  "Olivia shoots in a style that I really enjoy, but her work goes beyond the norm in her clever and beautiful captures that use color in ways that I find interesting and refreshing. I also really enjoy her diptychs, which fit together nicely without seeming conventional.
  
  It's simply a joy to look at her work again and again."

  "Olivia, it's time I give you an edit!
  Okay!! So I must say you're probably one of the most sweetest Flickr friends I've got on here! Your photos are top Notch and awesome. The bright wide-awakening beautiful colors your photographs contain are THE best! Sometimes, I wish you lived closer to me or something because when I view your images they convince me quite well, to just move there! and also, everytime you view my photostream you leave me such wonderful comments, which inspire me to do some more I just give you a big big BIG H U G to thank you!! Haha, one day though!, I will give you the biggest hug ever, because since I got this Flickr account there hasn't been ONE day where i've never felt inspired to do pictures, but because of you I've just been hooked onto this site and well, you know what happens from there! :D You're the best :)
  
  Love, Desi :D"

  P.tumbleweed says:

  "I testify that,
  
  a) Olivia has an incredible sense of her surroundings;
  
  b) Olivia has the ability to channel this sense into her photos; and
  
  c) Olivia makes me go "Oooooooh!!" every time I see her do it!
  
  I further testify that her diptychs make me envious. (It's true!)"

  Dshalock® Libertarian Emperor of America says:

  "Olivia's photo stream is inspired and a testament to her skill with the camera and an extraordinary vision. Her profile is one I've had to come back to on multiple occasions simply because her wit makes me chuckle. She is the epitome of what one would want in a Flickr contact, and I am shocked it's taken me this long to get around to writing her a testimonial."

  Andrea [bah! la realtà!] says:

  "olivia is funny, full of fantasy and ingenuity, often surreal, never repetitive.
  she deserves to be in the annals of photography.
  she's the granddaughter every grandma should have (except grandma would never know whether her sight is going bad or olivia's photos are a bit wacko).
  olivia is also a sweet person.
  but most of all, she has the bestest yellows and greens in the world!"

  "I think she is the sweetest woman of the entire world!! She is one of the first person I met here on flickr and I felt immediately in love with her work. Her images draw perfectly all the beauty in her eyes and the stories she write are hilarious and really enjoyable!!
  
  Olivia es un hermoso lío.
  Olivia es un tremendo río.
  Olivia es un hermoso lío.

  "Can I just say Olivia is a kick ass super photo ninja who uses her uncanny sense of humor and some photo wizardry to make me smile and laugh?
  
  I sure hope I can."

  countessian says:

  "If I didn't live here, .olivia's pictures would beSoCal, for me. I do live here, though, and therefore .olivia's pictures are instead like dreams that feel much more real than reality. It's just something technical about colours and grain and other things I don't understand properly, I suppose, but I think one day when I've been gone for a long while I'll start "remembering" SoCal as looking like these pictures."

  DBCondit says:

  "Olivia takes pictures of things that I would pass right by without a second thought, and makes them interesting. It's very irritating though because I wish I could do that. And speaking of irritating...what's with all the testimonials. Sheesh!"

  "much like an old burnt out superman trying to shoot his dust on the sun, Olivia's photos are always inspiring. If talent were bricks she could build a (brick) house."

  Ben Ryerson says:

  "Browsing thru Olivia's photos is like taking a trip back to all those happy memories I have from my childhood. Everything here has this wonderful warm, inviting feeling about it. She has a knack for using her toy cameras and thrift store cameras to create images that beat out anything that comes from a $5000 "pro" camera; her work perfectly illustrates the idea that cameras are just tools and you don't have to have the most expensive rig on the block to be wonderful photographer.
  Plus she's got a kickin' sense of humor and appreciates the Muppets on a much deeper level than you.
  Boo yah."

  She can be a breeze of saturated colors or charged energy of textured cinematography. I'm smitten with her visual perspective."

