    "ferdz takes his viewers and readers to the most beautiful places with his excellently-composed photography and well-written chronicles. he has a very keen eye for details, a grasp of the sublime, and a flair for conveying the transcendent drama of the moment. as bai allan noted, he is often quiet, more often than not, lost in his passion to pursue the light and absorb the magic of his subjects. i say let him be and let his captures do the talking."
