Contacts:
As you may have seen, I love spending lots of time enjoying the inspirational work here on Flickr, and offering meaningful praise, accolades, tips & feedback. But having too many contacts can interfere with that enjoyment. So please don't be offended if I don't contact you back immediately. If you're a steady contributor to my stream, then I will, in turn, visit yours & return the favor.
Also, on occasion I go through my contact list and do some pruning of those folks I have not heard from in a while. If you take offense at this, then the prune was for the best.
Lastly, if you fav my photos and this is your buddy icon
or you have no images or content for me to view, then I will block you immediately. If you want to be a welcomed member of the Flickr community, then take 2 seconds and upload a picture for your icon.

"Sometimes a certain person enters your life at just the right moment ... for me, this person was Steven.
I received my camera as a Christmas gift (to myself, nonetheless) a couple years ago. At the same time, a friend of mine introduced me to this little site (I'm sure you've all heard of it) called Flickr. Well, I would really like to thank them for that, however I'm sure my husband's thank you speach would be a bit different. ;) I came across Steven's stream shortly thereafter, and have been hooked to it -- and his amazing work -- ever since.
This is a message I recently SENT to Steven because, at the time, I was unable to actually leave him a testimonial ... ;)
" I'm pretty sure I asked for your advice on this contest, way back when, so I thought I'd let you know that my image was chosen as one of the 37 winners (out of 1500 submitted photographs) -- the blurb is in my photostream (check it out when you have time, it's pretty sweet).
Seeing as I get so much of my photographic inspiration from you ... I just wanted to personally say "thank you" for helping me grow as a photographer. Your work is a true inspiration to me, absolutely amazing in every jaw-dropping way and I can only hope to be half as good as you are ... some day. If I can be that, than I'll know I have done just fine. "
Steven -- YOU are an INCREDIBLE photographer with TALENT BEYOND WORDS! I am honoured to get to see your work on a daily basis and, to call you (be it just in Flickr) a friend."21st July, 2010

{no rest for the wicked} says:
"Steven is an incredible photographer and his works have given me enormous inspiration. He has mastered a stunning range of shots, from landscapes to portraits, from architecture to interiors, from candid scenes to macros. His compositions are extraordinary, and his unique tones and play with DoF are legendary. Perhaps more significantly, Steven is a very personal photographer. Every shot has a bit of his life and character embedded in it. He shoots from joy, and every one of his photos radiates this spirit. Furthermore, despite his great success and hectic life, Steven remains an amazingly down-to-earth individual who, somehow, finds the time to visit and chat with even the lowliest of us would-be artists.
Most importantly, though, Steven loves candy and cookies--and he's never stingy but always willing to share his loot with the rest of us."21st May, 2010

'Carmen' (so busy) says:
"I first came across Steven Brisson while looking at a mutual contacts “favourites”.
The image that caught my eye was chocolate chip cookies and milk….
I’ve wanted to write a testimonial for Steven for some time now, I’ve written
and re-written with much frustration, nothing sounded quite right.
The one constant in all my re-writes was the word, “Brilliant”.
In the thesaurus under “brilliant” they should also have “Steven Brisson”
In part it reads as follows:
Very intelligent
Synonyms: accomplished, bright, clever, discerning, gifted, ingenious, intellectual, inventive, knowledgeable, masterly, quick-witted, sharp, smart, talented…
Need I say more?
I think not!
Thank you for inspiring me Steven…and thank you for chocolate chip cookies and milk!
Carmen"23rd April, 2010

imdna... says:
"Steven, Steven, Steven, that's all I see on the page... oh yeah, its his profile page... seriously, Steven is a rock solid photographer, every shot shows that his vision is trained with or without the camera to be framing and composing and admiring shape and light, and that comes through with consistency that is certainly admirable and, if I might say, enviable... and with his skillful processing the art is always flowing off the screen when looking at his stream...
Add to his photography his daily quotes, prose, and humor and you find yourself looking forward to his every post...
And finally, the man himself, Steven is a thoughtful friend and a generous soul, which is not always easy to find... his comments on others streams always show that he is truly thinking about the image, not just saying a quick "Great Job, Joe", but really expressing something he finds of quality in the work... in other words, he's a pretty cool dude..."23rd March, 2010

