  "As a person who photographs NYC and it's inhabitants on my own, I must admit that Lorenzo's travels through the city is quite impressive. Day or night, he gets great captures. A talent on the precipice of greatness, it is always a treat to see what is next from this prolific artist."

  "Mr Lorenzodom brings creativity to new heights. I am grateful to him because he inspires me to be better. In as much as great photographers tell stories with there images Lorenzodom also tells great stories with his words. I have taken the time to read them and found my self enthralled and inspired"

  "A great photographer and without a shadow of doubt in attitudes wonderful person. In this crazy world, we ended up making the victims of time and in most cases forget to give a good day, to tell you, to give a hug or even to congratulate someone for some good done. That is that people who have such attitudes by custom, deserve to be recognized as examples to any society truly worthy.
  A strong hug my friend

  Stephen B Whatley says:

  "Lorenzo is a photographer of flair, dynamism and style; and through his photostream, a vivid sense of life in the city - specifically New York- is displayed, through his dazzling pictures that capture real movement: a neon-lit buzz.
  It is obvious that he is a professional and is already making his mark with his work so suited to advertising. Alongside all the sophisitication of his captures is the warmth of humanity - through his shots of people partying, the charm of his clever rendering of early childhood photographs; but no more so than through the vibrant smile of the man behind the camera : Lorenzo!
  - Sincerely, Stephen B Whatley, Artist , London, UK."

  "It didn't surprise me when I first met Lorenzo that he was the father of two beautiful boys. The second glimpse into the innocent, spontaneous world given to a person when they become a parent is etched within each frame he snaps.
  
  The curiosity of Lorenzo, his unashamed lust for life and care not attitude of his work reminds me of looking at something for the first time. His audience becomes the child, unable to safely reference images yet comforted by the heart that resonates through each frame."

  Michael - B says:

  "He never ceases to amaze me. One of his latest creations is where he puts the camera on the ground, obviously, and braves traffic and other people that are around, even looking at him and his camera. I love this kind of photography and I wish I was brave enough to even attempt half as much as he does. His latest series of "vantage points" is supreme. You haven't seen it yet? Then go look at his photo stream and search for "vantage points". You will have a great time, I guarantee it."

  "From his photos of life in New York to the portraits of children and others, Lorenzo's images are filled with vibrant energy that fills the picture frame. His subjects seem familiar and intimate... you can feel the connection he has with them. His love for photography is quite apparent and the excitement is infectious... that is why I am always back for more!"

  Shutterhack says:

  "Do you know when we become sensitive to what is happening to us? As soon as we begin to be aware of our thoughts, of our feelings, of our body, our sensations – this energy is beginning to work in us.
  
  Without this... "sensitive energy" we are nothing but machines. Up to that point there is nothing but mechanicalness, but as soon as sensitive energy enters, the possibility of separating from our own automatism begins. Pain and pleasure come from sensitivity. Without this sensitivity a photographer will not be able to recognise let alone to photograph the instance that he wish to capature, the moments in time that is capable to give the desired impact.
  
  I'm glad to say that this so called SENSITIVITY is clearly apparent in Lorenzo's works and it has been a pleasing experience just to describe it in this modest testimonial from me. Thank you."

  "La sensibilità e la poesia si trasmettono attraverso le sue fotografie che suscitano sempre interesse, emozione e tanta positività. Non lo conosco di persona ma la sue gentilezza traspare attraverso la sua passione per la fotografia e per le parole che accompagnano i suoi commentari. E' bello condividere con lui le sue emozioni e viverle un po' tutti insieme. un bacio per te Lorenzo."

