[kren] says:
"He got married. I wanted to be the first one to mention this in a testimonial. Not that I care."

♥ shhexycorin ♥ says:
"The world's second greatest comedy Nazi, after Allo Allo's Herr Flick, striatic is blessed with a rather peculiar walk, that has more than a little to do with over-starching his trousers.

"Iron fist in the velvet glove" is his motto and this is reflected in his dress sense. He's one of the few people who can get away with it without people laughing in his face. Mainly because he's very tall, they generally laugh in his chest.

He also gives the best internet huggles-wuggles. Don't mess with that."

diastema says:
"striatic doesn't live with Santa Claus.

Nevertheless, he is adorable."

The Paper Doll says:
"...he thinks in the same way that cows digest. Information is taken in, digested a bit, brought up again for thought, stowed away, rethought of, compartmentalized, disected, masticated, and finally, after it's been completely divested of all it's components, it makes it's way out again in different form.

I rather like it when it manifests itself visually."

mottsbeats says:
"when i get married he's going to be my bestman"

annappleaday says:
"i fell for "this guy" the first time i spotted him in his bowler ....something about it ..
romantically mysterious:)
i then discovered much later what a wonderfully diverse talent he is ...
nothing ordinary about "this guy" an extraordinary eye is his..
unique.. in all that he does

love "this guy:)
love "this guy's" works of art~!!"

bitmapr says:
"i have come to the conclusion that striatic is, in reality, the spiritual head of flickr. it came to me in a dream.. an epiphany (in which his bowler hat had a pivotal role).

while he does not work for flickr, there can be no contention about this.... like the dalai lama and tibet (ignoring the chinese & exhile).

my next project will be to get him listed in the wikipedia entry for 'Bowler hat' under the 'Famous uses' section."

Shane Clements(¢ħ@¢ħ@¢ħ@1000) says:
"Stri has the sort of mind you envy. Intelligent, creative and experimental. What else do you need as an artist?"

joelf says:
"Like 50cent, his message promotes gun violence. Liberal MPs want him barred from Canada."

photojunkie says:
"Striatic is a great guy and I'm glad he came around to kick my ass into gear. He rocks."

GustavoG says:
"The world needs more people like striatic.

Urgently."

cygnoir says:
"I dedicate the word "antipodean" to striatic because it is one of my favorite words and I know he will take good care of it. Also, he is neat."

selva says:
"Stri is the cat's meow: artistic, full of ideas, and a true romantic. There's no one else whose testimonial list I'd rather be at the top of than his. :)

If making flickr a fun place to be wasn't enough, just get a look at the hat & tie. Hott!"

Molly Wassenaar says:
"I want to be more like striatic. Each and every one of his pictures brings to me a whirl of inspiration and laughter and tears and pure joy. The man himself is a beautiful piece of art, full of odd surprises and one of a kind quirks. Whenever I’m feeling sad I come here to see more of straiatic's pictures… and there’s always more of his pictures to see… and that fact alone inspires me to get outside and take more pictures. And that makes me happy.

Oh yeah, and his girlfriend is such a hottie."

Meer says:
"Word on the street is: "you sound like Bush and Chenny fear monger. I bet your a republican, preacher or 'god fearing' Christian."

How can I be so amiss in waiting this long to leave a testimonial for flickr's first gentleman? If he weren't so techno-ice-hip, I'd claim he was Fred Astaire in disguise."

psychicle says:
"Count me as yet another of striatic's many ardent admirers!"

Arlette says:
"Arbiter of the abstract. Gypsy of the geometric.

Pirate of the air."

Chaplin'sgirl says:
"There is Zen and then there is Striatic..one in the same."

Lathyrus says:
"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same. ------Flavia
Striatic's has stayed a very long while and has left the deepest impression in my heart and my mind. Because of him, over these many years, I have learned so much more than I ever thought I could. His inquistive, always thinking mind has opened so many doors for me. Now that he is far away from home, it has been great to have Flickr where not only do I get to see what he is up to each day but once again I get to partake in the dialogue and the experience of Striatic. I am so pleased that others also see him for the special person he is. On Flickr, it looks like he is leaving footprints on many hearts and minds."

