A note on contacts
Hundreds of people have marked me as a contact. Although I am honored that so many think well enough of me and my work to do so, please understand that I only have enough time to keep up with a few people on Flickr on a regular basis.
Please do not take offense if I do not mark you as a contact in return. I wish I had a lot more time to spend browsing on Flickr, but between my job and my personal life outside of Flickr I do not have that much time.....
A note on Groups and Invites
I have no problem with Invitations to groups, I may even invite you to one of my own.
I do however have a problem with "MULTIPLE INVITES" or strings of them being splattered all over my page. I think its annoying and I no longer want anybody on flickr to do this on my stream nor will I do it on yours. We are here to comment mostly, so lets do this and have a good time doing it.~

"Marcellus this is way overdue....but being the class act that you are, I know you understand!
This man is so very talented, positive, loyal and encouraging. Each posting is a work of art. Post processing is one thing, but he takes great photos to start with. His subject matter, composition and creativity are off the chain! While I certainly can't replicate what he has done, I have learned a good bit about presentation and subject matter. He has encouraged me to try new things and take some chances with my photography and I have had fun with that!
Thank you for being you Marcellus...you ROCK the house!"31st October, 2009

"Your love for photography is stronger than anyone I've ever known. You have the eye to catch just the right shots and turn them into beautiful works of art. There is nothing I enjoy more than going out on shoots with you and exploring new and interesting things to photograph. You have taught me so much about photography!!! Before I knew you I didn't have a clue, but now you've got me taking some pretty hot pictures...if I do say so myself...haha. Thank you for always taking the time to show me the beauty in ordinary, everyday things. Sometimes I tend to overlook the little things and would miss really good shots if it wasn't for me watching you in action and taking mental notes.
You've always been a great photographer but watching your progression into an excellent photographer has been great. And everyday you continue to get better and better with your style of photography mixed with art. You arent just good at one kind of photography either you are a master at all things you try...portraits, landscapes, macros, hdr.....everything you do is top notch.
I'm very glad I have you. You mean the world to me. Being your partner in crime and photography is a wonderful thing. Thanks for being you. You know that I love you.

"It is such a long time we know each other. From my first hour in FLiCKRLaND till today, my American brother follows me and I follow him. His work is unbelievable. The progress he made you can see with every new upload of _OrACLe_, and yes the name is program here.
Amazing work with colors and composition only pro does.
You are a fantastic friend, my dear M. and I want to thank you for that.
I appreciate your friendship so much.
Thank you for being with me in this FLiCKRLaND.
Sunshine, Love and real friendship
This are strong attributes of your human being.
Your work is very professional, as everybody can see.
Hope our friendship goes on and on and I am still waiting for you and your beloved ones to come over the big thing.
Cheers and bless you all

"Your first testimonial in french, dear Marcellus! :)
Oracle est un de mes meilleurs amis sur Flickr. Une grosse pointure. Mais modeste et toujours prêt à aider.
Ses photos sont somptueuses, on sent l'exprerience et le professionalisme. Il est polyvalent. De la macro au portrait, en passant par les paysages, ou carrement l'artwork texturé, on tretrouve toujours le grand soin qui le caracterise, et un génial sens des couleurs et de l'espace.
Mais ce qui m'impressionne le plus, c'est son art du traitement d'mages. Alors là il est certainement un des tous meilleurs. Un gourou de l'édition subtile..
Oracle, continue de nous inspirer, c'est un délice de voir chaque jour tes créations!
Bravo l'artiste!
Amitiés,
Fred."4th August, 2009

"In the short period of time i have known the _ØяAcLә_ I have come to know someone who is a very kind and helpful friend to all his contacts... respect is everything and he certainly has that on Flickr - his group: flickr.com/groups.... OutStanding Images, speaks volumes with quality and style. As a photographer his eye is all about details and sharpness which he captures in a unique way.. a pleasure to know."

Thanks so much for accepting me into your world. I am honored

"Dear Sweet ~O~ I wish I had written this long ago. In some ways I'm a slow learner but I've learned through you and with you that you can make strong friendships on flickr. You have a gift for photography, there is no doubt about that. Some of us struggle to learn our craft but I firmly believe that God has given you a gift and you are smart enough to know it and work it.
Every day it is a joy to go to your stream and view your post. Every day I see beauty, color and strong compositions in your work. Everyday I strive to be more like you. I can count on one hand the number of photographers on flickr that I totally admire and you are one of them.
~O~ your comments on my stream are always honest and heartfelt. Your kindness is greatly appreciated. You are the best my friend. I wanted you to know that you make a difference in my life. It is said, at the end of the day, that is all one has to do. Bless you."31st May, 2009

"What can be said about the man known as Oracle that hasn't already been said? A GREAT artist, a WONDERFUL Friend and a truly AMAZING person. From the first glimpse of his work as Photographic Design there was a connection and I would like to think I can safely call him FRIEND. Always awed and inspired when I visit his stream and eternally grateful for the wonderful advice and comments left by this man!"

