This is my world, my vision showing who I am today and who I aspire to be tomorrow.

Some of the images in my stream are photos from NGO's that I've either volunteered for, freelanced for, or ones that are of interests to me. I hope to add more to my collection as time progresses. There's nothing more rewarding to me than to share the compassions of others through my photos.

    "I have to confess that the first time that I bumped into Samantha's photo stream what called my attention was her beauty since in that time she used to make a lot of self portraits. II found these images captivating both from a technical point of view as from a aesthetic point of view. However, little by little I have discovered the true Samantha. The woman that has a huge heart devoted to help a lot of people in need. To this respect, she is an example for all of us.

    Her black and white photography is outstanding, specially her portraits. Her exquisite taste is a constant feature in all her work.

    Sam, I am very proud of being one of your Flickr friends."

    "Samantha is an artist.
    She paints....very well.
    She takes photographs....beautiful ones.
    She models......and she's gorgeous.
    But more than all those talents, she has a gift - compassion.
    She is kind, and has devoted a lot of her time, efforts, and I'm sure money to help the cause of poor, under-privileged children all over the world. She helps raise awareness to the plight of these unfortunate kids. She taught them photography, and use photographs taken by them, and of them to show the world, and to evoke their compassion.
    Sam....I salute you! Keep up the great work!
    And on a lighter note...please give us more of your gorgeous self-portraits!"

    "So I was just looking around, and I realized that I had not taken my place on this list. I have known Samantha for a while now, and I am ashamed that I have not taken the time out to profess my love for her soul and her love for all things humanity. Her work has inspired me to be a better person, to be more than just some guy with a camera, but to notice the world around me, to see it all, to pay attention. If only one day to lay claim to one percent of whatever it is that makes Samantha what she is, It is a day I long for....I am inspired by her work , and humbled by the honesty of her life. Anyone with a camera can take pictures, but very few are true artist....

    "What can I say about Sam that hasn't been said by all of those who have written a testimonial before me? Well, I can tell you she's a true friend with a heart of gold and unlimited talent. That she thinks of others and puts herself last far more than most, and way more than she should. That she works exhaustively for what she believes in and always puts her money where her mouth is. She's a solid, sweet person and this Earth is better for her being here.

    Thanks for being you, Sam."

    "Sam is one of the few really GREAT people I had the pleasure meeting on flickr who really deserve this term. Not only because there's just this certain Greatness about her, or for the things she does, her amazing artistry, the incredible selfportraiture, or her tremendous dedication to humanity, children in particular, by giving them hope; there are also her wonderful and kind ways. She is one of the few people that do great things and yet are amazingly thankful for the small things. I think that is what makes someone very special. 'You can do great things with great talent, but you deserve much greater love when you do great things with great love.'

    Sam, I'm wishing you all the love you can get in your life and all the best on your further path of life!

    Sincerely,
    Yves"

    "someone found something evil in Sam's pictures. "Parce que", the name of one picture, shocked people, they saw some kind of devil in the person being photographed. That person was Sam.
    I immediately felt there was something wrong in their vision. It was a scary picture indeed, blood came out of her mouth like she was a vampire, but more important: the viewers were drawn into the mystery of this image. This photo hit us like a very weird hammer.
    Sam makes very dramatic pictures, she's a photographer and a model creating amazing portraits. The model is breathtaking, beautiful or scary. Depends on the idea behind the picture. But the more you look at her pictures, the more you get convinced Sam is a great artist, a beautiful woman, and most important : a wonderful person. Her work with kids living in the dirt is amazing, she deserves the greatest respect possible. Thank you Sam, for sharing your art and personality with us."

    Sam is undoubtedly a beautiful person and her self portraits are among the best. Her work always astounds me. But what I love and admire more is her beautiful heart and sense of the world. She is talent and loveliness all rolled into one special person. Many people talk the talk but Sam actually does what she aspires to do in her world and not many people can do that. I utterly admire your talent and your humanity.

Speaking of gifts, I consider it a gift when life presents that moment when you meet good people like you, Sam. It’s hard to believe that 7 years have gone by since we first met yet it’s not hard to believe how much you have achieved since then. Your work ethic in the classroom and behind the camera is exemplary. Your kindness and dedication to your family, friends, students and your cause is notable. Your vision is admirable which is plain to see here on flikr.