  "≈ Lorenzo was one of my very first flickr contacts. He helped me understand how flickr works. Living way out West in New Mexico I am far from the driving power of NYC. When I want to stick my toe into that
  wildness, I click on Lorenzo's stream. His love of the city & her people is clear. His work is full of passion...movement...kindness & heart. ≈

  "Want to experience 21st. century New York City? Want to feel the constant, whirling motion, on the sidewalks and under the ground? Want to see the neon Zanzibar of the modern world, want to be one who receives a promise from its technicolor night, brighter than the day? Want to experience the hugeness, the generosity, the unique American phenomenon that is New York? You can! See it through the eyes of Lorenzodom, a man who has lived in the city for 15 years, a man who became a serious photographer only three years ago, yet has become the King Of New York, with thousands of photos you can see on Flickr and his own websites.New York, night, color! No one has done it better! Forget the movies and television, tune into Lorenzovision, and see what happens! His visions will inspire you in your art , your creativity, can there be a greater testimonial?"

  "EvolutioN. that's what I see in lorenzo's photos. there is always a story that evolves in the greater story of his life. I've never been to NY, but looking at his pictures I feel like I'm riding around with him all day! Multiple shots of the same subject allow us to read not only the single picture, but the story that comes with it even if it is the simple ride home in the metro or a friendly photo shoot with a shy friend. I love this stream because above all there is someone on the other end that loves it more than me and this shows in every click! It's all so real."

  "With his heart and eyes directly connected, lorenzo has a gift of noting the details with the same passion and fire that he brings to every experience. His ability to balance the creative and analytical seems to be key in spotting the extraordinary in the everyday. The magic comes in the way he can inspire us to do the same -- taste textures, hide in shadows, feel a thousand and one shades of blue."

  Jim Van Meter says:

  "When I first saw Lorenzo’s on Flickr I was immediately struck with his New York City street photographs, I had never seen any other photographer who was able to capture the essence of NYC street life in such a unique and distinctive style. At that time, I had several questions about his work which he gratefully answered along with an invitation to meet with him in New York. Unfortunately this never came to fruition and I have always regretted not taking the opportunity to meet with him in person, perhaps to learn a little of his camera magic. However in many of my conversations on great photographers, I frequently mention Lorenzo’s work and prided myself for my early stage recognition of his talent. Lorenzo has been able to capture moments in time which allow the viewer to study relationships which can not be observed in the real-time dynamics of life. Even more intriguing are Lorenzo’s sequential photographs, each one remarkable in itself, but viewed together are nothing less that a visual urban poem. It has been my pleasure to watch Lorenzo’s rapid growth as a leading photographer of our time."

  pijus says:

  "Hay muy pocas cosas que decir de Lorenzo que no se hayan dicho ya. No hace falta entender de fotografía ni ser un experto en temas formales de técnica, luz o composición para quedarte sin palabras delante de su obra. Y eso, probablemente, es lo mejor. Sus fotografías llegan a todo el mundo, independientemente de la edad, religión, nacionalidad o estatus social.
  Lorenzo adora Nueva York y eso se nota. Retrata como nadie su ciudad, sus gentes, sus colores, sus sentimientos y, en general, su atmósfera. En realidad, todo se resume en la esencia; como fotógrafo, no reproduce simplemente lo que tiene delante, sino que es capaz de capturar su esencia, su espíritu. Y eso, que él consigue en cada foto de manera natural, es algo realmente muy difícil de alcanzar.
  Lorenzo ha sido una fuente de inspiración continua desde que lo encontré en flickr y espero que lo siga siendo durante mucho tiempo. A través de sus fotos, aprendí a mirar la realidad que tenia delante de una forma diferente...y siempre le estaré agradecida por ello.
  El hecho de poder tener algunas de sus maravillosas fotografías recopiladas en un libro es, no solamente una satisfacción para el propio autor, sino un regalo inmenso para todos aquellos que disfrutan con el arte que te penetra por los sentidos, se arrastra por debajo de tu piel y te hace viajar a otros mundos de un modo tan real que casi sientes que estás ahí!
  Por todo eso.... God Save Lorenzo!"

  "I live in New York. I've lived here for 17 years. But looking at Lorenzo's images have made me see this city in ways I never have... The tiniest details and quickest motions, which normally go by unnoticed, are expertly captured by Lorenzo's lens. So now I feel like there are two New Yorks: the one I see everyday, and the one Lorenzo shows to me."

