I WILL BLOCK YOU
I enjoy the FLickr community and have "met" so many wonderful people. Generous with comments, help, and ideas. That's the best part for me, and I hope it is for you as well.
I have a "real" day job, but love photography and travel, which was my inspiration for setting up this Flickr page. I wish I could travel when ever I wanted too, just so I could take pictures all the time. The age of digital photography has really changed things. I can't believe there was a time when I said "digital camera....why would I want one of those?"

""Well I have never met Sylvia, personally that is, but I think we would make great next door neighbours. I have come to know her,well her Flickring self over the past couple weeks and month, and I have reason to believe that she is a great down to earth type of person. I like to smile back at her icon and say " Hey Sylvia, how goes your day?" when I see she has left a comment. I am continuely left encouraged by her kind comments.
I really have enjoyed wandering through her Gallery and I am looking forward to see more of her amazing work!!!

"Sylvia's stream is full of true beauty! Whether it is a nature shot, a bokeh shot, or something from her travel archives she inspires me with her talent. She is a true artist. I hope she doesn't mind me calling her a Flickr friend :-) She is not only talented, but a very sweet person with a great sense of style..which comes through in her work. She makes you want to walk with her where ever she goes and see the world as she sees it. She finds all this beauty..and it really inspires people (which is why she is on Explore everyday) ;-)
Thank you Sylvia for being a friend and for sharing your work with all of us :-) xxxx"5th January, 2009

"Well where to start... 'beauty' seems as good a place as any! That about sums up what you will see in every single photo on Sylvias stream. She's queen of the Front Page and deservedly so... she should be on it every day. :) Quite apart from the photos, she is a gorgeous person who has me in stitches almost every day with her comments. All in all she makes Flickr a very pleasant place to be.
I'm so glad we became Flickr friends Sylvia. You are so talented. Much love, Claire xox
P.S. Now will you please tell me how to do the heart bokeh?!!! :-)"14th November, 2008

"Sylvia's photostream.... where to begin...
If you're looking for absolute beauty, wonderful color, and a truly unique eye toward composition, you're looking at the right stream. Sylvia has a unique natural style that captures the very essence of the natural work. Her shots often find detail in a subject that you'd miss when just viewing the flower, plant, etc. I look forward to the gorgeous additions to her stream each day!"27th October, 2008

You are one of the people who make Flickr so much fun.Thank's Sylvia for sharing your skills and talent with us.

~ Stormin' Arizona ~ says:
"Sylvia has been and continues to be one of the most inspirational photographers on Flickr, for me. I have been in awe of her creative abilities since the very 1st time I laid eyes on her beautiful and artistic photography. Sylvia is “one of a kind” whose stream reflects her prolific passion and love for capturing select moments within a given time. Whenever I open one of her current shots, I am reminded to better myself as a student of photography and to look thru the lens in a different way. Sylvia has changed the way I see the world and how the world looks thru my lens. Thank you for all of your time, your guidance, patience and creative stimulation… but mostly, Sylvia, thank you for being such a great Flickr friend who continues to support others with daily comments, in addition to maintaining an unbelievable and great portfolio of work!
Keep the inspiration coming...

suezart (still off designing,miss you! ) says:
"I cannot believe there is not a testimonial written for Sylvia yet. I am excited to be the first.
I am blown away by her photography . I am relatively new to flickr and have been delighted by her stream. There is consistently a high level of quality throughout her work. I enjoy seeing all the different kinds of artistic chances she takes. She challenges herself to experiment and play.
Her body of work ranges across the board from breathtaking bokeh florals, hairy critters , far away lands, and so much more! Her water refraction work is some of the best on Flickr. Her feel for composition, Bokeh is all amazing. She never " gilds the lily" and knows how to compose shots with a clear vision and a sense of understanding . A great artist!
She is also very kind and generous with comments to others and has a fun playful sense of humor. I feel blessed to have Sylvia as Flickr friend. Thanks Sylvia for sharing your beautiful photographs with the world!"1st September, 2008
