  "What a gift I found when I stumbled across Maggie's images...
  
  to be able to share a creative journey with an exceptionally talented soul has been one of my life long dreams...
  
  Flickr has allowed me not only to have fulfill that dream by finding artists like Maggie but is continuing to help me to see and experience potentials way beyond any of my past creative dreams...
  
  friendship, caring, love, companionship, are very important attributes and Maggie has all of these well polished and sparkling in each of her images...
  
  but she then also has talent that raises you to new levels that ascend to scales of beauty and light that help transport you to other potentialities and places of creative excellence...
  
  thank you Maggie for all of this...
  the only word to express this is sublime..."

  "Maggie''s work seems both whimsical yet ever thoughtful and deliberate. Her work seems to be the result of an uncanny ability to be at just the right spot for just the perfect moment, camera in hand, ready to freeze it in time with her photographs.
  
  I always look forward to seeing what it is she will help us see and reflect on next. Thank you, Maggie."

  "maggie's images are like visual poetry, or say haiku,
  reduced to pure essence
  'n enriched with words from her soul.
  
  seeing her gems is like
  an act of meditation,
  'n a journey to self-discovery.
  
  thank you, maggie, for inspiring photostream,
  helping revive simple pleasures of life.
  regards."

  "View a talented photographer, and you admire their style. Look at beautiful subjects and you enjoy the image-but the "craft" becomes "art" when style and subject are forgotten. View one of Maggie's sets on "slideshow" and you're transported--
  
  Like when the lights go up in a movie theater, and you wake up back in your "real" world. It's the eloquence of elegance, a transcendent experience through the eyes and mind of a gifted storyteller. I look through these images, and I soon forget about admiring Maggie's style, and get lost in the journey.
  
  There are some amazing photographers on flickr. I view their photos and think how talented, how expressive they are. Viewing "Maggie's World", I forget that there's another photographer standing between me and this world at all."

  "Maggie's name is on of the most appropriate on Flickr. She really does show us her world...the visual world and the poetic world of her mind. She melds the two with a grace and beauty that is simply powerful. I feel so lucky to have found her stream. Each day brings something new...a new idea, a different way of looking at the world. And of course, just being able to see photos of everyday life in China is special.
  Thanks, Maggie. Your work is appreciated.
  (I still think you've got a book here.)"

  "I've been visiting Maggie's World for several years now. Her view of the world is so beautiful and clean. She finds beauty where others find dirt. She finds dignity where others find poverty. I'm so happy to see that so many other visitors have found her over the years. She's bringing a lot of joy to the world."

  "This photostream is * FOOD FOR YOUR SOUL* .
  These photos leave me speechless sometimes, because I am touched by the symbolism, the balance between pictures and poems and the intelligence behind.
  I am sure, Maggie, you express yourself in this stream and you do this in a very ARTistic way.
  You also seem to be very talented in street-portraits, you smile to the world and the world smiles to you. I feel through your photos, that you are an open-minded and tolerant person .
  One of my favourite photographers here on flickr.
  You are so far away, but a photowalk together with you, that would be nice..-a dream....who knows........"

  "I am always excited when I see there is something new posted in her photostream. So many of them are gems for the eye, the mind, or the soul. Great photos are a joy, but great photos with inspiring words can affect my attitude, how I am in the world. I believe the photos I see here have a ripple effect on what I am able to give. That is quite a gift. Thank you."

  "To know Maggie's photos is to know Maggie. She is a person of incredible sensitivity to her environment and the people around her. She shows us the stuff of her everyday life and makes it profound. She honors other humans; she finds spirituality and meaning in the tiniest details, then with skill and knowing, tells us her stories through her photography. For those of us who will never travel to China, Maggie's World is the next best thing."