The Redd Woman says:
" This man's work is just phenomenal! it always a joy to come to his gallery and get inspired. You just never know what he will do next. It is very rare to run into a portrait photographer that is so versatile. I love his independent spirit, and the way he refuses to do what is "in". It is all about photography with an edge, photography being avante garde, photography being timeless. He is also a very supportive and positive contact. in a word..."SUPERLATIVE""

Loren Kahle says:
"The work Marcellus produces shows his skillful abilities, hard work, attention to detail, and clever imagination. He is also likely one of the best Flickr friends you will find. You will learn from his creative talents and appreciate his kind, thoughtful comments on your own photographs. He has a passion for photography and sharing his work on Flickr. You would be hard pressed to find a better friend."

Jenny [海外遠征中] says:
"_ØяAcLә_is amazing. At first sight, I was deeply attracted by his "purple rain" and then as I look through his works, I am shocked by his creative ideas, passion inside and great imagination. It seems like he has no style, you never know what's gonna happen next in his photostream. But I always have great curiosity for the next work from _ØяAcLә_. I hope you will enjoy the "wow" breath-taking moment as I do when you come to _ØяAcLә_'s world."

"Oracle is a fave Flickr friend! Stress on the word "friend": not only is he an extremely interesting photographer, but a beautiful person as well. With his writing he gives me food for thought. For this I appreciate him tremendously.
As for the photos: what I enjoy mostly is the skill and variety. He's not afraid to step into unfamiliar territory, being with a powerful SP, an expressive portrait or stunning nature photography.
Of course, my absolute favourite part of our "relationship" is the collaboration we did. This way we feel closer :) His fans here (and there are many!) can be certain that more collabs will come!
I wish him all the best in all aspects of his life... and more gorgeous photos to come! :)"19th August, 2008

"It's amazing how one can learn about photography through looking at another's work. I'm not so much of an amateur, but not so much of a professional. I enjoy photography just because. _ØяAcLә_ has always been one of my favs on Flickr' since I have ever been a part of the flickr community. I never thought of joining groups would be so ... helpful. I see others work and wonder.. why can't I do that? And you... _ØяAcLә_ are one of those people, who have helped me and encouraged the true beauty of bbws in a wonderful way. Thanks for being a great Flickr Friend, and I look for more of your work to come. Don't ever change. Much blessings to you and yours.
Ursula * Brown Colour'd Doll*
P.S. Oh yeah, I'm gonna post in the AOS soon! I'd been commenting on everyone elses' instead of posting.. trying to learn the crowd! I need to get my MOJO back, and get my game up with taking photos like I used to.. DAILY, lol."27th June, 2008

Rich Brown Photography says:
"The fertile imagination of _ØяAcLә_ never ceases to amaze me! This guy seems to have a monopoly on Explore through his many images that seem to continually "think outside the box" with their clever compositions and wonderfuly "poetical" & witty descriptions!
I've found _ØяAcLә_ as somebody has previously stated, an individual of "...seemingly boundless enthusiasm and energy for gathering likeminded souls together in order to share his work and theirs." He's always gracious in the comments department! I'm glad to not only count him as a contact but a Friend!
My advice to you is do n't just "drive by" his photostream but stop, look and learn!"23rd June, 2008

his work is full of personality and what comes through is engaging and fun!
i look forward to seeing his new work, am honored that i'm on his list and glad that he decided to share his vision the rest of us.

"if you are sick of those so-called contacts here on flickr that just quickly drop by and give you a short comment in hope of you returning the favour- come to daddy!! :) PD is the 100% man, he likes your pictures or he doesn't, but i have never ever read a one-word-come-and-go-comment from him, he keeps in touch so faithfully and appreciates your comments more than most people i know. oh yeah, his own pictures are GREAT, he has got a huge range of different styles and ideas, and the quality is always outstanding. PD, i am so glad our paths crossed here, you are inspiring, creative and loyal- if you are as good a friend outside flickr, you must have received the "mate of the year award" a few times.... keep it up, my man!!"
