"I am very envious of the fact that he shot Jack's Mannequin once a month for the past three months.
And he deserves to because he is so talented and passionate for what he does. Other than professional, he is an awesome person for being so down to earth replying every single comment he gets. And I find myself looking forward for his shots, checking the site whenever I am possible, at school or home.
Real inspiration."29th September, 2008

"It's rare to find such a talented and decorated photographer nowadays that has the patience and personality to individually respond to each and every comment or snippet of praise his photos earn. Todd is always willing to share techniques and tips to help amateurs gain success in the pit. Each time I think every possible angle or emotion could be captured, Todd whips another ace out of his sleeve. I hope to have the privilege of shooting a show next to him again soon!"

"I think it is about time I say something in here. I love looking into live music photography and this is a place you are not going to fail to find the most amazing shots.
Todd, has a special gift when it comes to it. All the shots are carefully composed, greatly exposed and with so much feeling in them.
One other thing...he is always ready to help us to learn and exchange his knowledge in many ways.
Thanks for the inspiration and great work you display in this place."31st March, 2008

"Ew... Todd's making the best live performances pictures i ever seen actually. I'm watching a lot of people doing that, cuz, well, i'm very interested by that kind of pics, also that's what i like doing much more than the others shoots. Todd's very talented, he's working a lot, he switches with few lenses to get fkin differents views with subtility, i'm really really surprized by every single pictures he post right here right now & on his portfolio/blog. Keep doing like dat Todd, day after day, little by little i wanna drop my gear, left Canon and going Nikon with the D3, this camera's really powerful.
Oh, yeah ppl, gear don't do the shoot, however in live performanes set, it helps a lot, i don't wanna say Todd without good gear cannot do anything, of course, his eye's really good, he's very talented.
Keep doin' mate."12th March, 2008