Anthony Vitale [Gobble Monster] says:
"Steven Brisson's photographs never ceases to amaze or inspire or provoke thought or emotion. The way he combines image and text - sometimes even brief stories - invites the viewer to interact with his work in a way that only deepens one's interpretation and response. One cannot stop by his stream and look at only one picture. His always interesting choice of subjects and his control of light, color and depth of field all combine to demand the repeated viewing and exploration of his photographs. Viewing his stream is a master class in itself. There are few photographers whose work is as consistently excellent as Steven's is. Simply put, his work is incredible, day in and day out."

Lynda Murtha ~ says:
"Steven's images seem to do something not all images do. They bring back our own memories. A special night in a restaurant; the dessert you couldn't resist; the candyshop; the romantic walk on the beach; fall. But Steven Brisson is not just a masterful photographer. On that we all agree. Steve is also a very generous man. I've picked his brain several times, and he's never hesitated to share his considerable knowledge with me--a rank amateur. I feel privileged to have Steve as a Flickr friend. He inspires me to do better. To try harder. And I can always count on a treat when Steve posts his latest work - something I look forward too daily. Thanks for the memories Steve."

robynsrussell says:
"Steven ... what can I say about my friend Steven. First of all, I don't think there's anything he can't do, especially when it comes to photography. He's the guy that can sing the telephone book, sorta speak. He can photograph just about anything and make it look interesting and more importantly beautiful. He manages to capture rich tones with a vibrancy that echoes his passion for life.
His photos are real. They speak to the heart and they pull on ALL of your senses. Whether he's photographing flowers in their purest form, scenic landscapes, inanimate objects, or my personal fave -- heavenly bites ... he will always leave you wanting more and he never fails to please! And if that isn't enough, he's probably one of the sweetest guys on Flickr! Thanks for letting us into your world Steven!! It's been a pleasure getting to know you through your photographs!"18th February, 2010

"What can you say about Steven Brisson?
brilliant.
He sees life through his own amazing lens , his artistic eyes.
The way he processes images makes you want to sit up
close to the screen, just to be encompassed by the beauty
and originality of them. You are drawn into a world of
decadent food, attempting not to drool on your keyboard.
Then introduced to ordinary objects as if by magic they come
to life i a way we never had seen.
Not to mention that he has a heart as big as his talent.
A true professional that actually cares.
Steve, you are a gem. And we are richer by knowing you.
:)"18th February, 2010

"Allow me to gush a little bit about Steven for a few minutes…
We all know him as the ‘Front Page King’, but Steven is also truly one of the kindest and friendliest people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting here on Flickr. He’s witty, charming, and always there to offer an encouraging word. He has an artist’s vision, and his passion for this hobby shines through in every photograph that he takes. His photography is powerful & dynamic, with an incredible attention to detail, and his signature style is recognizable in an instant.
Steven has been a huge inspiration to me on my own photographic journey thus far, and I’m grateful to him for so generously sharing his art here on a daily basis.
À vous, Monsieur Brisson!"16th February, 2010

"I am so glad that I found Steven's work - he is such an inspiration and with every new upload I find something new to appreciate about his extraordinary talent. He has a wonderful eye for compositions, details and lines, and creates such dynamic images through his unique perspective of the everyday. Besides creating well-composed photos, Steven always seems to convey an emotion or mood in each one. Whether that mood is power, melancholy, nostalgia or sensitivity, he has mastered the art of combining great processing with great composition to create passionate works of art.
Thank you Steven, for sharing your gift and for keeping us all inspired and on our toes! :)"24th October, 2009