  Sua fotografia é movimento, emoção, um olhar atento, apurado e artístico do mundo que nos cerca, por onde transitam cores, formas, impressões e muita paixão.
  É um prazer ímpar poder admirar sua obra e seu belíssimo trabalho.
  Sucesso querido e parabéns a todos que compartilham da grande experiência de acompanhá-lo.

  "I discovered Lorenzo's Flickr site a couple of years ago. Besides the fact that I love the name Lorenzo, I was fascinated with his use of line and color, motion and point of view. Every trip to his site was like a mini-vacation to New York City. His cut-outs are the fun stuff, but what impressed me the most was Lorenzo's 25 Lessons. I could relate so much to what he expressed so well with his vision and verbage. I encouraged him to seek a publisher with his work. He did and here it is!
  Rock on, Lorenzo!! - The Capt. aka Julie Falk"

  Alice's Furrows says:

  "The first word for Lorenzo’s work is PASSION another is EFFORT and the last is VISION. These three signposts to communicating with images are reflected everywhere in his images and his words. For Lorenzo there is meaning and the revelation of myth in the smallest vignette. Each image or series of images are a revelatory story. But more than that, Lorenzo wants to give…give from the life he reveals from the center of his passion, the fruit of his effort, the broadness of his vision. His intent, as with all real artists, is to share the life that it is his pleasure to experience - for truly, the creation of art is a rare pleasure as is this lovely book of life lessons for the artist or for any wanderer on this planet to enjoy."

  "Lorenzo lives his life through the viewfinder and in doing so captures the energy and vibrancy of life. He turns the mundane into the extraordinary and shows that true beauty can be found in the most unexpected of places."

  bluehour says:

  "Lorenzo catches the moments, motion, moods, shadows, glimmers of light and color the rest of us miss. Though his photographs are static, they create the illusion of movement, of one-frame videos that perfectly capture the heart and soul of New York and its people. I return to these photos again and again because they clearly express what words cannot."

  barryshap says:

  "Let's cut to the chase: Lorenzo is a master. His body of work is some of the very best on Flickr and may very well be some of the best being done in the medium today. His street/city work follows in the tradition of Paul Strand, Cartier-Bresson, Garry Winogrand and Larry Friedlander. But he doesn't simply imitate nor work within previously defined boundaries. Lorenzo's "street" approach goes beyond studied and safe, offering new vision, compelling the viewer to see what they have seen before differently... freshly. Lorenzo's work is not limited to a single genre. He transcends categorization. Take two of his recent images, for example: "Risk" and "Looking at the GW." Very different subjects-- one almost claustraphobic, the other limitless... one gritty and gray, the other rich in color and tone... one a social commentary, the other pure poetry. Great, great stuff. Inspired and inspiring.
  
  ... and educational: Lorenzo's "25 Lessons" should be a must for anyone who raises a camera to their eye. They are well thought out, deceptively simple--easy to grasp--and applicable to all phases of the photographic art, as seminal a piece of writing on the how of photography as Ansel's dissertation on the zone system. And make no mistake, they are not a basic primer for beginners. I found them to be reenergizing, perceptive and extremely useful.
  
  No one can create images as Lorenzo has without integrating the tenets of discerning vision and the richness of details of life without having an extraordinary level of passion. It is clear Lorenzo is passionate-- about his work... and about life. I have been touched by his story, his writings and by his work. I can't imagine anyone not being so."

  "Sometimes it isn't just the subject, it's the eye of the guy shooting it. Lorenzo has a great eye for street photography and he makes even the most mundane of scenes into something of beauty. He's one of my favorite photographers both on and off flickr and it never ceases to amaze me the way he presents the world for all to enjoy."

