  "Lee has the kind of photostream that I can only dream of. His attention to detail, superb composition and wide array of subject matter not only stimulates my rods and cones, but also causes a bit of drool at times."

  "Leesure is rather feisty and vocal regarding photography. Thank goodness I forgive him for that. For the record, he is a pretty great guy!"

  "The first thing one notices when viewing Leesure's work is that all of his shots seem superbly composed. Next would be the sheer breadth of his work, be it landscape, portraiture or documentary. He has the ability to instantly convey his ideas through his photography - a rare quality indeed. His photographs are always intriguing and though-provoking. Take a gander and see the truth through his eyes."

  "Lee has a pretty fancy bit of kit, and knows how to use it. He has a wide range of photographic styles, and an uncanny ability to show us what he sees through his eyes. He is definitely a photographer worth keeping an eye on."

  "Leesure was one of the first people I ever met in DMU. Whether he shoot portraits of his beautiful children, landscapes with different perspectives, or lightplay shots; he conveys more than pixels across a screen he creates art.
  
  Lee has always been helpful to me in looking at some of the technical aspects of my shooting and is never shy to point out some things you should change :)
  
  You never want to run into him in a photo challenge because you can never narrow down what his entry will be. It may be a grandiose landscape or a shot of bridesmaids dancing at a wedding."

  "A prolific photographer, who shots anything that moves and even landscapes, there is one common thread in every of his photos: a great mastery of light. And he is a tough commenter too, I always learn something from is tough love critiques. A photographer to follow."

  "Very diverse photostream - all kinds of styles, all executed well. Leesure shoots a lot, and shoots well. I played him couple of times in Flickr 64 challenge and was frightened every time.
  
  Well worth the time looking at his photos."

  "I don't want to promote the guy.
  
  He doesn't need my approbation.
  
  Check out his photo-stream.
  
  It is full of light and magic and taking chances...that work."

  "Lee has a bunch of high dollar photography gear. Lots of people on flickr have a bunch of high dollar photography gear, but what makes Lee stand out is that he knows how to use it."

  Rod the Rabid Rodent says:

  "Leesure is a generous and thoughtful Flickrite who valiantly wages war against other people's imbecility. He also has some shots that are way way better than "not sucking.""

  "Lee is one of my favorite Flickr friends I have made. Though he may come off as a pompous jerk (which he is), he has been more than willing to act as a mentor for myself and other younger Flickr photogs. Lee has had a great impact on my photography as of recent, from the small things like telling me to get a black background to teaching me how to meter off of different areas.
  
  As for his photography, it is truly amazing! I find his shot compelling and unique, sometimes sitting for hours at work just staring at one shot!"

  "I have come to know leesure through one of my favorite flickr groups, DeleteMe. As of this writing, he has 1,424 photos in his photo stream. His portrait work is quite good! He has a good eye for composition, a great wit, and from looking at his photos, a really great family! (I think he need more lighting gear though!)
  
  He is a hopeless flickr addict and I think he may need an intervention."

  His presentations are bold , attractive, technically & artistically
  The book says the, "photograph should communicate to the viewer"

  "leesure is a very prolific photographer in the sense that he has taken a lot of pictures. I can attest to this first hand because I have seen many of them myself!"

  "You commented on some of my photos through "Explore My Photostream", so I clicked through to see some of yours and I just had to send you a note.
  You are inspirational!!! Your photos are so beautiful, you manage to capture a mood in every single one!
  I'm trying to graduate from the "point and shoot" school of photography and I really aspire to be even a tenth as good as you some day."

  "I've really enjoyed Leesure's photographs of birds and races, two of my favorite subjects to shoot. I hope to see him shooting race someday, or better yet, racing next to me. :-)"
