"Todd has not only become a great friend here on Flickr, but a true inspiration for this budding photographer. His photos constantly challenge me to strive for improvement and think outside of the box while never forgetting to have fun with it at the same time.
He has way of pouring emotion into and provoking thoughts with his photos that not many can master and causes new grooves to form in the gray matter of anyone viewing. Looking through his photostream is like going on a journey into the man himself.
He's also got excellent taste in music and I would probably have a blast looking through his catalog all the while having him marvel at this youngin's knowledge of "older" music.
So thanks Todd! I look forward to more photos and hope one day to be lucky enough to shoot with you."30th July, 2008

"TW Has an affiliation with nature that is evident in his photography. His love of people , animals, places and just a good laugh shine through. Not only does he capture things with ease , poise and a touch of class , his skills to get you to keep coming back to see more makes him worth having as a contact. A great man, great photographer and to all he meets a great friend."

"TW first of all is a great friend. A true, warm, generous character with a wonderful sense of humour and a sensitive side a mile wide. All of these qualities shine through in his photography.
Beyond his amazing technical and artistic skill (which shines through in everything he does) the personal touches and motivations behind TW's photos always inspire a smile, a belly laugh, even a tear.
There is always something to delight in TW's photostream. Do yourself a favour and take a wander through his garden, you'll leave with a new sense of wonder and a boost to your inspiration batteries."12th April, 2008

"MONSIEUR TW COLLIS' PHOTO,
Is Art works - It's like a sky full of stars, some brighter than
others ( always dificult to see all at once ).
After all we are all somehow a star ; but sometimes one is
brighter than another ( let's face it... ) I just try to point out
with my finger what I believe to be VERY VERY shiny. Creative and
FULL of Surprises......PLEASE, Take a look.....
that's all. Thank you
Andre Furlan, lost at sea........."10th February, 2008

"Todd seems so modest in his photography. I can't help but wait for the next picture he delivers...we all know by now that it's gonna be good...Todd, keep snapping and making us come back for more!"

"Todd wears his heart on his sleeve and his photos always give you something to think about or smile about - whether he's wowing us with the man-made and natural beauty he sees, creating vintage-style photos, putting Atlanta underwater (literally!) with his editing skills, or sharing the people and animals he adores. Todd's love for his city, friends and family, and photography shine through in all of his pictures. I always look forward to his next creation!"

""Daughter Jaye, a Philosopher, resides in Niagara Falls where she inspires with effortless, undemanding style."
Oops, wrong blurb... Same sentiment!
TW's style is inspirational, and his photostream is like Niagara Falls. It is beautiful, fun, sometimes misty and it can be loud, but it always leaves me with a feeling of wonder."23rd August, 2007
