    "John is one of my very first contacts in flickr and I have always been drawn to his photos since the day I have discovered his stream.

    He's got magical powers that turns each photo into a creative masterpiece and leaves everyone breathless and wanting for more.

    Each photo in his stream is created with passion which is very evident. I could spend minutes in his photos enjoying every piece of element perfectly composed.

    John, you are an inspiration to me and to many. I look forward to your images that continuously amaze me. I am so fortunate to be called your friend."

    "In John's work, I find intimate beauty accomplished by the virtues of a remarkably wonderful person. John's imagery exudes that sense of reverie and nostalgia that is uncommonly sweet and rarely seized. From his masterfully crafted still lifes, to his utterly astonishing landscapes and seascapes, I cannot help but be moved by the beauty John instills in each and every image he bestows upon us. John's work is exemplary to say the least, more than worthy of admiration, and more likely to inspire excellence in all who witness the high-caliber of his work. I am thankful to have made John's acquaintance and I am honored to call this true Renaissance man my friend. All the very best to you, John!"

    "John's photography first caught my eye about the middle of September in 2007. His attention to detail, refined style, and crisp captures are a real visual treat.

    Recently, while checking through about 1100 images for Flickr's MagicDonkey group, I kept stopping at John's photos. In fact, every single one of his caught my eye, and most of them found their way into my favorites.

    I implore you: take a look at his sets--page through his stream. You will not be disappointed. Thanks for sharing, John!"
