  DCZ says:

  "+Fatman+ is an inspiration to me. Every now and then when I’m out with my camera and am not drawn to photograph anything in particular, I ask myself, “What would Fatman shoot?” (WWFS, for short). Which gets me to look around with a keener and more minimalist (which I love) eye. I feel honored when Fatman comments on my photographs."

  "I always wanted to be the 200th person to write a testimonial because then I knew I could not be expected to say anything original that wasn't said 199 times before :)
  
  This said - I guess I basically want to say a big, huge "thank you" to Fatman for sharing his eye with us, for offering us his talent. I know I am learning a lot just looking at his pictures, if only that if you give anything a chance to make a good picture, it will do its best do to a good picture - even things you never pay any attention to.
  
  For this humbling and mind-opening lesson, thank you."

  "As I browsed through his body of work, I instantly fell in love with his pictures. As a matter of fact, I've never written any testimonials on any photographer on flickr. This is my first time, and I saw his pictures yesterday for the first time.
  
  His collection of images are very well curated, he has a very defined style, his composition... ahhh his composition... his ability to work with form and color.
  
  I just love discovering new talent...
  
  This is a good day."

  TommyOshima says:

  "Honestly speaking, +fatman+'s photostream keeps making me jealous and envy this man's genius eyes. There are so many photographers here on Flickr and also in other Photoblog that is obviously "influenced" by his works. When I look into his visions, I feel that the true sense of minimalism is based on this man's mind and soul, but not with which Gadget he uses.
  I think I'm caught in an "Eternal Fatman Complex Syndrome"....EFCS:)"

  das-odg (is leaving flickr) says:

  "Fatman is definitely one of my favorite flickrites. Because of the unique character of his photographies, some people have referred to his style as "fatmanism", and most deservedly so, I think. I hardly know anyone else who can tell a STORY with only a few lines and colours - and, as if this were not enough, add a great sense of humour to the pics, too. Amazing stuff!"

  xylonets says:

  "+fatman+'s images disect the world of ordinary experience into luminous pallettes of light, texture, lines, shapes, and the most vivid of colors. he is singlehandedly creating a minimalist revolution that will henceforth be properly referred to as +fatmanalism+.
  
  That was then.
  This is now.
  Fatman ees.
  WowWowWow.
  
  Hands down my favorite flickr artist.
  
  Fatman also rules Flickrland with absolutist total mindcontrol."

  "fatman's stream and sets are extraordinary.
  
  his eye for composition is dominant in most of his shots and the playful, but thought out treadment of lines and colors is very nice to look at. i added his photostream to my rss reader a while ago and he is constantly delivering quality photographs. i really appreciate his shots made with the digital camera and/or the LOMO.
  
  colors, lines, composition, lomo, people and and and ... fatman go on."

  He never failed to show his creativity & imaginations in every masterpiece!!
