Digital was cute, and very convenient, but not very useful to me. I'm glad I learned about it, but I've mostly gone back to film, which is filling up my fridge. Can you pick up some takeaway on your way over? Thanks.

curlybirdie says:

"Gates' photos are absolutely amazing. The more I look at them the luckier I feel. What a pleasure it is to know someone like him, and his talent is the icing on the cake."

shadows of hyperion says:

"Gates has been a great inspiration to me over this past year as I followed his 365 project. There is a free spirit in his work that is a refreshing experience. Gates has this amazing eye. I think he has a 6th sense for composition. And he's the only person I know on Flickr with a block in his profile for "baby, baby.""

Miss Hag says:

"One of the first times I met misterg8s, we were standing in the stairwell of our college dormitory and he said, "Hey, I want to shoot you sometime."

I'm so glad he didn't mean with a gun.

Since then, our photographic relationship has shown me a me I didn't know existed and I will always be eternally grateful. (Though I'm convinced it's still mostly his ability making me look good.)

I find it hard to put in words just how talented he is. You can see for yourself. Go. Do that now."

Evil Machinery says:

"I wrote this to him: "Dude, you just have this way...a way with IT and IT's always so On." And I meant it. Gates inspires me with his photos...and not even photos to me but the perfect idiosyncrasies of life, the world we live in."
