and when duty calls, I write medical software for Mass General Hospital in Boston.

"Is it time I leave my testimonial? :)
Well, people are always making jokes with Mike about macs, nikons, trips, etc. but the truth is that I didn't believe in friends on the net before I met Mike.
He's truly funny, kind and overall a great human being.
w00t w00t!"21st September, 2008

connerdowney says:
"Mike is a great photographer and a great friend. Everything he uploads is interesting, be it his travels, HDR's, macros, or even just funky stuff with his fisheye. He's been a big help to me in learning about my camera and even in buying it, and he's never too busy to help. Also, I love the pond thing that he always takes pictures of, and his backyard in vermont.
All in all, he's great."27th February, 2008

Lars Ivar says:
"Mike is the only flickr friend I have met so far. He is short, about half my size but has the same size feet as I do. Has roughly the same cheeky grin as I do and owns a green jacket.
Mike is my HDR teacher and I have learned a lot from watching his photos and talking with him using IM. He was also very helpful with my switch from the Nikon D5700 to a DSLR (D70) I bought from his colleague/friend. and It's not just me he helps. And that is probably why his aka. is MikEx.
If you go through Mikes photostream you'll see a lot of things, but here are some of the things I think he likes the most.
The pond outside a mall in Boston.
Flowers
BUGS!!!!
Stacks
HDRs
How cold/hot it is outside.
How much snow that has arrived.
His trips to other flickr friends.
Mike is not limited to only these things and I always like to browse through his photostream. Check it out. I think you would like it!"19th February, 2008

"Mike has a cool life. Going back and forth between a city and absolutely nothing-ness. Snow. Plentiful amounts of storage. A cool computer (which I will get one of my own)."

nikf says:
"Mike is Nikon's greatest fan. His photos rock, his HDR skills are awesome, and as a bonus, he's a Mac fn too! W00t, as we all like to say in unison."

Glenn Wolsey says:
"How to sum Mike up in one sentence..."Mike wouldn't stop taking photo's if we all paid him to".
Mike's awesome! Just like his photos :-D His fisheye lens rocks too!"6th November, 2006

Adam Mulligan says:
"Not only is Mike one of the best photographers you will meet, with an apparent keen interest in flowers and bugs; he also has an unimaginable amount of very cool Nikon equipment. Clearly a case of Nikon Asquistion Syndrome. Alongside this, Mike is quite possibly one of the friendliest and easy to get along with people I know."
