"Paul is an amazing artist.
Before I joined Flickr, I was searching the internet for inspiration for a macro competition and I found Licht~~~.
His pictures astounded me and I found myself visiting his Photostream every day.
I joined Flickr December 2008 and the first person I made as a contact was Paul.
His pictures are wonderful, magical, colourful and technically excellent. Usually each one is a favourite!!
Thanks for the Inspiration.
Kind Regards,
Malcolm."23rd March, 2009

"In the matter of photography Licht~~~~ is one of my unreachable ideals, who are an important inspiration for my own progress. Many of his photos could belong to one of those famous high gloss photo magazines. I admire his ability to capture a single moment and to transfer this trice in to an impressive treasure. An exceptional talent - just what I call an artist.

"Paul is an imaging genius with a tenacious appetite for mastering photographic techniques and styles. I have had such a great time watching him create the most diverse and fascinating portfolio of photos I have encountered on flickr. His range of expertise runs the full gamut, from film cameras to the most advanced digital darkroom techniques.
I have learned so much from Paul, and he is very generous with his time and knowledge. He even showed me how to run a flickr group!
Thanks for being a great flickr friend, Paul, and for sharing your creative, insightful and beautiful impressions of our wonderful world via flickr."22nd July, 2008

_Anaya_ says:
"It is always an absolute treat to visit Licht's photo stream. The fractal art, the macro work, the colors, and refractions...the list goes on! I never know what I'm going to find when I show up over here, and I'm always, always delighted! I also very much appreciate all the hard work that goes in to running photo contests, and as long as his list of contacts is, he's always very attentive. The contests at Nature is Lovely are always run so smoothly, and with lots of participation! In short, it is my pleasure to have Licht on my contact list, and to view his very diverse body of work! (Do ~not~ miss the Infrared folder...you'll be cheating yourself!!)"

"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. [Antoine de Saint-Exupery].
For me, Licht's work defines the standard of perfection. Choose any image on his stream and you will find that all components of the image have been achieved to the peak of perfection. There is nothing more to add and nothing more to remove. Perfection."1st May, 2008

Thank you for your encouragements & motivations.
You are great.
I appreciate it....."19th July, 2007
