  "When I started on flickr myself as a "lucky" snapshooter new to photography a long long eight months ago, it seemed to make sense to add every other "lucky" snapshooter within a 2000 km radius of my adopted city as a contact. Some of these contacts have vanished into mediocrity without trace, others have siezed the opportunity Flickr has presented them for honing their craft. Don definitely falls into the latter category. While there are some fantastic China-based photojournalists, LOMO-fiends and B&W documentary junkies floating around flickr, I don't consider it hyperbole to state that Don is now possibly THE photographer on Flickr for coolly presenting the minutae of glossy modern life in China amid its state of constant flux."

  "It has been amazing to see Don's development as a photographer. As someone who came new to the world of serious picture taking not long ago, he has advanced by leaps and bounds. I know this from keeping an eye on his Flickr stream, but was given a strong jolt of a reminder of how dedication and passion drive great photography by his ongoing show at Arch in Shanghai. If you are in town, be sure to see it. The images look fantastic in their printed form. If you're not in town, well, at least we can count on there being more shows from Don in future. One more thing that needs to be said, Don is a generous spirit and great guy."

  "All I can say is wow!! I can't believe I've missed this photostream this whole time I've been on Flickr. Very moody stuff that is extremely well lit and composed. Thanks for sharing your craft... good thing you switched to lenses or the world would never see your perspective of Shanghai."

  "I am observing his work from the other side of the world. His eyes are set on Shanghai but when you look deeper you get a wider view. You find a very unique person behind the viewfinder. Much more than you might get at a first glance. He contributes his personal visions to a community that shares viewpoints and helps building a www. visual culture in times of Web 2.0 and you can feel that his look at life comes from a painter full of passion. Happy to call us friends by inspiring us vice versa consistently. I recommend his work to be viewed carefully. It can only help to make our minds expand."

  "I am quite impressed with theshanghaieye's straight forward "eyes" toward the people and the city of Shanghai. There are not much exaggerations nor decorations in the images I see, but what's more important is that I see the truthness from every single shots. Shanghai is the place where I have my own obsession, and I feel so much pleasure to observe the "truth" of this city on this photostream!
  The latest "Nanjing Road" series is a wonderful set to start the journey!"