    I’ve enjoyed viewing your work and I’m taken back to that first invite to view your very personal expressive journey of self which has metamorphosed into your selfless acts of kindness in LOVE. Sam, thanks for inviting me on that trail that you continually blaze. I’m so proud to call you my friend.

    Love,

    "Sammi girl {what I like to call her} is someone special. VERY special. I know she runs deeper than her outward beauty. Sammi has many layers to her that few see.

    I adore her self portraits to no end. They are completely complimentary to her true beauty.

    BUT, it's her soul I adore. It's her soul that I see in her shots of children who lack the very fundamentals of life that we have in abundance. It's her ability to give, to express, to help, to serve unselfishly that tells me that her soul is good. She is a chosen vessel here, and I am proud, humble even, to call her my friend.

    I know I can learn so much from her. From the simple things as trying new ways to shoot, use texture and imagination. And, then there's the other part she teaches me....how to serve others."

In stead of sitting on her (no doubt shapely) butt, she goes out in the world to make a change. She's got my vote for president.

    " Before I mention her work, I'd like to express how wonderful Miss Samantha is as a person. I've never seen anyone so hardworking and dedicated to her causes as Sam, and I honestly think she is a much stronger person than she gives herself credit for. Clear evidence of this can be seen in her heartbreaking captures of everyday life in Nicaragua.
    Sam's also a beautiful and intelligent lady whose comments always help me improve, and make me smile. She always goes out of her way to help me with technical difficulties with my images, and for that I am very grateful :)
    She also a very talented photographer, and I love her diversity in styles, from delicate self portraits, and fabulously textured illustrative images to the often stark and touching photojournalism of her charity work.

    I'm always jealous of her creativity and spirit!"

She has a great intuitive feel for interesting, unique, but still accessible composition. Her pictures are always top notch technical quality, her post processing is best in class, and to cap it all, she is a beautiful model in her own right.

    permets moi d'écrire quelques mots en Français pour rendre hommage à ta bibliothèque de photos sur Flickr.
    Je ne suis qu'un débutant en photos et j'espère bien m'améliorer mais je ne peux que constater que tes portraits sont chque fois plus incroyables.
    Je commence avoir de nombreux contacts flickr qui sont tous ou presque très doués pour la photgraphie mais parmis ceux qui font des selfportraits, je crois que tu détiens la palme.
    Chaque fois tes portraits me paraissent géniaux.
    Certes tu es une très belle femme mais je pense que chaque amateur de photos pourra le confirmer, la beauté seule ne suffit pas pour faire de la photographie.
    Je crois sincèrement que tu as atteinds un niveau de composition qui te permet de prétendre au titre de photographie professionnelle en portrait.
    Je te souhaite donc beaucoup de réussite à l'avenir et continues de nous servir de modèle et d'inspiration à nous, les nouveaux passionnés de cette forme d'art qu'est la photographie.

    PS: j'ai cru comprendre en suivant tes post sur flickr que tu comprenais et parlais le Français, j'espère ne pas m'être trompé :-) Je rééditerai ce testimonial en Anglais si celà s'avère nécessaire.

    Amicalement.

    many compliments!

    Thanks for your shots

    Michele"

    "Sam is a force of nature- pushing and changing like wind or an incredible sprout. Her willingness to risk in art, career, and in life is a proverb in why not to settle for anything. Ever. She'll never stop changing, She's never "done". Watch her images and where she goes to capture them, and be inspired to do the same."

    "I feel honoured & privileged to be the very first person, (the first of many I predict!) to compose a Testimonial for Samantha here. It goes without saying that her Self Portraits are outstanding. So carefully composed, so well planned & executed, & breathtakingly beautiful. What I really like about Sam is this. She is totally open to advice on how she can improve as a photographer. She never let's the dreaded Ego interfere. That is the sign of an open minded person if ever there was one. As for her Beauty? Well, it is there for all to see & wistfully admire. Yet her outer beauty is I believe, eclipsed by her inner beauty, most notably in her compassion for others. See her profile? She is embarking on a very selfless & I am sure life changing adventure, to teach photography to underprivileged children in Central America. I for one will avidly follow her progress in Nicaragua as she updates her progress in word & image on her blog, which can be accessed right here. I hope you do too..."