  "Lorenzo !!! I recently got introduced to him and had no hesitation in marking him as a contact. Luckily he obliged and added me as well. I don't think i can say anything which has not been said here before. Anything added by me would be like a drop in the ocean. This profile page of his speaks for itself about the pics which he takes. His work speaks for itself and understandingly people from outside flickr also acknowledge his work. I think he spends all his time (other than the time during which he sleeps) in taking pics which is evident from 18000+ pics. I didn't have the pleasure of seeing all these pics but what i have seen so far is enough to force me to write a testimonial for this great photographer.
  
  Keep up the good work."

  "Lorenzodom Not only has a passion for life but for photography and writing. He is a lingustical genius, a storyteller through words and pictures. He captures with his camera the world as he sees it, its feelings, love, beauty and all it that it has to offer. He's a loving father and I feel honoured to know and be able to share his world as he sees it. Love your work mate and love the linguistical delights you add with them. Your very talented. Thank you for sharing with myself an amature and all of us Lorenzodom. Its a pleasure to view the world as you see it."

Judging by the previous testimonials he received, it is highly evident that lorenzodom is an amazing photographer, with so much passion and attention to detail in his work. That's why he keeps 'em coming back for more! With his sheer determination to make the best out of every single picture, he manages to describe them in such a beautifully personal way, yet objective at the same time.

  "Ahh Lorenzo... a real sonovabitch..wait.. sorry I thought I was writing my own testimonial for a sec.
  An obvious immigrant of Russian circus midgets, Lorenzo has learned the value of taking things at face value. hence why he loves me so. His blatant gushing has left me little choice but to belch out a sour burp of lies through the ever so elloquent format of the written word. So here goes.
  
  Lorenzo has a unique eye for paying attention to smal details and the dance of light that bestows itself in many of his photographs. I really enjoy is sets of what normally would be the boring or mundane (see walking the lines) and bringing a great sense of life and point of interest through the photographic image. *hic* ugh.. there.... now I feel sick for havign to be so nice about someone..
  
  All kidding aside. Lorenzo has some truly fantastic images.......
  that.... and he has great taste in other peoples photography ;)"

  "Unfortunately Lorenso has never sung to me, nor even addressed me. However I have spent time looking into every crevice of this giant talent.
  His passion for great photography is enormous. I liken him to Art Kane (look him up) another New York art director of enormous talent who eventually always needed to be behind the lens instead of beside it, because he didn't have to "explain" the vision to capture it."

  "Qualche mese fa rimasi colpito da alcuni scatti "notturni" di Lorenzo e osservai a lungo il suo photostream, quasi sempre senza commentare, cercando di capire cosa mi attraesse nelle sue scene di vita urbana. Tecnica a parte (che non è in discussione), credo che il talento particolare di Lorenzo stia nella capacità di "scoprire un mondo": pochissimi sono in grado di farlo; ancora meno, dopo la "scoperta del mondo", riescono a far visitare lo stesso mondo senza banalizzarlo. Sicché, qui, la fotografia è arte."

  "I just finished several days of going through Lorenzo's 11,600+ photos on Flickr. He asked me to help him pick out his top 100. I managed to narrow it to 263, and I'm sure I missed some. :-) His photostream (photoflood?) is a love song to life, to his wife, to his boys, and to New York City. It's a master class in motion. Want pictures of deserted, forgotten graves in the back of a cemetary? Lorenzo's got 'em. Need pictures of people on a ferry at 3 a.m.? Lorenzo's got 'em. Need pictures of century-old water main caps? Lorenzo's got 'em. Need pictures of "tag art" covering blocks of property? Lorenzo's got 'em. Need pictures that show the humanity, the individuals caught up amidst the teeming millions of the big city? Lorenzo's got 'em. The depth and breadth of the city his photography captures is really amazing. Bandwidth restrictions don't allow me to select all my favorites among his photos, because they'd number literally in the thousands. Take it from someone who's looked at them ALL! Lorenzo is tops!"

I don’t live in New York, but I love this city and every day I come to see the photos of Lorenzo in order to return to visit New York. With its photos you can smell the city, you can walk by the city, you can listen to its sound, and you can see Nee York how no other photographer knows."

