  "i think nicolai is an inspirational artist for me. i had a picture of his works in my mind just before i started to shoot my first pinhole photo. first pictures didn't work that well, and i had no clue how i make picture that i had in my mind. when i found his works here, then the energy come to my hands whenever i started shooting. i don't want to copy your work nic, but i will keep them in my mind as my reference everytime i shoot. thank's nic!"

  "nick sees things the rest of us cannot -- or, rather, he makes them visible for us. almost always simultaneously beautiful and disturbing, his images stick in my mind for days, as if the shutter had been behind my eyes but for scenes that i never could have seen on my own.
  
  unquestionably one of the most inspirational photographers i've encountered -- and he writes the best comments ever"

  "Nicolai is a great asset to Flickr.. He's always willing to hand out useful information, provide a good write-up of technical information, and help us all along the way with our hobby.
  
  He also has an understanding of what's up, and can put himself into other peoples' shoes. He's also not afraid to argue back at the idiots of Flickr which is nice to see, since so many people let the elitist idiots on here run their mouths unchecked.
  
  A true photography warrior. =]"

  "Nic, he probably has every imaginable camera known to man and damn if he doesn't use that pinhole gadgetry to his advantage. I've never met this cat before, and anyone who curses more than I, is alright with me. His photography skills aren't bad on the eyes either. He makes magic with the flick of his, um, shutter. I'd chum around with him if he lived next door...and probably make him pay for beer too. Him and his wifey are really swell folks. So is his crack pipe..."

  "If I had a starship of my own, Nick is the FIRST person I would ask to be on my crew. I would say to him, "Figure out how this thing works, and let me know when we can leave." And he'd do it. And we'd leave. And it would be WTSAwesome."

  "nicolai_g's photos are amazing. His tracking images, created with a pinhole camera, are among the greatest photos I've seen on Flickr...actually, anywhere. Beautiful to the nth degree. Classics in the making. Cheers for sharing them with us Nicolai."

  "Nick is such a nice dude, even I never met him in person. As a new comer to Flickr community, I enjoy his amazing photos very much. In Chinese word, Nick is also a 热心肠（warmhearted ）guy, I am impressed by his patient and useful advices on camera and photography (he has incredible knowledge on camera!!). Thank you Nick, I really benefit from them.
  
  Here I would like to give my first testimonial at Flickr to Mr Nicolai.

  "Nicolai can't sit still.He usually has at least 2 cameras with him,everytime I see him.
  He will shoot everything,and will produce images I can only dream of getting.
  Nicolai is a pinhole genius."

  Andy Welsh says:

  "Nicolai and his quality stand out for me within the Flickr community.
  
  The fact that he shoots the majority of his images on film and often in black and white, creates a very distinctive style and texture to the images that he creates.
  
  More importantly he has an eye for the most superb shots, whereas most people just see everyday decay, Nicolai takes advantage of these urban opportunities on a daily basis.
  
  Class."
