  "Kristin Manson.
  Her photos are natural.
  I can't explain them any other way, except that they feel real and natural and make me wish that I was there.
  She is beautiful, and her faith makes me wish that I had more of it.
  xoxo,
  Caiti"

  "when i saw you add me back as a contact, i honestly, literally gasped. the first thing i thought of was writing you one of these because i have been wanting to tell you how much you have inspired me for so long. you were one of my first flickr contacts ever, and i have continued to be amazed by your artwork and your faith and your kindness with everything you do. i have looked up to you for so long, and i can never quite explain how absolutely incredible you are.
  
  ps. we've got the same birthday, too!"

  "I have been lurking your stream since I first came upon the flickr scene. You're grood, there's no doubt, but, I have to say, for a while I resented that, and you and your work. I was so envious that I resented you. Luckily, I've grown up quite a schmidge and realized just how wrong I was in dealing with my awe. I'm sorry about before.
  
  Anywho, ya... I think it's the focus that gets me every time. I'm a sucker for a perfectly focused shot."

  Each Day is a Gift (Will Eventually Catch Up) says:

  "I have never written a testimonial for anyone, let alone for someone that I have never met. Let me assure you that I am twice a grandfather, and I am not someone who takes this lightly.
  
  Kristin Manson is a very special person who has a God given gift of being able to express a joy and exuberance for life through her photography . Her photographs have the power to lift the spirits of all that are lucky enough to view them (Just reading the comments left by others is proof of this). Judging from what I have read from the comments of people that have met her, Kristin's photography skills emanate from her uplifting and sparkling personality.
  
  Kristin's photos are so simple, so beautiful, yet they are so extraordinary and powerful that they profoundly capture an essence that can not be described in words. Many times, in the comments of her photos, people ask Kristin “How do you do it?” Kristin has a strong faith in God, and a lust for life, who has found an ingenious way to share this with the masses through her photography and her actions. Kristin is very precious and a true role model with a glorious future; a genuine treasure. We have all been blessed that she has chosen to share her talents with us. Thank you, Kristin"

  "Every single one of Kristin's photographs are jam-packed full of life. Whenever I feel the need to be inspired, her stream is definitely one of the first I visit, and it has never once let me down. Gahh, I don't really have the words to explain how awesome she is, but it's okay, cause her photos say more than enough."

  "kristin's just like this talented, awesome, amazing, wonderful, hilarious mess in a beautifully wrapped package from God. can you say role model?? =)
  
  so look at her stream cuz that metaphor took me a while.
  she's pretty cool.
  
  okay, i have to say something else.
  i just wanted you to know that you've been one of the biggest inspirations in my life. so thank you, for your kindness, amazingness, influence, for everything.

  "Did I honestly not make a testimonial for Kristin yet? Wow. Well here it goes.
  No matter how amazing her photos are (which lets be honest, they blow my mind) she never ceases to make me smile and laugh. Kristin is so full of joy and love and compassion. Her photos make me want to become a better photographer and they are a main reason I haven't given up on photography altogether. I admire Kristin much more than she'll ever know.
  So hats off to Kristin Manson.

  sarah n~ says:

  "I feel like my last testimonial for Kristin totally did not do her justice, so here it goes again:
  
  Kristin is a wonderful person. I have enjoyed knowing her and watching her grow as a person and as a photographer. Her photographs capture life so well, and she doesnt go out of her way to edit the heck out of them like a lot of people do; they show life as it really is, whether the photographs are sad or happy. Her smile brightens my day, and every time I see a picture where she is smiling, I cant help but smiling as well, and not very many people have that effect on me. Kristin seems like one of those people that are true to themselves, and I am very much glad for it, because Kristin is a really good person, and everyone would do well to know her. :)"

  "Ok.
  
  I know I'm not the only person who, when faced with the task of writing a testimonial for you, didn't really know what to say.
  
  And for that reason, I will keep this short.
  
  Kristin, I may not really know you at all, but sometimes it seems like I do because you are just that good :)
  
  You photos are my favorites on flickr, they are completely unique and well...genius...in every way. Just when I think you can't get any better, you do.
  
  I hope you continue, you are quite amazing.
  
  That is all.

