Nick Today's photostream |

Me In a Nutshell:
Coffee is my water, cameras are my addiction, i buy blank paper and Zebra pens, and when i blink it sounds like a camera shutter.
I'm from tiny Rhode Island, but I'm living in Bergen, Norway right now.
I like photography, but I majored in Film.
Originally, I made this account to do the 365 Days project. I liked the project because I can guarantee you that after you've taken 365 pictures of the same thing you'll be a much better photographer than when you started.
Now I'm done. it only took 580 Days. It feels good to have seen it through though. Maybe I'll make a book out of it or something.
Flickr has become something of a photography school for me. Sometimes i think i learn more here than i do in college.
Don't send me pictures of spiffy old cameras please. If you do, I'll promptly hop on ebay and buy one for myself.
The people I've met here are darned cool and have a way of extending my perspective well beyond the borders of my home in the smallest state in the USA. You guys are fantastic. :)
I see life as a story that doesn't make much sense. Maybe that's why I might come across as pretty random.
Anything else? Just talk to me.

"I totally have a crush on Nick's photography.
Each of his photographs are unique and have thought put into them -doesn't get any better than that!
He is definitely the reason why I started my 365 Project. He always made the project look so fun and exciting!
Nick has got one great personality. He is so funny and interesting. I enjoy talking to him very much."20th October, 2008

his stream is addicting- it's so incredible.
he posseses an unbelievable amount of talent and has a very artistic eye. his 365 was purely wonderful. it had such originality and personality!

"Nick is just awesome.
He is inspiring, encouraging, and always posting work that makes me want to take more photos. He is a hero at 365, and someday I will conquer the same feat- hopefully! Anyways, he's just an awesome guy, and he takes amazing pictures. Flickr wouldn't be the same without him."24th August, 2008

[sry for the confusion] says:
"for me, nick today is more like "nick everyday" because every single day i look at his photo stream. and everyday one of two things happens: 1] i am dumbfounded by how brilliantly creative he is, or, 2] i am sorely distressed because there isnt a new photo up. either way, nick is an amazing guy, and like everyone else in the entire world has already said as well, he has inspired me so so so much. today he finished his 365 project, and i couldnt have more mixed feelings. good luck in norway nick :]"

"I dont know why i was so late to write him a testiminoal but i decided to write something because your works are totally deserve it.
first of all im really filled with admiration for his 365 days Project. (maybe its because i did start it but couldnt continued just like most of people) its really diffucult to show different emotions in different photos everyday. but he does it with a super way. keep going and make our day bright:)"23rd June, 2008

"What can I say about Nick Today? Nick Counts is an incredible man (wow, no longer an adolescent) who is hnest and creative with his photography. He has this desired power of adding magic to the simplest aspects of life (and one day I will steal his magical formula and be as popular as he is on flickr-haha, yeah right). He takes pride in his pictures as he should. His 365 project is simply beautiful and has me coming back for more :)"

sasha (www.birdsflyphotography.com) says:
"To the 2008-2009 Northwestern University Board of Admissions,
I whole-heartedly recommend Nicholas Counts as a candidate for enrollment without the slightest hesitation. Nick has many diverse talents, to describe all of which would be impossible in the allotted space and time, so I have chosen those that I feel most highlight how he would contribute to your esteemed institution. To begin with, Nick has a brilliantly innovative mind. He is always ready to tackle a challenging situation, and he is perpetually devising creative and thought-provoking ideas of his own. Secondly, his exploration and execution of these ideas are always "outside-the-box," original, and flawlessly effective in communicating to others. The point I want to emphasize most, however, is that in addition to his astounding intellect and refreshing originality, Mr. Counts possesses an inspiring optimism and passion for life and the people he meets along the way which infects everyone who is lucky enough to cross his path. His commitment to generosity and living compassionately would be assets to any establishment of higher education. I therefore enthusiastically recommend Nick to the Board, and I sincerely hope you find him as rare and valuable a gem as I have.
Sincerely,
Alexandra Puchalla"31st May, 2008

"Nick never seems to run out of ideas, he always trying something new, a new technique or a new style. I come to his site when I need some inspiration. In addition, he always leaves really nice comments. I usually wait a few weeks, and then come back to his site to see what new things he has come up with, and I'm always amazed by the diversity of each picture. This was the first testimonial I have ever written for anybody, because i never felt the urge to write one until now. Nick, keep up the incredible work! :D"

"Nick is absolutely fantastic in a billion different ways. He's so creative and innovative -- the kind of amazing that makes you want to pick up a camera yourself and push your own artistic boundaries. His talent seems to have realms of it's own that grow at such a rapid speed, it's so amazing to watch him impress and awe his audience time and time again. I utterly adore him. Nick is an orchestra of talent that never fails to completely inspire."

"I just realized I HAVE to write a testimonial here.
Because, Nick, your style is so awesome. Your 365's are so fantastic, full of creativity and yet showing your life in such a great way. Not only that, but you also manage to snap some great portraits, plus your astonishing landscapes and nature shots. You have such an eye. AND you're an insanely nice guy, replying to every single comment you get is admirable Have a great life."28th March, 2008

"Nick Today is half the reason for my unhealthy addiction to flickr, his pictures keep me wanting more. He's got so much talent, not too mention a kickkkkkasssss personality for sure. If he didn't live miles & miles away I would probablly bug him constantly to go on photo extravaganza adventures with me and unhesitantly accept his proposal for marriage. oh also he's got a stellllllar taste in music & completes me musically. basically he's the perfect human being with the perfect hamster end of story."

What a personality you have! You never get tired to learn more. Film and digital, you show your perfect talent. I know you really care and try your best on each photograph and it makes us addict to your stream.
You're also finding the perfect balance-contrast on your photos. I have to say that you're really attentive.
I'll always be around to follow your work, keep on. :]"24th January, 2008

"Nick takes interesting and creative photos. He's not afraid to take on a challenge and get unique and beautiful shots. I think it's a treat to see his photos in my contacts recently added photos. He's very good about replying to questions asked on his pictures, or even just comments made, it's really nice to have such personalized gratitude shown. He is very good at photoshopping, some people don't use it to their advantage, when Nick uses it, he uses it right =D. Nick has a beautiful photostream!"
