  "Howard is one of the most talented people that I have found on Flickr and a good friend to boot. He is incredibly knowledgeable and willing to share his knowledge with those of us who are new to photography. His work is more than just a Photograph, it is an experience! His sunsets and landscapes and everything in between are so spectacular that you forget that you are looking at a picture. I hope to learn as much as I can from him and I always look forward to seeing each new creation of his.
  
  Thank you Howard for being an awesome friend and teacher.

  "So let me tell you just how Spiffy howard is. Firstly, he's an incredibly generous man. (Howard, you are AMAZING & I'm very thankful for the wonderful pro account opportunity you've given me!! :D) He's one of my top favorite & most viewed Flickr mates. Why? Psh, have you given so much as a glance at his stream? There you go! His photography is undebatably & breathtakingly flawless. His kind words & reassuring input will most definitely bring a smile to your face. He's one of a kind, and his immeasurable talent motivates me to be a better photographer. He may not know it, but I'm telling all of you that this man inspires the crap out of me :p See for yourself & I promise you, he'll never let you down.
  
  Another thing, if I could fave every single one of his photos without looking like a total creeper, I would, haha. :)"

  "Dear Howard,
  
  Since the moment you added me as a contact you soon became one of my favourite Flickr contacts, and besides that I'm happy that I can call you a friend.
  Your work always surprises me: the variety of subjects, the vivid and lively colours and the natural post-processing make your work so much fun to look at. But the most important thing is that your work really shows your passion for photography.
  
  You always leave thoughtful and helpful comments which show that you're genuinely interested in the work of others and this makes you stand out.
  
  You're one of the people I met on Flickr that inspires me and I feel a lot of people can learn from you, including myself.
  You're a wonderful photographer and a wonderful person, and I hope to be able to enjoy all of your future work!
  
  Keep clicking!"

His photos are flawless and inspiring... especially to those of us who are new to the world of photography! I look forward to every photo that he uploads. Despite a busy schedule and incredible talent, he still takes the time to offer encouragement and comments on my photos! Thanks for being a great Flickr friend Howard!"

  "The most amazing thing about Howard is his ability to capture and bring out the best qualities of a scene in front of him and the people he is photographing. Having known him for almost a year, I have seen him develop into an amazing photographer over such a short time. Though he can be a bit rough on himself at times, he is of the mindset that you should be constantly trying to learn and develop skills in your daily work. I completely agree; Howard has, on several occasions, asked me questions I have not known the answers to. This has been a wonderful way to learn, giving me confidence and helping me move forward in areas that I never though existed or possible with my frames. Finding the answers to photography's difficult questions is what Howard is all about; he lives for details and that technical stuff! I can see Howard continuing his craft *way* beyond what he is doing now; he definitely has a gift for portraits and capturing the best in people. He has truly been a great friend and contact!"

  "How can I express my respect for Howard and his photography?
  it isnt easy, but i can say he is an inspiration for me.
  when i look at his bright style, at his unique night shots, at his warm portrait i feel there's a lesson to learn! More than this Howard is a friend... yeah we are far way (Italy - Ohio!!) but through our photos we are so close! thank you Howard, for everything!"

  "I think maybe it must be the water...
  
  Howard is one of a group of wonderful photographers that center around Lorain, Ohio. I've been friends with his wonderful wife, and his mother-in-law and father-in-law for quite some time.
  
  Howard may have been the last of this group to have caught the photo bug, but he's certainly made up for lost time. His progress shows that he's always been a natural photographer and he now captures images that have no superior.
  
  His recent series of sunsets by the Lorain Lighthouse are as vivid in color and crisp in detail as any sunsets I've seen. With his wife Holly, they definitely make the most talented couple on Flickr.
  
  They also show that Canon and Nikon can live together in peace!
  
  Great going, Howard!"

  "I first noticed Howard's photos of Volkswagens and from their our mutual admiration for VDubs has grown into a flickr friendship. I enjoy immensely interacting through flickr with Howard and his wife Holly (Teacherholly) as they are just really nice down to earth people who love photography as much as I do! Howard leaves thoughtful commentary on my photos which I appreciate very much.
  
  Plus Howard has a GTI twin of my car and Holly has the XTi twin of my camera so they totally rock!!"