  "Olivia is a supercool girl with a very special eye. I really enjoy her work and is one of my favorites at Flickr. Her pictures are truly beauty and well done, also you smile watchin this place because you can see a fine sense of humor.
  Her comments are always very clever, there is no doubt Olivia is such a smart girl and awesome photographer."

  luckyfriendno2 says:

  "Sure, her icon shows only 15 percent of her head, but don't let that fool you; Olivia is 100 percent artist and 3 billion percent woman. Although her photos may seem meticulously composed, nothing could be further from the truth; Olivia snaps pictures intuitively, before she even knows what she's looking at...sometimes, before she even touches the camera. She's even been known to produce pictures of long-dead presidents and yet-to-be-born celebrities. Now that's talent."

  eight double says:

  ".olivia. is so flickr famous, that the last time you came here and saw those heartbreaking words, "Flickr is having a Massage"... it was just the tech support people adding a new mass data storage device to handle her comment load.

  Rich Burroughs has moved (see my profile) says:

  "I was going to say something about how creative and talented Olivia is, but she has way too many glowing testimonials. So, instead I will make up some negatives, to balance it out:
  
  She is creepy and stalkerish, she talks with her mouth full, and she sings Michael Bolton songs in her sleep. The only positive thing I can say is that her comments and flickr mail crack me up :)"

  .elsie*cake. says:

  "Olivia's photos are all about moods. They remind me of what makes me love photography so much in the first place, capturing emotions and images that make you think. She is pretty much brilliant. I love her work a lot. :)"

  "olivias is a photographer, whos love of the craft is shown in every frame. she has an original, creative style that is second to none.takeing ordinary life and showing it with extrodinary results and attention to detail.useing a simple toy camera, she pulls out all the stops and handles herself like a true pro.mad props goes out to olivia, and her goodie bag of eye candy."

  emiℓy says:

  "Today I was looking at one of Olivia's many excellent photos, and noticed a comment by user pinkie style: "every camera and every shot turns into magic in your hands." I couldn't agree more. Olivia turns some of the most mundane everyday shots (an arrow on a road, a grouping of telephone wires, a fire hydrant) into something absolutely extraordinary."

  "When her role is unfurled, she will show you the world!
  
  This Testimonial should be sung to the tune of "Lydia the Tattooed Lady" performed by Groucho Marx in "At the Circus"
  
  Olivia O-livia, say have you met Olivia,
  Olivia, the Camera-D Lady.
  She has eyes for what folks adore so,
  And a body of work even more so.
  Olivia O-livia, that encyclopidia,
  Olivia Queen of the toy Camer-oo.
  On her site she posts pics of zero to one hundred and two.
  Beside it the photos of a ghost ship, boo.
  And proudly displays walks from the beach to the zoo,
  You can learn a lot from Olivia.
  
  La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la"

  hi .Olivia.!
  I have brought you some things that I know they will be a pleasure for you:
  
  a small box of clouds,
  a thermos flask of blue-sky,
  two ships pirate of chocolate,

  a scuba-camera to be given in meal to the fishes,
  a little pocket-TV,
  a bed of whipped cream for sleeping and to softly daydream,
  14 pairs of new shoes for her fourteen brothers and sisters,
  a coat of tissue-paper for your warmer days,
  a pair of x rays-glasses for your fun,
  a little zebra hand-colored,
  a big tree fruit for your fresh fruit salad...

  "Olivia has one of the best foreheads I've ever seen on Flickr, nay not just here but anywhere!
  She also has a pungent potpourri of eclectic photography, if I may be so bold as to use a slant rhyme. Take some time to peruse her photos, there are many gems."

  Damned Thing says:

  "Olivia sees beyond the normal appearance of things. Here's someone who can see not only how objects and people have real context within their surroundings, but how even their fragmented details can exist independently and create their own context. She's also funny, kind, compassionate, talented, witty, has nice hair, does all her own stunts and loves nothing better than doing the robot dance naked (except for her socks) whenever American Idol is on TV. An original."

I'm glad to consideer her my friend."

  "If you're anything like me, you want to know where your_____ products are coming from. With OLIVIA, you can always rest assure that it's a cut above. I used to think my local _____ provided me with the best quality _____ my brain could handle. Boy, was I mistaken! Since discovering OLIVIA, my entire family has been a whole lot happier. Come on! Stop trying to cheat the devil with those other no-name brands! You owe it to yourself.
  
  OLIVIA is all you need for a happy, more/or less productive lifestyle. From Godzilla to manhole covers, minimalist cup cakes to mini masterpieces, OLIVIA always satisfies. You have my word."
