"One of flickr's finest photostreams. Nygus is always on the lookout for the unusual angle and the most imaginative of compositions. It's great to see that his images are getting increasing coverage in magazines and I, for one, am looking forward to another good year of his images and travels!"

Maciej Dakowicz says:
"if I was as creative, bold and brave as nygus I would be one of Magnum photographers already... ;) nygus rules, he is so talented. I am sure one day we will see his pictures in National Geographic"
... and here you are. Many ppl can be proud of you, but in fact, you deserve it. Congratulation. Your glorious photos represent your hard work.
Nygus loves his job. And he is making this professionally.
Best wishes. Don't stop it:)

"what can i say... swiatek (or jack, how my wife call him) is a down to earth bloke who consciously chose life of misery, discomfort AND adventure, so we can flick through these photographic diares of his treavels in comfort of our sofa without risking malaria, sore feet, muggings, food poisonings, exhaustion and dirty clothes :-) his work is about poor people, working class, farmers, gypsies, nomads and all kind of other god forsaken and expoited by world powers, but proud folks."

karen k. says:
"I am quite suprised he does not have a long list of testemonials - I sort of just found him and I am so inspired by his documentary work. He has an intelligent and compassionate eye..one that has allowed him to go further into peoples homes and communities. His visual documentation is beautifully recorded - his understanding for vantage points, composition, and framing reveals much intelligence and talent to me. He is a rare gem on flickr."

"If this is Gus' first testimonial, Flickr is simply.....a toddler.
This guy is ridiculously good. Out of every stream I have ever seen for the first time, I had the biggest reaction to some pictures this gentleman here made in Africa. His sense of light, drama, color and character are all put to fabulous use as he covers every inch of the globe. He goes places you wont see anywhere else on flickr. My hat goes off to this fantastic storyteller."25th July, 2006
