  "Using Hasselblad in the Tokyo subway is surely motionid's invention. Anyway, motionid's photograph is like a hollywood movie taken in Tokyo. Very big, very strong, and very cool. Each of his photographs are trailer of a great unknown movie.
  His Tokyo Ga is far cooler than actual Tokyo!"

  Manny Santiago says:

  "Motion ID is a Man of many talents, not least of which is Art Direction within the camera. While most wait for post-production, our man with the "blad" sees true to the heart of the image with homegrown grids and built in angles so his laser-vision has more time to capture the awe of the natural world and less time to sit behind the computer."

  "After mastering a camera there is still something more ... this certain touch of magic that cannot really be described. When it flows, the pictures become timeless and tell stories beyond words.
  
  Sean has it."

  "Pick a page, any page, in motionid's phtostream.Go there now and look at the amazing pictures you will find. Enjoy!
  
  [If you are still reading this, you don't do what you are told and are reading my blah blah blah about motionid's photos, In my opinion, you time is better spent immersing yourself in his photos.]
  
  motionid has mastered the art and science of shooting 'street'. He employs superb composition and camera-work to capture the essence and context of real life. Shot mostly in Tokyo, his images, of single-minded firemen, of crowded commuters, of bearded old men, of over-the-tp teenagers, bring you right onto the street and subways where you meet real Tokyo face-to-face.
  
  So, I will say it again. Go now. Look, learn and enjoy."
