"I was just mopping the tile in my home, thinking about flickr and what a ride it's been! Ann was the first of my contacts that I thought of. Ann is always around, leaving the best comments and compliments on my stream. She is beautiful, witty, intelligent and a VERY "ORIGINAL" artist and photographer here at flickr. Thank you for sharing your amazing work with us. You are very loved and admired by many. xo)
Okay, back to mopping..."

"Whenever there's a dull and cloudy day tapping on my window, I put on my hood, boots and all and I make a dash for the nearest and brightest sunshine in the neigbourhood. Anne-Stars...thanks for the ongoing beautilicious memories! :x"

"She is a muse with her endless support but also with her sensitive photography."

smokingdrum says:
"Ann, I have wanted to write you a testimonial for some time.

Your photos evoke a wonderful nostalgia of places visited in childhood or beyond. But you deliver them with a wonderfully unique warm, saturated feeling.

I'm crap with words but I think this roughly gets across why I am always looking forward to seeing what you post next. And, I'm truly thankful for all the supportive and kind comments you insist on leaving me!"

Jiffy Cat says:
" Fortunate is the Flickr-ite who stumbles across Ann's photos. Ann's magical nostalgia infused photographic pleasure-dome is one of Flickrs greatest treasures. Not to mention Ann herself.Always encouraging,engaging,thoughtful and generous with her comments
and praise for others. It's been my pleasure to know her and to consider here one of my best Flickr friends."

mel-pin says:
"Ann introduces to the flickr community a kind of rare mental elegance. Not only by her wonderful, unique views but also with her rich feelings. Her sharp sensitivity is the key to a bright, intimate world where light vibrates playfully around every single object.
It's the enfolding world of a kind wizzard. She takes us to her endless sea, her spellbound place, her soul. And she leaves us there gently, quietly. We stay smiling, enjoying her wonderful visual music."

Out of Tune is Richelle Ludwick says:
"She is simply one of the most encouraging, creative, interesting and brilliant people around."

Robby Garbett says:
"You're out with your camera, you see something lovely, you try and put your heart into how you might tell everyone else about the beauty you see, you post it and Ann comes along and she gets it and she tells you in such a warm encouraging way - I doubt Ann that you could ever appreciate how much that means.

Muse, inspiration and a teacher too through the medium of your own jewel like images - thanks Ann!"

rustman says:
"original. indeed."

paul szynol says:
"ann. is. the. best."

DerrickT says:
"Ann's delicate cables of creativity are always like a draw-bridge, an unspeakable beauty easily penetrated into the deepest depth (at least, for myself) that remains within us all.

It has been a pleasure knowing this kind and creative woman and the aloe of my thoughts continue to escape me, yet like the autumn crocus and the powers that grace our beloved internal gardens, we often locate the chapel of of whomever tends to visit our minted coinage of life.

Ann's work is influential and is like fragments seeking fragments in a constant interaction within each other.

She continues to hold my imagination by the throat, and I am enjoying every moment of it.

Now everyone should go and dig through her images because there are treasures awaiting your eyes!

May you continue to shine and let peace and love control your blooming world, like atmospheres between our "realm" and the communion of angel-air!"

"Ann's work to me is so special.
Her "coastal life" set takes me back to the coast of my youth.

Her work is so beautiful and insightful.

I find Ann also good at giving comments on other artists work.

When I need inspiration I come to see Ann's beautiful photography.
