  "Votre pseudo de "chercheur de lumière" est on ne peut plus approprié. Quel beau photostream. Paysages panoramiques haut en couleurs ou en noir et blanc. Mouvements d'eau. Des photos travaillées pour impressionner. Magnifique."

  "Lightchasers photographs are phenomenal, and the lengths to which he goes to capture them is what makes them even more impressive. I know of few people willing to wade out in mono lake at 5:45 in the morning to capture the tufa in morning light, but lightchaser shows that it is worth it.
  
  Keep photographing."

  "Michael, every single picture of yours is literally my favorite. I revisited your profile quotes (after 1.5 years) and now totally understand why you quoted them. As you mentioned "no tears from the writer .... no tears from the reader". I have to say whatever emotions in your photos are perfectly communicated to your "readers"."

  "Each one of Michael's images is a gem, carefully carved from land and light. You know an accomplished photographer when you see one. They aren't just pretty pictures of pretty places... I can tell each one has its own story, its own adventure. It would seem the light chases Michael, rather than him chasing the light... but I know better. His images seem timeless and effortless and have the same well-thought-out quality that I see in images from Galen Rowell. They are beautiful. You definitely have to chase light to come away with these kinds of gems."

  "Michael’s entire photstream takes my breath away and brings tears of wonder to my eyes. His titles are thought provoking. He is graced with an ability to recognize and then capture the true essence of light. His work inspires me to return to some of the places he has photographed.... and have the patience to wait for the light to expose what his photographs reveal!"

  "Michael's journey in outdoor photography, and his sharing of it with all of us, is a splendid gift for which I am deeply thankful. What a sight to behold his images of such magnificent places! A standard for all photographers to emulate, although few will reach such lofty heights."

  "Michael's photostream is just remarkable. His use of light and shadow combine into a stunning image each and every time. When I'm in need of inspiration, want to be awed, or just want to jump into the wilderness from my computer - I find myself drifting here every time."