  "Lorenzo's photography conveys an absolutely brilliant passion for life in all of its flavors and colors. He has been one of the most inspiring photographers on flickr and his images stay in the mind's eye long after they are viewed. He is an artist who sees beauty in all forms, whether in spectacular cityscapes, portraits of people, experiments with light and movement, or images of everyday life and all of its pleasures. His images of his children at play are particularly striking to me. For anyone who has never had the opportunity to visit New York, viewing Lorenzo's photostream is the next best thing. He can do it all."

  "I have met many artists in my life, but barely a handfull come close to matching the energy and vision that Lorenzodom has for his craft. He is an absolutley wonderful photographer who's work I have come to love and admire.
  
  During the few months I have been on flickr, we have exchanged ideas about picture taking and the excitement of being able to capture the pure essence of a moment through the magic of photography. I had the brief but great pleasure of watching him take some street shots during my stay in NYC.
  
  I can't remember the last time I saw someone so enchanted and mesmerized by the world around them. It was such a wonderful treat to witness him in action - through his eyes, everything is beautiful, and through his camera he reaches in, connecting to the boy inside the man.
  
  Thank you Lorenzo for sharng your gifts and adventures with us :-D"

  "Lorenzo asked for help selecting 100 of his best photographs but I find the task overwhelming. Instead I will tell you about how I perceive this fine young photographer. Prolific with his camera and in love with life is the best way to describe him. I live in a rural community and I love the beauty and drama of big city life portrayed in his photographs. He shows me a world I would never see any other way and I relish the chance to taste the exotic flavors of the big city. When I try to recall a specific image from his photo stream I find one series comes to mind immediately. It involved a bill board and a giant pair of jeans. This was months ago but it still stays in my mind as does the one with the giant hand. Lorenzo has an eye for the dramatic, the unusual but also takes the time to capture the mundane and routine and share it with those of us who do not share the big city experience. Thank you sir, I tip my hat to you and wish great success."

  "Unlike many photographers, Lorenzo understands that you have to take pictures to become a better photographer. You would think more photographers would get this basic truth, but they don't. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice. So Lorenzo is constantly shooting and constantly becoming a better shooter. As Thoreau observed, many lead lives of quiet desperation. Lorenzo lives in a colorful, high-energy city and he takes pictures that capture that intensity. We should all have his focus – pun intended."

  "looking for visually eloquent brilliance? lorenzo's flickr spot is where it is found. his colorful portraits of new york society engage, encourage, and inspire, as well as carry the ability to saturate your conscience with the rawness of human emotion. that may sound like an over-the-top piece of praise, but trust me, there isn't anything over-the-top in lorenzodom."

  "Each day of my life is made a lot happier when i know i can log on to the site and see some new lorenzo photos. He is masterful with the camera and he has managed to create the spectacular out of the mundane. He obviously loves life and loves NY and NJ. You know when people ask you to name six people you would have round for dinner...lorenzo would be the first name i could think of! At a certain moment in time the whole world will become aware of Lorenzo and i for one can't wait for that to happen."

  "An interesting actor and director of the photo's world. Probably a master and a great component of "real fantasy". He's like an old friend."

  "It's often said that New York is one of the most photogenic cities in the world. It's true. Lorenzodom proves it to us practicaly every day. And NYC is only a small slice of the pie he serves. Thank you Lorenzodom! I adore your photos!"

  "I spent quite a bit of time in Lorenzo's "lonely people" section - he really captured some quite sad, lonely, quiet and dark moments. I think all of us have been there at some point. I think this is an area you should explore further... the seedier bars, the empty diners at 4am & the people all alone in the big city...
  
  You see a lot of things that other's don't but your photo's will give them that chance...
  
  Cheers, Billy Warhol ;))
  
  P.S. Your kind comments really made my day & I guess in a way made me feel a little less lonely* ;))"
