "The Film Director, Frank Darabont , once said: "Visual storytelling of one kind or another has been around since cavemen were drawing on the walls". This quote got me thinking about the body of work of iamnotanumber8885. His photos tell stories; yet other than a title, he leaves the viewer to fill in the dialog. Read the comments on any photo in this stream and you will see that each person brings to the shots his own interpretation. Not every photographer's work has universal appeal, but every shot in this stream does -- therein lies the charm and the artistry. Bravo,dear J!"

  "I first came across Jeff's photo-stream quite accidentally when I saw his "moon holder" picture in one of the pools and remember being amused by the title. That picture led me to his stream and I went through the entire collection sitting in office when I should have been doing something very different :)
  
  Besides being a terrific photographer he has a great sense of humour and has never failed to amuse me with his comments. He is also a source of constant inspiration ! Im not good at writing testimonials and rarely write one, but I had to mention how thrilled I am to have found Jeff on Flickr and to have him as a friend."

  "Jeff does not know photography. He does something else.
  Never ever ask him to take your portrait. Your size will be 0.8885% of the frame size.
  
  
  Everyone envies Jeff. Me too."

  "As Jeff’s work is minimalist in style I shall keep this short – his inspiration is so great that I very often look around whilst driving my car and think – Jeff would like this. Not been safe enough for me to stop the car yet to take that Jeff style shot – but one day."

  "Not any number. I won't come back on his gifted eye for minimalism as so many people have emphasized this perfectly but I will just say he's got his way with colours and that his work is very coherent and compelling with a softness that delights our eyes."

  "Master of minimalism, connoisseur of composition, numero uno of negative space, and proud purveyor of priceless puns!. Ok, enough alliteration perhaps!!
  
  All in all - bloody brilliant! (Sorry couldn't help myself)."

  "Ever seen pure creativity? Ever felt genuine originality? Ever witnessed true photography? Stop searching your and our galaxy, you found it right here! He claims not to be a number, but we know better than that. He's one of the very few numbers, actually. Be prepared to be carried away on a rollercoaster of pictures you could easily see in 2 seconds, but will usually take 5 hours. And Enjoy it All, for that's entertainment. In a Grand way."

  Sarah Schloo says:

  "Equally an artist and a photographer, Jeff's photos are instantly recognisable. Indeed, I have noticed his influence sprinkled throughout Flickr streams, always with a reference to his work as an inspiration. This alone is an indication of a great artist in the making.
  
  He has as much talent as encouragement for others to explore their unique potential, and thus he is a highly valued and treasured contact for many Flickr members.
  
  More importantly however, he is very good at spelling."

  "JefF... I've had sooo much fun with him and his comments... but above all, admiring his photos!
  sometimes I just visit his stream and think: "*supressed curse word* how does he do that?!?!!? it's just too perfect!!!"
  
  and he's influenced me, not only to start thinking about minimalism, but also in taking better photos... I want to amuse people like he amuses me...
  
  also, ok ok... I know! I own him a frapuccino :P
  
  thanks, Jeff... you've done a lot good to me, and didn't even know it :P"

  "You never know where Jeff is going to turn up next. His work is always an inspiration and his personal "style" of taking photos is almost breath-taking!
  I respect Jeff as an artist on a very high level and i love his sense of british humor. Most of all, he is fair and honest, and i adore people with that purity of intention."

  "This guy makes me SICK.
  How can you be so good and only have trees in half your pictures?.
  Can someone take the blody camera off him and give the rest of us sucker's a chance.
  If I can discard envy,jealousy and hatred for just a minute I'd like to say that Jeff's images(damn him!!!)are some of my favourites here on Flickr.
  Every pic is unique,innovative,imaginative,creative and most of all interesting.......Damn again!!!............
  He must have a very intelligent camera to do all this for him!!!!.
  Anyway,,,,,,,,,,what was I saying?
  Oh yes some of my favourites are "Now it's time to say Goodnight"(with tree),........."Moonwatcher"(treeless) and the superlative "Life without Ted"(who gives a damn whether there are trees in it.............it is that good!!).
  Please ,Please, Please go and look at Jeff's photostream.........it will probably make you throw your damn camera away......it doesn't get any better than this.
  I received no payment for this testimonial.........I did it of my own volition and I am of sound mind."

  "Jeff, Jeff, Jeff.. I could say that his work bursts with a signature style and originality that is easily recognizable and gets a tremendous response, but you folks already know that. Jeff brings a ton of life, energy, color, and wit into his photos, many of them sprinkled with doses of the surreal. What would otherwise be a picture of clouds in the sky and would evoke a "Nice clouds!" response, turns into clouds with a pair of feet and stilettos. The viewer is caught off-guard with Jeff's visual tickles, and then pulled in by the humor, colo(u)r, and warmth that radiates from this stream. Jeff claims he's not number 8885, but we all know better... and wouldn't want it any other way :)"

  "An influential and prolific friend, iamnotanumber8885 consistently delivers quality photos in his unmistakingly very own style.
  
  I remember when I spotted "Man and dog" about a year ago in one of those post-one-give-five-trophies pools where we all met regularly. Minimalism with a man and a dog. I was smitten. That was the work of an artist who found his own style.
  
  I enjoy returning to iamnotanumber8885's photostream regularly ever since, I always find a gem or two to show he never tires pushing the limits.
  
  I usually don't do testimonials, this is my first one for a very special artist and a good friend"

  "iamnotanumber8885 is a photographer of telling much with just a few. Most of his stylish images are very clearly - if looking only at the colours and shapes I could say plain. But there is always much more to his photography - his photos have something to tell, something deeper. If you look 10 times at his same photo, then 10 different thoughts come to your mind. This photography does not want to tell you, what to think. Just lets you think. No moralizing photos in his stream, which is very good in my opinion. The only "moral" I can discover here, is the "moral of beauty" - because these photos are not just thought-provoking, but very pleasant to look at. Some of them are literally airily, flawlessly, out-of-this-worldly beautiful.
  iamnotanumber8885 is a master of framing. His photos are for sure among the best framed ones on Flickr.
  Also he is a colourful photographer: on his stream you can see many photos that make you smile or laugh - amazingly amusing and very clever photos. You can see "stolen" moments from life of humans: busy, sad, interesting or amusing.
  There are many "minimalist or heading that way" compositions: all of them are masterpieces of the captured beautiful simplicity to the eye and giving various emotions to the soul.
  This stream is an isle of positive thinking and atmosphere, where a talented and gifted photographer shares with us his unique view on the world."

  "where to begin with this new friend of mine. An optimist, a dreamer, a romantic, a hopeful one, a believer in peace, a believer in human kind, a giver, a creative mind, an individual that lets me be myself, an outspoken one, one who reaches out, a person that calls you out by name (aka gets to know you on a personal level), one who invests in people!!!!!!!!
