"He has the "eye" that most of us don't. We can take a picture but Mike can produce art! He can make simple lines or shadows into works of art. His photographs are less but more.
A true artist with great eyes for details, that's Mike D.!
Thank you for sharing your excellent work!

Haiku - You I Am
‘You and I on call’
Offers open horizons, -
Useless limits fall...
I, you, osmosis
At last discover, reaching
Metamorph-oasis...
by Jonathan Robin
This is the best way to reflect Mr Mike's visual, creative and artistic impact upon my life. I was surfing one night and stumbled upon his stream and he has for me opened up a whole new world captured in such amazing perspective and vivid colours,as seen through his eyes. The whole world of Haiku, quotes and prose have suddenly re-emerged and reflect perfectly his beautiful take on life. You are the God of Haiku Mr Mike and your photography is just pure awesome! You are pure inspiration! Thank you for your true soul-ship -- for you I am ! xxx"13th January, 2007

"I've never been to NYC and I've never met Mike (Michelangelo) face to face... But that really doesn't matter as you will see for yourself when you view his photostream. Mike is so talented and full of warmth and he manages to brighten up my day, no matter what, everytime I visit his stream. His images are so full of Hope and Happiness as well as the occasional 'sadness' but in such a beautiful way that makes me want to come back for more.
I have always dream't of visiting NYC too and through Mike that dream has come true... I can fly there any time I want to, just by the click of a button!!
Thank You Mike :)"28th June, 2006
