  "I'll be honest. I'm jealous of SF buckaroo's skill. There is something very special about the contrast and sharpness in most of these photos. It's something that I've long tried to emulate..... poorly.
  I guess I'll just have to sit back and enjoy watching a master at work. I recommend that anyone reading this does so too."

  "I would love to be able to photograph London the way SFBuckaroo photographs San Francisco.
  
  In the meantime, I am content to enjoy the pictures of his beloved city and be inspired by them."

  "SfBuckaroo is an artist and storyteller. He captures moments in life that contain emotion, color, and the unthinkable that only few can!
  
  All of his shots portray reality in a way that makes me think. His shots are unique. Colorful. Brilliant.
  
  I look at his photos in amazement. Sometimes I fall right out of my chair in awe! I am so pleased to be able to see his work. It's life-changing."

  "Sf buckaroo is a photgrapher whose pictures don't disappoint. A great example of what happens when you have a knack for what you are doing, have good tools at your disposal and know how to use them effectively. Easily the most passionate photographer I know. His ability to glean the interesting from the mundane is almost unsurpassed. His approach to perspective really opens your eyes to the potential of photography. I've probably learned more about the subject from watching his images than from any other source. There are so many great images in his stream that there is scarcely time to fave them!"

  "Buck is one of my favorite photographers, on flickr or anywhere else. Whenever I stop to look at a new shot in his stream, I end up checking out a pile of them and have to fave them all. He's got a great eye, and maintains a distance with his subjects to create some of the best street photography around."

  "I was strolling through SF Buckaroo's photo stream to night and it struck me that the best thing about his work is you never quite know what you are going to get from one day to the next. A master at seeing things most of us miss and then capturing them for his audience to experience."

  "i was just telling someone today that they should check out SF's stream, that he's prolific as hell, and never ever ever disappoints. then i thought -- wtf? why not tell the world this? cos the world needs to know.
  
  what i love about him is that it seems like his camera is attached to his hand, cos he manages to capture every possible facet of everyday life. he finds art in the unlikeliest of places, and at the same time, can take an oft-photographed thing -- the golden gate bridge, for example -- and elicit from it a completely new perspective.
  
  there's much to learn from this man. take note."

  "sfbuckaroo is a photographer of the highest caliber and lives up to his name-- a little lawless, a little unpredictable, and a whole lot creative...he is one of the best camera wranglers out on the range."

  "D, I met you in June and since then I was thinking of writing a testimonial for you. But every time I opened the testimonial page, for some reason I couldn't do it. Today, 10/31/06 when I was ckecking out new photos and came across this picture www.flickr.com/ph..., I just knew that the day has certainly come. If that was the only photo that you ever took, it would be just enough to testify that you have an amazing sense of photography. There's something in your pictures that's really hard to find, the existing emotion of the moment the picture was taken. The true emotion, that only Buckaroo can sense."

  Thanks for the inspiration."

  "some people carrying cameras all the time and think about the processes involved with photography -- composition, timing, lighting, thoughfulness, emotion, perception, secrecy, being there, mood, poesis, moment, circumstance, etc
  
  sf buckaroo takes all of these ideas and more and lands them gracefully into his stream.
  
  before writing this, i perused back in his stream and laughed and laughed at how many favorites i have selected from his work. and i love BINGO!!!!!"

  "SF Buckaroo stream reveals a great photographic eye. His eye for patterns and unique perspectives is one of the best on flickr. Night photos, the city of S.F., road trips, Bingo , cable cars, and the bay are shown with impressive skill that draws a viewer into them. SF Buckaroo’s photos make me look at the world in a fresh way. What more can you ask for from a photographer?"

  Elinesca says:

  "Buckaroo is the silent dark type, tall, handsome, and so absolutely worthy of cake on his birthday. A real gentleman, he brings the ladies for a ride on his California cable car, where he generously lets them stand up front so that they may see the entire view of the city as they fly full motion down the hill. He also unselfishly lends them his camera when they are in need, and dazzle them with his evocative photography.
  
  There is no stream like Buckaroo's, our loyal and trustworthy Knight of SF Photography."

  "I still don't know what devil SF buckaroo sold his soul too to collect all the marvels in his collection, but one day with much torture I may yet find out.
  As it is, I will just have to take inspiration & education as & when I can."

  "The photography of SF Buckaroo has made me realize this truth: Every person, every place, every moment in time has a story and SF is a story-teller.
  What a gift it is to follow SF to and from work! His commute knocks me out. I want to ask, "who is on that bus?" and "where is that guy headed?" and "what goes on in there during the day?" AND "how much is plane fare to the west coast?"
  I am completely hooked on this story-teller's stream!"