  "gotta edit this hopefully one last time.
  sorry hah
  
  everyone pretty much already said what is to be said. :) but kristin, you are an inspiration to so many people.
  you are gorgeous, and so so sweet and i love you dearly.
  i hope to meet you one day :) that would be so fun haha
  
  if you don't like her pictures, you must be insane.
  even if "things are trashy and gross" (though it probably isn't that bad there) she can still make where she is look beautiful.
  
  love you.
  keep going and inspiring people kristin :)"

  geetarooman says:

  "Kristin is an absolutely amazing photographer, she has innovative ideas and never ceases to amaze. She falls like no one's business, it's intense. She's also pretty funny, and an okay kid ;). It's just too bad she doesn't own a pet rhino.. cause then she'd be even awesomer. Oh and she's my twin, like literally. crazy right? I know.
  
  it's about time I updated this. So over the past 8 months I have gotten to know Kristin, and as I said before she is an absolutely amazing photographer. So, looking back at her photos 8 months ago and looking at what she they are now, it's a completely different level. They are not even comparable anymore to be honest. Sure you may see her photos and be like oh she's just an angsty teenager, which she is ;), but! there is more to her photos than just that. there's depth to them, even though they aren't immediately apparent. There are so many minor intricacies interlaced into her photos that you can literally spend 15 minutes to an hour dissecting them all. Her photos tell a story of her life, and it shows who she is to an extent. So saying that she is an absoluely amazing photographer, would be an insult because it's an understatement to her talent. Within the eight months that I have known her, I've come to learn that she is not just a photographer either, she's much more than that. she's an incredible friend. and you should get to know her. you won't regret it.
  
  p.s. she still doesn't have a pet rhino."

  cream tangerine says:

  "Yess. When I checked my flickrmail and saw that Kristin added me as a contact it made me unbelievably happy! Why? Well, that's obvious. She's amazing and talented and I don't even have to know her to see that she's a beautiful person. I remember a while ago, when her name was still rocketequalslove, that she uploaded one of her first jumping pictures and I was just so amazed that it wasn't edited. Since then, she has developed a certain something to her photos that make them, well, her. She's also hilarious and so full of life. I'll be expecting something huge from her, something that will change the world and make her eternal."

  Kristin, edit time: I seriously adore how you've evolved as a photog... not only adore, but envy and respect you. You've grown from a small child with a camera to a young woman with a key to her dreams in her hands. I have no doubt you'll go very, very far.
  
  Love always, Kelsey."

  "I had to edit this testimonial because I think it no longer did Kristin justice. Her photostream has been evolving, taking on a beautiful new form over the past few months. Her photographs take my mind to a soft, comforting place where I can wrap my arms around my body and watch the sunset in absolute peace. There is a quality to her images that captivate, stun, amaze me. She has created some beautiful work, and I can only expect more from such a great artist."

  "We have been FlickrMailing back in forth now, and you telling me that you like my pictures means alot. The pictures you take are stunning, and I hope to get where you are one day. Since I have only done photography for about a year now, I am moving on up. I'm getting a new camera and everything! Thank you so much. Your pictures are the best, and did I tell you that if you look up "Valentines Day" on my iPod, it shows your picture of that ring that says "Love"? Wow, THAT is how good you are. Take some more, and never quit! =D"

  When i first clicked on Kristins icon i had no clue as to what she had in store for me.

  Seriously well done. I wish i had half this talent ;)"

  I usually wait quite a while to write a testimonial--until I feel that I know the person well, and start feeling like a broken record over how fantastic their photographs are. It's been a few months and I'm already here.
  
  She is super talented, creative, and willing to have a bit of fun--no matter how silly she might look in the process. An inspiration for sure, and hopefully a good friend in the making!
  
  A real sweetheart =)"

  "The thing I love about coming to Kristin's stream is that I get to see her joy for life! It is amazing to see and very encouraging ... besides that she has amazing amazing talent. Also when I come by I get to hear a new song and be introduced to or reminded of my love for a band that I have not heard in a while.
  
  I definitely praise the Lord for the amazing talent that she has and how she keeps her eyes focused...just amazing!"

  She have the eye.. her shots are wonderful ... and videos ... wow....
  
  “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
  Aaron Siskind
  
  Nothing is better then... remember the feelings that she put in her photos and videos.

  Paul Strand
  
  “There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”

  Well for starters, she is an excellent photography with a bright imagination and one heck of a creative eye. I can instantly tell by her pictures that she loves photography. Her photostream is always a joy to look at (not to mention the occasional video, in which we witness Kristin's witty humor). Simply put, she is one of the best young photographers on Flickr...
