  "Duncan is one of the most creative minds I have met in a long time, extremely honest with his lenses and so impressive. I is a great pleasure to look at his work, and a honour to “know” him. A great inspiration.""

  "Why it has taken me this long to write a testimonial for Duncan is beyond me. Not only is he one of the best photographers I've come across on Flickr, he is one of the best people I've ever met. He has taken me to several places in his neck of the woods to go shooting and even some places in my neck of the woods.
  
  He has an artists soul and always seems to find the scene within a scene. For me, Duncan is the quintessential southern photographer...capturing not only the natural beauty of the South, but the essence of what it means to live here.
  
  Thanks for being a guide, a friend and an inspiration."

  "The thing you notice right away with Duncan's (Nailbender) photostream is the quality of his art. The rich tones and the details sets it apart from all the rest.
  I love his unique perspective on his subjects, and he is a true nature
  photographer!
  I look forward to each and every post with great anticipation!
  Just watching his photostream has taught me to take more time,
  look around, see it all, not to rush around so much!
  Thanks Duncan and thanks for sharing your art with us all.
  I am proud your from Alabama and to call you friend!"

  Steven Ford / snowbasinbumps says:

  "Without flattery, Duncan reminds me of Elliot Porter, and Ernst Haas. Great photographers of nature, who always had the spotlight on nature and the beauty of the world around us, rather than on techniques, or glitzy showing of the photographer. His shots are really sterling quality, that comes from solid technique, through knowledge, and mostly a real love of the world around him. We can all learn here."

  "I'm not sure how I ran across Duncan's fotostream, but once I did, I was hooked!
  His eye for beauty, and his ability to transfer that vision into a photograph, is humbling, to say the least!
  
  His works convey great mood and emotion, and never fail to delight me!
  
  Sit down with Duncan's photostream and get ready for a real treat! Just be prepared to be here for a while...."

  "I've known NailBender for a good while. I just found him today on the site. His photography speaks for itself. But, his carpenter skills are amazing. An amazing furniture maker. But, the best thing about the guy is just him. He is also a good person. Glad I found you DMac. T"

  "Duncan (nailbender)'s photos range from exciting to inspiring to "hold me up, I think I'm gonna faint". I'm amazed at the range and breadth of his subject matter. He finds beauty both in the usual and in ususual places, which is one of my goals, as well. His fascination with contrast and light are a signature of his. His final images can be anywhere from pristine and unretouched to "played with" in the most creative ways."

  "Duncan's images are simply breathtaking. He seems to see the bigger picture or the beauty in the smallest part of it. He sees the picture that so many of us would miss. I find his images very influential and have started to think of him as my voiceless sensei from afar.
  
  We are indeed very lucky that he chooses to share his captures of the world with us, take a leisurely stroll through his photostream, you will not be dissapointed."
