Hi, I'm Dustin, I work at Twitter... but first, a quote I like:
"The important decisions in photography are those concerned with the image itself: the reasons for taking it, and the way it looks. The Technology, of course, is vital, but the best it can do is to help realize ideas and perception."
~ Michael Freeman - The Photographers Eye

"Dustin's stream is just amazing. His portraits and group shots are rocking. He does not only know how to handle strobes, he also shares his wisdom with us through his stream. I can learn so much from him and I am always looking forward to his new shots. Not to forget his amazing and beautiful girlfriend who is a great model and wears the most awesome shoes ever ;-)
But Dustin is not only a good photographer, he is also a fun guy and such a nice and loyal Flickr friend.
I'm so glad to have you on my contact list :) Keep up the great work!
You rock!!!
Love, Sunny :-)"30th March, 2009
