  ""jjjohn, the sailor"
  If you love to swim in the sea of flickr, you'll see a lot of ships.
  They are big ships, full of pictures: flowers, landscapes, beautiful girls and sunsets.
  day after day you always see them, and you can note they haven't flags or sailors, they are all equal to each other.
  But sometimes, if you swim a lot or you're lucky, you'll find some little boat driven by an expert sailor, there are a few photos on these, but , What a photo!!!
  Well, jjjohn is one of these sailors, look at his boat, when you see it, you'll discover so many jewels.
  it's a promise, but not a dicer's oath!!!"

  "Scorrere l'album di Giovanni e come vedere un film. Immagini che scorrono, dinamiche, colorate, sapientemente costruite. L'uso magistrale della tecnica fotografica unito a grande creatività e, evidentemente, grande passione ne fanno uno dei migliori Flickeriani.
  Bellissimo il suo progetto 365 giorni di Bokeh. Ama lo sfocato che insegue con determinata lucidità e sapienza.
  Bravissimo. Un piacere averti incontrato.
  maurizio"

  "non credo ci sia bisogno di troppe parole per commentare il talento e la straordinaria bravura di ~jjjohn~. non vorrei essere banale o scontata, o ripetere ciò che hanno scritto gli altri.. perciò dirò semplicemente che adoro ogni sua foto e ogni volta che guardo il suo stream non posso fare a meno di chiedermi se un giorno riuscirò mai a diventare così brava, ma credo che i suoi scatti siano ineguagliabili.
  decisamente uno dei miei fotografi preferiti su flickr! :)"

  "ho conosciuto Giovanni per mezzo delle sue foto, è giusto dire così? si può conoscere una persona solo per mezzo dell suo lavoro? in un certo senso, si.
  La sua fotografia ti porta in un altro mondo, dove per mezzo della sua tecnica ed il suo modo di vedere le cose, la fotografia digitale prende un'altra forma, piacevole, gradita, affascinante. Occhio sottile e perfetto, sa portare la foto nel punto dove si ottiene il massimo da uno scatto che per altri possa essere banale. Chi vuole imparare delle cose nuove che riguardano la foto digitale, lo può fare dalle sue foto: l'ho fatto anch'io.
  
  Complimenti Giovanni,"

  "Che dire di jjjohn...quando sono capitata per caso tra le sue foto ho detto solo una cosa: "WOOOW"...lui riesce a far diventare dei paesaggi comuni più belli di quello che sono...merito anche delle grandi conoscenze tecniche, ma non solo...la sua è Arte con la A maiuscola.
  Spero di conoscerlo un giorno..."

  _Blaster_ says:

  "Quante volte ci avrò pensato su cosa scrivere di Giovanni? Innumerevoli. Poi alla fine una frase era ricorrente: Introibo ad altare Dei. Può sembrare blasfema? Forse, ma esprime un concetto fondamentale per meglio comprendere la sua dimensione artistica: lasciarsi condurre negli stati di percezione che sono della consapevolezza e che si annidano nell'inconscio. Lasciate perdere la perizia tecnica, straordinaria, trascurate la spettacolarità, lasciatevi condurre da un suono, da un'armonia, da un brano jazz o un mantra ed entrate nel mondo dello stupore. Perchè lui, ne sono certo, crea le sue foto sul pentagramma, esegue una partitura dello stato d'animo e ti ci porta dentro.
  Guardate i suoi b&w oppure i panorami, le nebbie o le gocce...ascoltate la risacca dello Jonio, lasciatevi risucchiare dai cieli infiniti oppure trovate le chiavi di lettura...introibo ad altare Dei."

  "Outstanding technician balancing light and subject matter. His photos are that which take you places you have never been. Compositions beg more than a single look.
  
  I often refer back to his photos for influence and motivation."

  "se state leggendo questo mio testimonial su giovanni e perchè siete finiti sulla pagina del profilo di gio...e se ci siete finiti e perchè non ne avete potuto fare ameno di chiedervi chi c'era dietro a foto cosi stupende. Beh io non so chi ci sia dietro, non conosco di persona giovanni..l'ho incontrato per caso come capita a tutti i flickeriani, e sono rimasto incantato dalla serie di foto di Manduria.
  Beh se sei arrvato fino a qui, ti assicuro che non smetterai mai di seguire il suo lavoro.
  Fa un uso delle ottiche grandangolari degne del miglior fotografo del national ma con un taglio da fotoreporter ..lui ti 'sbatte' dentro il paessaggio..sei lì in quell'atmosfera, con quelle luci..ti coinvolge ..è davvero incredibile.
  Ma la sua sensibilità al linguaggio fotografico gli permette di trattare qualsiasi soggetto con la stessa 'grazia creativa'.
  Un maestro!!"

  "As I write this, Giovanni has 270 photographs on his pages and the highest compliment I can pay him is to say that I like approximately 260 of them very much indeed.
  He is an accomplished photographer and has a wonderful 'eye' for beauty."

  "Hello jjjohn70 (thought I'd forgot a j in there but no! :-) )
  Thank you for inviting me as a contact... I really like the color you give to your photos. And I really like the "How small we are..." I don't know how you manage to give that effect on your photos but... I don't know. Anyway that picture goes as my computer's wallpaper...
  
  And a Happy New Year !"

  "jjjohn70's sweeping rectilinear wide-angle shots with what seems to me a moderate amount of HDR applied are obviously done in a professional way. Sometimes we just have to thank The Creator for making the sky so perfect and just presenting us with the moment to be able to be there just then. That is the re-gift of many of his works of art. The natural mood lighting he hunts for plays on the mind at a very subconscious level. The skill and the timing of the ability to recognize a rare moment of mood is to be commended and he has created many fine examples of just that. His love of the land itself cannot be hidden. It is more than just a subject to be lit. It must be captured so you can go there over and over by just looking at it.
  Now that we have so much control over this digital soup, we can even ruin a perfectly decent picture so easily after the click. So far as I can see, jjohn70's soup is just right!
  Bravo, Ancore! - Tony in Brooklyn, NYC"
