  "If Maproom Systems isn't your friend, I feel sorry for you. That means you spend at least part of every day examining the Maproom-shaped hole in your psyche and crying, because you have no idea what would fit there."

  "After viewing the Maproom Systems photostream, you might feel you've just watched a David Lynch film, but with more hopefulness. It has a darkside, but much like the darkness in a tunnel, you know there's a light at the other end. His stories are engaging, but don't expect them to be mudane. Indeed, things are rarely what they seem here, or are they exactly what they seem? That's the enjoyment. You have to look, you have to read, you can't assume. One of the most fascinating photostreams on all of Flickr. What's best of all, it tastes like chicken."

  ""Maproom Systems" is some sort of fish/optician/poet from Ypsilanti, who sheds enigmatic vignietted photographs like so many silvery scales. His pictures are mysteriously banal and magically droll, the dude has skills, see for yourself..."

  "Maproom Systems is the Michigan version of R.E.M., creating compellingly quirky and incisive documents of everything all at once, filing away an encyclopedic compendium of human quirkiness for the Homo Sapiens Memorial Map Library to be shot into space for all posterity to know how strange and wonderful we were. Watching him do his art has plenty of those Oh Wow epiphanies that leave you in awe of genius - and he's funny! I'm glad I'm in the same universe as this guy."

  "i think i see long corridors in some old building. doors on either sides of the corridors. open one of the doors and there are filing cabinets. hundreds of them. open one drawer of a cabinet and there are filing cards. hundreds, thousands of them. containing information about history, stories, descriptions of places and people. open another drawer and there are pictures. old pictures. recent pictures. photographs and clippings from newspapers. of unknown people. dead people. murdered people. forgotten people.
  
  open another door down the corridor. there's light seeping in through a crack in the curtains. when our eyes have adjusted to what little light is in the room we slowly begin to see the contours of boxes. hundreds of wooden boxes. covered in dust. not opened yet.
  
  at the end of the corridor we open another door. it's a laboratory. stuffed with ideas in bottles. something cooking in a large glass bowl. smoke coming from the bowl. i THINK we have just entered the heart of maproom systems. the inside of brett schutzman's head."
