  "Tony has been a critical influence on my developing photography skills--and he is a source of frequent inspiration. I am always impressed by how he finds fantastic beauty in the smallest details, especially in his meditative city-night depth-of-field and bokeh compositions. Aside from his great talent, Tony has remained a sharp and generous teacher. He recognizes and nurtures the social aspect of the artistic process, and he demonstrates an authentic love of the art and of sharing his technical knowledge with others. To me, Tony reflects best the vibrant spirit of Flickr."

  "I've only known Tony/ –tradewinds•> for a short time online, but have been impressed with his artistry and great sites. I'd love to hear a piano recital someday. I imagine he is even more of an artist on the keyboard."

  "Inspiring.
  
  This is the word I would use for his photostream.
  
  ALL of his photos are outstanding - but personally, I find his Tokyo sets the most interesting. I have taken 4 trips there in the last 2 years. If I look at his photos, I feel like I am THERE. They are so representative of the REAL Tokyo.
  
  All I want to do after seeing his stream is go out and start taking pictures myself! One of the best on Flickr."

  "If one believes in the quote "No man was ever great without divine inspiration", then Tony aka -tradewinds-> is truly a giant in greatness due to his ability to inspire others through various medium that he excels in: music, photography, videogrpahy, words and in thoughts.
  
  Yet, "No really great man ever thought himself so." Despite his talent, fame, worldly knowledge, situational awareness and vast experiences - Tony remains at heart and in actions one of the most natural person I've ever met.
  
  I've known Tony for a relatively short period of time. But his wholesomely transparent character; kind and genuine approach to matters; and simple sincerity makes him as though the guy from next door that you've known for decades. I heard he makes a wicked coffee (not sure about changing the lightbulb or fixing the pipe part though).
  
  Having said so, Tony is also a complex character which I shall leave you the readers to acquaint yourself with over the course of your friendship with him."

  " I love the pictures of Tony's travels , as well as, his "flickr" walks he shares with us.He has a wonderful eye for seeing the "artistic shot" when others would see a snapshot. He is a wonderfully creative person both in photography and as a pianist and I feel lucky to call him friend."

  "tradewinds-> a.k.a. Tony is simply a photographer with a great vision... Somehow I wonder how he makes ordinary objects becoming so artistic and beautiful through his lens...
  
  I'm a fan of artistic photography and a beginner myself...
  His photostream is definitely teaching me a lot!"
