I believe in something, but i don't know what it is. It's either the future or the end. It's every reason that i do or don't get out of bed; we live in unhappy shadows. I believe that
when you take a photograph, you participate in another person's mortality, vulnerability and mutability. By doing this, you slice this moment from time, and freeze it; all photographs testify to time's relentless melt. I'd like to document what I see.

    "Dearest Rachael,
    I've been following your stream for quite some time now, and neveer have I completely understood how you manage to create the way you do. Your photographs are full of beauty & emotion and your concepts are so original. You absolutely blow me away. I can honestly tell you, no one has ever managed to facinate me as much as you. I find, that the more inner beauty someone possesses, the more that is reflected on their images, and this rule definitely applies to you. Recently, you've become one of my favourite people & photographers to follow, and I cannot wait to see where you progress in the future. Stay beautiful."

    "Dear Rachael,

    I’ve been wanting to write you a testimonial for a very long time now, so here goes.

    You were one of the first people I found upon joining Flickr, and I was blown away by how talented you were. You create such beautiful, emotional, works of art. You have also been a constant inspiration to me – every single photograph of yours is inspirational in countless ways. I was amazed when I found out that we were the same age, because you are incredibly gifted beyond explanation! The way you convey feelings through photographs is unique and meaningful. You are not only talented with photography, but with the wonderful words you write as well.

    You are truly, truly gifted, Rachael. It has been an honor to watch you on your photography journey. You are such a beautiful person, on the inside and the outside! I wish I could meet you in real life!
    I can’t wait to see what you come up with in the future, and the best of luck always! :)

    Lots of love,

    Gina xx"

    "Rachael,
    She has a very unique and special way to set things into spotlight.
    Her stream is lovely, heartwarming and strong, expressive and intense on the other hand. She understands what it means to make a point in & with her photos. It's a pleasure, each and every time, to look at her pictures. She never bores you, no matter what.

    Rachael, you are what I call a true artist. Thank you for your great creativity & inspiration.

    "rachael...wow. after having followed your stream for a while, a testimonial is very much due. i think i must have commented on pretty much all your photos, and yet i am still amazed by every single one of your uploads. not only are they stunning in the usual (focus, colour, light, blah, blah..) ways, but they have such an emotional impact. it is obvious how much time and effort you put into your work, and i think this just adds to the beauty. your descriptions are so full of feeling and emotion it's incredible. i love seeing your photos and reading your words, so please don't ever stop."

    "Ok, so I have allready written a testimonial for rachael before, but it feels so out dated. We have become so much more close since then, and she has become much more a part of my life, so here we go. Rachael, i still wont forget the day I found you on flickr. You had commented one of my photos and I liked your buddy Icon so i decided to explore further. All i can say is, that was one of the best decisions of my life. Not only had i found an amazing artist, whose pictures screamed raw emotion, magic and pure beauty, but also, a friend who I hope I will keeep for a long time. Your images inspire me more than you know, The way you can show the world your deepest, darkest emotions in such a beautiful, honast and tastfull way is nothing less than maginficent. Your images are your diary, your life. They haunt me and move me in ways I havent experienced very often, just by looking at a photo. Also, your writing. Man, what can I say, you are a genious. I genuinly hope to get a tattoo of your writing, i dont even know if its written yet, but i know I do. I find it that beautiful. You hold talent that most people your age couldnt even begin to imagine, i wish you would see that more. You are the best friend that I never had, and it makes me so sad that we live so far apart. But at the same time, i think it makes our friendship stronger. You are there for me when most people are not, and i will treasure you as a friend for many years. I love you, rachael. You will go far in life, this is a fact."

    "Rachael, your stream is filled with so much raw talent, energy, and emotion that I can't help but feel inspired! When I look through your images, I feel the need to grab my camera and go takes some pictures of my own!
    You have this way of connecting simple poses and dramatic tones to create an calculated emotional response. You really have a clear idea of what you want from your work, and you are a master at evoking a response from your viewers.
    The words you write are as magical and as surreal as the pictures you take, and I think they really add to a story behind each image. And Lord knows I am a sucker for a good story. =D
    Not only are you a fantastic artist, but you have such deep, insightful comments that I always look forward to reading!
    Rachael, I hope you know that, whatever you decide to do with your life, you are an amazing person, a great friend, and a beautifully creative soul.
    Can't wait to see where you take photography next!

    - Ethan"

    "Rachael,

    I can't thank you enough for all the help and friendship you've given me, and time you've saved me on editing I had no clue how to begin. Since the day I added you as a friend on Facebook over a year ago now, I've watched so closely over your albums and Flickr stream for inspiration, and I can definitely say I've found more than I could ever have hoped for.

    I love your personality - you're rare, I'll tell you that! ;) But definitely in a good way. You're probably not aware, but you've also got me into Topshop, ahah - I love the way you dress and your style.

    I don't understand how somebody with such intelligence and pure beauty (you are gorgeous) could also be so talented at what they love doing. I doubt this gift(?) will ever come to me, but I will keep trying, because I don't want to let you down after all the guidance you've given me. I hope that one day I'll be getting more than 10 favourites on a photograph that took me 38463 hours to produce, but I also know, like you've taught me - Flickr, or any kind of photography, isn't about what other people think; it's about what makes you happy and what makes you proud. Well, I'm happy to have met you and I'm so, so proud of you :)

    Sorry it's so long,
    Robyn xxx"

    "I think it would be fair to say that Rachael's stream is one of my favourites to follow the progress of on flickr.
    Not only does she executes the ideas she has wonderfully to the extent at which you can almost see the initial image she had in her mind, but she connects each photo to reality and human nature and explores what it means, I feel, to be yourself.
    She uses darkness in equal measures to light, the way that a good actor can use silence in equal measures to speech. Her photos are touching in a resolute, beautiful manner and there are times when I feel like she can capture an emotion I'm feeling or a situation I've encountered through her work and words.

    Rachael's stream is one of those rare anomalies in which everything intertwines to make the whole - her photographs are enhanced by her writing, while at the same time you can see the influence of the writing in the photographs themselves. She evidently has an eye for creation and a natural talent for both photography and writing, which is so very admirable."

    " Rachael-
    - I really am ashamed that I don't have the time nor the attention span to go through all Rachael's photos and comment and favorite every single one. I just don't have the words to say for half of them, and the other half I have so much to say, and not enough brain to compose it!
    - Some days I will find myself on her flickr or facebook just browsing through her photos, and then I'll just stare at some of them and think "Does she ever run out of ideas?!" The answer is no. She is forever and eternally inspired. For every letter I type, Rachael has been inspired by something that no one else would see.
    -I have been blessed incredibly to have met her through flickr, and I am amazed at the thought that someone as talented as herself would even dare to tell me I have even a sliver of talent.
    - Rachael is one of the sweetest people I've met, and she is made with every single atom of perfection. She is gorgeous, and can put anything you tell her into a photograph worthy of being displayed on the front page of the universe.
    - I'm sorry for this being so long, Rachael, and if it doesn't make any sense, I apologize for that as well.

    - All in all, I love Rachael, and she is probably my biggest inspiration yet.
    She is so talented, and has only just begun her journey.
    You're wonderful.


    -xoxox,
    Maddie"
