    "If I could favorite an entire stream of any photographer, it would have to be Ruby. There are many great artists on flickr, but for some reason, Ruby has the ability to give originality and life to every single photograph. No two are alike, and it's refreshing to see so much color and vibrancy on a single page. It is an inspiration and she is inspiring!"

    "I have been trying to write you a really great testimonial in honor of you ending your 52 week project, but it seems like every time I write a draft of this testimonial everything I mentioned has either been already said, or it doesn't sound good enough. Or everything has already been said in a cooler way then I said it. So just...ditoo to what everyone else already said.
    jkjk
    So here goes...the final draft for the testimonial of the awesome photographer Ruby.
    The thing I love about Ruby's photos is her creativity in every photograph. I find myself in awe of her imagination, and I am always inspired whenever I see her photos.
    They aren't cliche hipster or contrived; they are simply how Ruby sees' the world, and it is one of the reasons why I love her photographs. She inspired me to try new things in photography and look for that perfect shot that Ruby somehow gets with each upload.
    In person, Ruby is one of the nicest photographers I have ever met, and whenever I am shooting someone (besides my sister Raven) I hear your voice in the back of my head of how you give praise so easily and effortlessly to models. Just yesterday I was shooting someone and "you" reminded me to be nice and encouraging to them and not just rush on to the next photo and idea as soon as we've shot the last one.
    I think with your photography skills, and your public relations you could easily be making a career of photography if you so choose to do. You are amazing, and I hope we get to hang out and shoot in the summer. Congratulations on finishing your 52 week project. :)
    oh, and PS. I know the circumstances aren't ideal...but it is SO AWESOME how you get to have the tropical side of your life in Hawaii with your dad and then the snowy wintery fall /actual season/ side of life with your Mom. That is so majorly cool for photography options."

    "Ruby,
    I don't think I've come across a 52 weeks project quite like yours before. Every image you create is absolutely stunning, and the way you use your models and set up is phenomenal. Unlike most images I come across aimed towards the sun, yours are a step above the rest, and leave me in awe. I also appreciate every comment I get from you and every favorite makes me happy, knowing that somebody that's as good as you takes the time to view my images as well makes me feel really great.

    You are definitely one of the most stunning portrait photographers I've come across, and I always look forward to the next upload from you. Keep doing what you do, Ruby!"

    Ruby's pictures are absolutely amazing, her pictures are one of those that I would love to win a print of. They're absolutely beautiful.
    Keep up the good work, ruby! :)

    "Ruby Sue's photography is absolutely brilliant. Every single one of her pictures is impressive and demonstrates pure talent. Ever since I found her stream, I've been visiting it practically daily, excited for her new uploads. She's extremely good at capturing water in motion, which is a talent that I've seen rarely on Flickr. Whenever she posts a new picture I wonder how it was possible that she improved since the last picture, and so on, and so on. Not only is Ruby a skilled photographer, but she's such a kind person! Ruby Sue, I'm so inspired by you! You'll go far in whatever you decide to pursue. (:"

    Ruby has such amazing eye and talent for things. I adore her style of photography, and how she has her own kind-of-genre to her work.
    I am so glad to have befriended her, and have her as such an amazing contact.
    This testimonial is way to short for her. But I can't even put how much I love her work into words."

    So looking back at your stream you have improved a lot. Your images are just great. And i don't know what else to say with these things...but the same cliche "keep up the great work"


    :]

    Ok so my testimonial for you looks like shit compared to what you wrote for me. So i have to add one more thing to make up for the crappiness of my writing.

    YOU ARE AMAZINGLY AWESOME."

    "So I clicked on your stream with the intent of writing you a testimonial. But I got side-tracked and I think I just commented/favorited your entire front page. Anyways, I'm not really sure why I haven't written you one of these before, but here we go! You are an amazing photographer and a really nice person in general. You seriously have the best timing when capturing a picture. I can see the progress you've made as a photographer, and I can tell that you will keep on getting better and better(if that's even possible!). Thanks for all the help and advice you've given me with stop-motions and what-not. You're definitely a favorite flickr contact of mine. I can't wait to see your next upload!!! :D"

    words cannot even describe how much you inspire me.
