    California CPA says:

    "As his user name implies - thelightgatherer - (Michael) really knows what he is doing with setting up off camera lighting. As you can see from his stream his work is professional grade and a constant reminder that I need to take the dust of my flash and practice some more. Not only is his photography an inspiration but he is an awesome Optometrist. I am lucky to live relatively close to his work and was able to take my son to get new glasses. I cannot recommend him enough, thanks Michael!"