Vanita says:
"Multifaceted as well as striated, this gentleman cuts a large swath. Though a fantastic still photographer, I wonder if he doesn’t have a filmmaker’s soul (...Peter Jackson’s, who called by the way and said he wants his soul back now.) I think this thought about striatic being a closet filmmaker because I know he has training, and of late he has found innovative ways of making still pictures move using the one tool Flickr gives him – the slideshow. For examples see his wonderful “ghostwriter” set, or the group “squared circle.” Moving or still, his photographs amaze me and inspire me. Keen-eyed, he spots what is interesting. He is intelligent, funny, sweet, well spoken, and generous. He’s a wonder and a pleasure to know, albeit virtually. Do you think he has a clone working alongside him? Personally, I cannot figure out how he is in so many places at one time, but I’m glad he is."

txkimmers says:
"What I love about striatic, aside from his considerable wit, is that he has fully twice as many favorites as he has of his own pics."

woodgirl says:
"stri has made flickr a home for my creative mania and one of my first friends in the flickrverse. thank you for helping me with my stupid questions and making me feel at home. oh yeah, your pics rule."

shadowbox says:
"striatic's everywhere on flickr...cranking out great memes and helping to shape the still-evolving public face of this amazing little community."

Trinity says:
"/me gasps and falls over in a swoon

I haven't written a testimonial for striatic yet? What's wrong with me?

He's one of the nicest, most intelligent, and most creative people I know. You can throw any idea to stri, and he'll throw it right back 'atcha with a few dozen improvements, suggestions, and comments, all written neatly in ink and politely phrased. Striatic, to put it simply, rocks."

underbunny says:
"...although we've hardly spoken to each other, I'm strangely fond of him."

fubuki says:
"striatic is a gentleman - and a fine photographer.

i once crossed swords with him in Guernica over a minor semantic disagreement. He dispatched my weapon with an effortless flick(r) of the wrist, retrieved my sword (and my pride) and offered them back. as i recall he spotted me a glass of Jerez to smooth things over.

i would provide a grand jury alibi for Striatic if asked."

jacqueline-w says:
"It's folks like Striatic that make Flickr a community rather than just another online repository of bits. It's not often that you get to meet someone so willing to give anyone a hand, even a total stranger. You're an inspiration, thank you!"

Ching says:
"All I know about Flickr, I learned from Striatic. In chinese movie speak, I'm a lowly grasshopper to his kung fu master. =)"

kid for today says:
"Sharp. Charge. Democracy. Definite. B&W. Technic. Punctuate."

Metahari says:
"This man has a serious sense of style."

jimster says:
"stri is awsome his photos are great"

Damien de Gassendi says:
"Sorry, I will do this in french...
Striatic a des pouvoirs divins !
Toujours Sympa et présent,
Intelligent et passionné, ce genre d'individus est si rare !!!
Ce type est une perle de gentilesse..."

sui generis says:
"when I think of Striatic I think of static electricity....just enough shock to let you know youve been shocked and a possible energy source for the future"

ellipse says:
"Tips for ultimate wonderfulness: Get a hat collection like Striatic."

chicawhappa says:
"striatic is like getting your hair dyed a shocking new colour - takes some getting used to, but then you love it :)
A sweet and creative chap from the gentle vastness that is canada, striatic is the kind of thing you can't help but wish the best for! Here's to you non-bearded buddy!"

Plurp says:
"It appeared to be a simple geometry textbook. Simple, that is, until you saw that it was written entirely in Aramaic."

Iphigénie says:
"Stri is talented, fun to talk to and endlessly interesting... and he's got those gorgeous, gorgeous eyes!"

rvacapinta says:
"Striatic is super-smart, super-talented and unusually wise. His awesome powers would make you afraid if he weren't also very charismatic."

Kallese says:
"He's brilliant, smart, sexy, beautiful, funny, witty, classy, charming and noble...

Striatic knows all the dirty little secrets about my past. And he has links for them too...yeah. I'd say I like him a lot."

Loli says:
"Striatic never fails to make me laugh. Delightfully goofy; I am very happy to be able to call him friend."

Aggrav8d says:
"striactics legendary talents in sealing the deal are only surpassed by his mythic talents in unsealing jars of preserves. You may remember his TV special that ran simulcast on the Playboy, Horror, and Home & Garden networks, "Tap it with a knife." These days he prefers to dedicate himself to helping inner city children achieve their full potential as fiendish supervillans."

DeityErpel says:
"Was very helpful to a n00b like me!"

matt says:
"He has magical powers!"

Stewart says:
"Striatic makes it happen. It is nice to see someone climb aboard, and then start throwing candy off the float."

Desi says:
"He didn't pay me! I wanna be paid!"
