    Leaca's Philosophy says:

    "Some of the greatest images on flickr come from Rach's photostream. No exaggeration. She post some stellar images quietly without a lot of hoopla and they steal my heart. She is truly a unique artist."

    Extra Medium says:

    "Rachel never wanted a tattoo of a donkey, and it was hard for me to convince her to leave the parlor without one. Then again at midnight there isn't much to do in Spokane, and she was visibly upset about something and thought this was a good way to gain a level head again. It was only luck I ran in to her because my helicopter was late dropping me off and I had to run to the record store before the midnight release of the new NSync album. I missed the midnight opening, but gained a friend in return, saving her left shoulder from a donkey. We stood outside that tattoo parlor for 17 hours talking about our favorite comic books and how to make treasure maps out of soiled canvas. This led to our discussion of how a good photographer is one that can shoot a unique portrait as well as a landscape using the same techniques. Lucky for both of us, the courts allowed us to access the internet again, and we've shared many-a-comment on each others photos on here."

    "Rachel~
    Gosh Rach is AMAZING! Her photos are breathe-taking, colorful and inspiring. She has a way with the camera that allows you to see how and what she is feeling. She is so amazing with her PP and on top of that she doesn't keep that knowledge she shares it with the world. She is an awesome designer, photographer and friend.

    "did you ever knooooooow that you're me heeeeeeee-ro? you're everything i wish i could beeeeeee...

    bette midler is my idol. and rachel has talent beyond anything that i can even express. a kind heart, a joyful spirit, and a profound creative gift.

    it's impossible to confine her work to one specific box, because she does it all... so effortlessly, so gracefully.

    i want to be rach when i grow up. we have the same camera... one day i'll learn how to use it as she does. :P"

    "I love looking at your shots, and it's crazy to say this but I can sometimes feel exactly what you felt when you took a shot or you make me breathless...I love when you've shared pictures with me and I always look forward times when we can do it again....you really inspire me a lot....and also have made me want to go out and grab another cam....a high priced cam so i can capture "feelings" in time...

    "Rachel inspires me, simple as that. She can go from landscape to portraits to abstract and be perfectly at ease in the transition. Her portraiture is lovely and her landscapes are unique and breathtaking. What I love most is her ability to capture something seemingly ordinary and turn it into art. AND...she gives great advice to beginners like me :-)"

    "Rachel has a reliable sense of atmosphere and chromatics. Her photographs of landscapes, beauty spots and the ocean are very atmospheric...they are exciting and very expressive. I fell in love with the light, colors and mood in her pictures of the Pacific Ocean. Rachel is a great portrait photographer as well. Her children's photographs, especially of her cute daughter are wonderful. Rachel knows her business and photographically, her portraits are not only well-composed and technical succesful, but created with loving care as well. It's always exciting and impressive to see her photos in my contact list and I'm looking forward to get to see more of her beautiful pictures."
