  "Once discovered, Tru's photostream quickly became one of my favorites on Flickr. She takes simple objects we all take for granted in daily life and breathes a soft, but vivacious life into them that typifies the definition of art. I don't look at every photo and think of it as art, but Tru definitely blurs that line between technical photographic documentation of reality and an artistic interpretation of reality. You can tell each photo is hand-crafted with a lot of delicate care, and can really see things through her eyes while browsing her stream--it's always an enjoyable experience.
  I've also had the pleasure to work side-by-side with Tru on a wedding we shot collaboratively. Being a first wedding for us both, I had total confidence in the results of her work, and having her as a counterpart help settle my first-time jitters. Now after the experience of working together, I can say she's a true professional, in addition to an artist.
  So....Thank you, Tru! With your talent and hard work, I know you'll be successful in whatever area of photography you choose."

  "As I'm sitting here, I'm wondering why it has taken me this long to write a testimonial for tru.
  this girl has an ability to give meaning to almost anything she photographs. the simplest things she captures are just astonishing. she is one of the sweetest people I know on here and she always takes the time to comment my photos which makes her even more humble than she already is. Just look at one photo and you'll be hooked to her stream. Keep up the amazing work tru, you inspire me :)"

  "Trudy,
  This was long overdue. I mean really long overdue, like since I cheated and showcased you as a Wednesday Contact instead of writing a testimonial long overdue!! Well here it is, better late than never ;-)
  Trudy's work is poetic, each click of her shutter are like beautiful thought out verses. Her captures are imaginative, harmonious, elegant, soft and creative. In her images, Trudy has such a unique way of describing her life and her daily explorations. For lack of better words: this girl rocks!!!
  Trudy is a true flickr friend, and I practically consider her family. She is a wonderful contact and also embodies the true sharing spirit of flickr. Keep up your wonderful work, but limit it to 5 per day... j/k !!!

  "Tru is a constant source of inspiration for me whether she knows it or not. She an exceptional photographer just brimming with creativity, a true artist. I am always blown away by what I come across in her stream. Beginner photographers like myself need more people like her to look up to here on flickr. She is endlessly supportive and kind with her comments and faves. Thank you Tru! :D"

  "Tru is one of the few photographers (artists of any kind, really) who has made me truly see the world anew. I don't think I ever looked closely at wild grass until I came upon her photostream -- and I know I had never before grasped the beauty and magic of wild grass. Her photostream is to photography what Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" is to poetry. In her photos, you can feel the wind, the sun and the magical delicacy of grass -- and everything else she photographs. Her gifts of composition really shine when it comes to her diptychs, which I think are the very best on Flickr. What's more, she is an amazingly generous friend -- whose smart, insightful comments made me feel welcome when I first started Flickr (she was among my very first contacts) and whose comments continue to make me proud to call her my friend."

  "I think Tru is an amazing artist and photographer. She puts so much of her creative spirit in her work that each image she takes tells a story, no matter how complex or how simple the subject matter is. Her style is clean, simple and real; capturing images in amazing light, leaving you wishing you were there."
