  "A supremely creative cat, there is nothing slow about this Cheetah. His portraits, self and otherwise, are sometimes hilarious, sometimes moving, always entertaining. It's such a pleasure to swim in his stream."

  "He comes around one day.
  deep eyes.
  gentle hands.
  he takes a picture.
  he witnesses your heart.
  he looks for the hidden smile.
  he finds it.
  (click!)
  he changes your life.
  he shows you another way of looking at yourself.
  one so beautiful and understanding and breathtaking you can't conceive it. one you thought only existed in books. or movies. or dreams. One you become addicted to.
  So you stop looking in the mirror.
  You look at the pictures he takes.
  You want to see yourself the way he saw you that day. with that light. through that lens.
  Because whatever way you look in those pictures, it's like you've never seen yourself before. It's like you'll never see your real self again.
  So you want him to take thousands of them.
  because he came around one day
  deep eyes.
  gentle hands.
  silent.
  and slow.
  and he witnessed your heart:
  right there.
  beating in a way you never new.
  (but always hoped for)."

  "Hey Saludos Hombre!
  
  Desde hace poco que hago parte de Flickr, he visto cosas muy buenas entre ellas vuestro trabajo, y en verdad me ha gustado mucho, usted es un retratista del carajo! es muy bueno, me gusta mucho la iluminación que maneja, y en especial la conexión que se ve que tiene con las personas que retrata, sin lo cual seguro sus fotos no serían tan buenas. Hacer buenos retratos no es nada fácil de seguro y usted lo logra de sobra.
  
  Soy estudiante de fotografía, por lo cual me gusta andar viendo buenas fotos, las suyas me han encantado, Es profesor cierto? (En la Javeriana, creo?).
  
  Pues bien me alegra tenerlo como contacto y espero más adelante nos podamos reunir gracias a este mundo de la fotografía; de seguro hombre, los asistentes le deben sobrar, pero si algún día le hace falta uno, no dude en contactarme que yo con gusto lo haría, teniendo en cuenta que también vivo en Bogotá.
  
  Mucha suerte
  
  Rodrigo (tarnel2001)"

  "No se tu nombre, ni tu dirección, no conozco tu estado civil o un bledo de tu vida. No se que tan bueno seas o que tan perverso. Yo solo puedo decirte dentro de toda esta ignorancia "gracias". Gracias, porque cada retrato que tomas y que muestras aqui, es un pedazo de alma que te robas de alguna persona, y que devuelves de manera sublime y a tu antojo, en una foto. Eres como un mago, tienes un ojo "meraviglioso" y perfecto, que siempre termina arrancándome un "qué hermoso". Tu trabajo inspira, alivia, alegra, entristece, emociona. Es maravilloso. Gracias por todo ésto."

  "He isn't a cover photographer... I like much his photos, and although I wanted to comment them all, that would be impossible (in addition I don't belive to be able to contribute much). He is inspirador for me, that until now I am beginning a way of images. I belive, like many have said here, that there is something leaves the soul of the people that portrays, but also I believe that something of its soul is present. I admire to him, truely."

  "Karim is a great photographer, his portraits are really cool. They seem so raw and straight forward. I think we will see him, grow and grow more by every shot he made. Keep it comin' !"

  ""Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man"
  ~Edward Steichen
  
  Slow Cheetah's portraits mesmerize, haunt, mystify, lovingly leaving a misty residue of wonder and appreciation about the human face and soul. Thank you for sharing your work with us :-)"
