  "I like to ride merry-go-rounds with Mercy and take hot air balloon rides with her across the Arctic ice cap in search of polar bears. She is beautiful beyond measure, and can whip up a batch of butterscotch brownies in a flash. Her photographs line the inside of my head, and at night I dream about being a ball-jointed doll posing for her pleasure."

  "I have long proclaimed my nearly fanatical (and only because I have no idea where she lives, not yet criminal) obsession with Mercy. Its genesis is in her pictures. They are unbelieveable. I also just get the impression that she is really really nice."

  "Mercy is awesome.
  
  That's pretty much all I can say. I mean, she's lovely, funny, intelligent and is a great teacher. I learned all about the armpit Polaroid developing from her and boy has that come in handy!
  
  So, like I said -- she's just awesome."

  "Defitnitely one of the best doll photographers around. And by her comments she seems to be very humble about it. Sweet, helpful, and an amazing photographer!"

  "Mercy's work with her dolls is nothing short of amazing. Her doll photos have a lifelike quality about them that ends up being inspiring, and wonderful to view. She has a definite rapport with a polaroid as well, producing images that are simply stunning in their dreamlike, lo-fi glory. I always enjoy looking at her photostream, for I know that I'll always find something that I really like."

  "Mercy plays with dolls. Anatomically correct dolls. Well, maybe a little LARGER than life in certain anatomical areas, WINK WINK.

  "☻M€rcỲ☺ has completely changed - no, formed - my opinion of "doll photos," and greatly influenced my outlook concerning style and theme as it relates to photography in general; I greatly anticipate her future endeavors.
  
  What really strikes me, though, is the honesty and thoughtfulness she exhibits when commenting on other people's shots. She is truly one of flickr's greatest, and I'm honored to have her as a contact."

  "She's a woman with a big heart and an eye for infinite doll photography variability. She takes the inanimate mimicry of humankind and makes it somehow fascinating."

  cyanatic says:

  "☻M€rcỲ☺'s approach to photography is akin to the stance taken by Layard, the 19th century archaeologist who, faced with the bleak Abyssinian mounds fruitlessly gone over by Botta decades before him, gazed upon the rubble and said, "Dig here". She has plumbed the mannequinesque depths of digital imagery and brought forth treasures of dolldom that rival the unburying of Sargon's palace. I haven't the foggiest notion of what that means, but if I merely stated that, "She seems a decent sort of gal" it wouldn't fill up nearly enough space."

  "Mercy is solely responsible for my latest addiction to ABJDs. She's my friggin hero! I think I'm in love!
  
  She's REALLY good at what she does. She makes her dolls come to life, and she sees the most remarkable things in the seemingly mundane. But yeah, everyone does that. The thing about Mercy is, she's able to share that with the rest of us through her photography.
  
  Have I mentioned that I think I'm in love?"

  "Mercy's ability to bend light with her own will is nothing shot of amazing, she's a babe and and we are co-moderating the best group in the world. What more to ask?"

  "Sometimes on Flickr someone can change your mind about something. And ☻M€rcỲ☺ has made the photography of dolls actually rather interesting. She does moody b&w portraits too."

  "An amazing talent! Mercy creates, through her photographs, a world where dolls come to life. She captures so much emotion and invokes such fantastic moods that sometimes you forget that what you're looking at is not a living thing!"

  "Her photos will make you beg for more not less Mercy! The dolls look so real I could bring them home to mom.... but I would rather bring Mercy.
  
  Her attention to detail and lighting is what makes her photos a true spectacle to be had by all.
  
  Go ahead...Beg for more..I dare you!"

  "Her pictures of dolls look like pictures of people - this is how it should be; what creeps me out though is when her shots of people look like shots of dolls...reality starts to fray, and i found myself in tesco earlier having to check the elbows of my fellow shoppers to make sure they weren't ball jointed mannequins...
  
  Cheers mercy - you've made me mentally iller."

  "mercy and i have put aside our differences and come together to form one of the great moderating teams of our time in First Comment. Although i am no longer a member of that group because she had me banned, i will always remember that amazing time of my life"

  "at first, I thought Mercy was a figment of my imagination...all i would see from her stream would be dolls.
  and to tell the truth, some of the dolls really fooled me sometimes...
  
  I think Mercy is hilarious...and i won't get on her bad side because I've seen her lash out before and it's not a pretty sight!
  
  she's an amazing gal!"

  "This woman takes the MOST amazing photos of dolls EVER.
  
  When I look at the pornographic photos (you likely can't see them, you dweeb, because you're not her "friend" as I am) I *wank* and think that I wish I were a doll. Most importantly, were I a doll, I would commission Mercy to take my photos. I'd pay her FINE HIGH dollars to do so.
  
  She's also beautiful, although I've never seen her human face. I am sure that she is a beautiful woman."

  "Mercy and me have been contacts for quite a while, it all started with a disagreement about the moon.....and then something to do with cats...the rest is history.
  Her photos of her dolls are the best you'll see on flickr, and now she's broadening her horizons, well, we'd all better watch out....
  You're an ace contact to have Mercy, great vision, great talent and a really lovely person."
