  "I just love seeing a new picture from "manyfires" popping up in my contacts. Her creativity never ceases to amaze and amuse and please. The dream-like quality of her photos is something very special and always takes me to another, more beautiful place away from my mundane life.
  And what the hell, I'll even admit to a small cyber-crush as long as you promise not to tell anyone else :) :P"

  "I've been going through a bit of a photography depression so I haven't been shooting anything nor having the ambition to do so. My Holga lies unused collecting dust on the shelf and the digital is only pulled out when someone practically pulls me out of the house. Even so, the pictures sit on my hard drive waiting for a good time to be worked on...
  As a result I've been out of Flickr for a while, haven't even renewed my account!
  But the other day a friend of mine told me to upload and I did. And in the process I stumbled upon your photostream(once again) and lo and behold I am inspired!
  Going trough your photostream and reading the captions for the pictures really make me want to get out there and shoot a pinhole for about 10 minutes, then waiting for a damn week for the negatives to show up! Or even just loading up my Holga with a color film and actually just taking it out with me instead having it sitting sadly in my shelf!
  
  What I needed, I think.
  What I needed was to see a drop of soulful images in a sea of emptiness."

  "I am addicted to Danielle's stream. I don't always comment, but I always, *always* look. Her eye, unique and inventive, leaves us with captivating images and inspiration for us to do more, do better, and push our boundaries. Frequently you're left wondering just how the hell she *thought* of taking such a shot. And I think that's pretty magic. This photostream is amazing, creative, different, and exhibits a fabulous talent. Thank you for sharing with us all!"

  "Danielle creates photos that just stick with you. That is why I tell other photographer friends to check out her work and to see a style that is all her own. Her work is very inspirational to me and I am glad she is a friend."

  "I met Danielle at my first ever Flickr meetup. She left an impression. Almost 2 years later, her photostream is still one of a handful I check out regularly to be inspired and amazed by. Like a great photographer, she strives to hone her craft and has an unrelenting commitment to it. Whether working with film, digital, Holga, or pinhole, she works magic with them all. I can't explain where Danielle's creativity comes from, but I think the truth lies somewhere in her unusually long toes. Now, I'm not saying Danielle's an alien, but I am saying that crop circles were seen in Iowa around the time of her conception : ) But whatever her parentage, she's an extremely talented photographer whose work I enjoy to no end. Cheers, Danielle!"

  "ManyFires creates some of the most beautiful pinhole photographs I have ever encountered, and I look to her work for inspiration in my own photography. Her use of color, particularly with waterfalls and lushly green scenes, has influenced me to return to shooting at least some color with my medium and large format pinhole cameras. She captures a kind of hidden essence in a scene, revealed through the pinhole, with softness, brilliance, and depth of expression. I feel privileged to know her on flickr."

  "Danielle's stuff is awesome...her tales are amazing, and she's named a shot or two after Modest mouse lyrics...so that to is...amazing. If you need a reason to see why the pacific NW is a hot bed of incredible photographers....you need not look any more for a shining example."

  "I have always admired people who think deeply, and love nature. Danielle puts these together in her creatively inspirational photographs. I feel elevated after seeing and reading her work and am left feeling better than I did before visiting her photo stream."

  "I can always spot her photos in my contacts. Manyfires has a unique style, and it's very noticeable. She is also one of those flickr members that takes the time to tell you exactly what it is that she likes about your images... Beyond that, you can really feel the passion that she has for photography by just looking at the images she posts. I really like how she includes a piece of herself with each posting description. I give Manyfires the credit for inspiring me to also take the time to describe my images better."

  "I don't personally know Danielle yet. I can tell you with confidence that she uses her heart to create photos as much, if not more then her camera or eyes. I feel that she has a very beautiful outlook on the world she sees. Thanks for sharing your visions with all of us."

  "Dani's one of those people you can't forget, for a multitude of reasons. Her brilliant eyes, her glowing hair, her mona lisa smiles, her conversation, her laugh, her intellect, her incredible imagination, and her photos. Her photos, in fact, seem to sum up all these wonderful features into one neat little bundle, showing a window to her soul and a glimpse of another world. She has an eye that is so unique and uncompromising, you can't help but stop and consider. We've known each other for awhile now, but every time I see a new photo, I see a new part of her. She's a fantastic friend, and I look forward to many more hikes with her, and more pictures of the world through her lens."

  "Danielle, you possess an amazing vision of the world around you, and an even better ability to translate that into remarkable photographs. You have the rare gift to be able to allow us, through the pictures you take, to grasp the meaning of what you saw. I have garnered much inspiration from your photostream, as I am sure have many others. Your photographs are fun and quirky, captivating and beautiful; they are, in other words, wonderful reflections of yourself. I count myself very fortunate to have gotten to know you as both a photographer and a friend. Thanks for sharing."
