Testimonials (14)

Kitscherika / Erika Grima Hawkins says:

"Just as cool in front of a camera as his behind it."

DeadBetty in Hawaii says:

"Walt gets me. And I get him. At least photography wise. Good stuff. Entertaining, interesting, carnivore friendly. That's really all you need. First testimonial written while intoxicated. How did I do? :D"

mord says:

"I didnt do the Walt meister a testy, sorry :( Walt makes me wish I came from Bristol, but I am sure we are both happy we live in Cardiff, I have only met him twice and he was a cool as I thought he would be, his photos keep getting better and what I like most is he is taking great photos of art that wont be around us for long, so he is documenting graffiti history, he is the king of Impermanence. And we need to get together again one day soon :)"

big bozo says:

"Walt has not bought me a pint yet but when he does i will shout his praises from the highest point of the pennines. Everyone should check out his work, its inspirational."

Watt_Dabney says:

"I hold this person partly responsible."

16th May, 2008
Skarlagh says:

"Saw Walt for first time in ages and he bought a pint so thought i should write a testimonial... I can't believe he takes such good photos!"

"`cheers for the support! a Cool guy is walt!"

31st December, 2007
Bernard Matthews says:

"I like Walt and he likes Megadeth too which is surprising cos he is old now.
Hes a good bloke."

10th November, 2007
World of Oddy says:

"He takes good photos and isn't as old as he thinks he is. (I pressed the 'block' button instead of 'add testimonial'. That would've been terrible)"

11th September, 2007
(Andrew) says:

"There once was a man, named Steve, who showed us what Cardiff looked like through his prospective, and also loves ska. He goes by Walt Jabsco, and lives billions and billions of miles away from me."

16th July, 2007
lhourahane says:

"You wouldn't think such a hirsute person could take such good photos - his fringe getting in the way, and all that - but with the aid of hair clips and slides, Steve takes very decent piccies, and I recommend you examine each of them carefully."

Welsh Icons (Dom) says:

"What a star! If you want a Ska beat telco with a heavy, heavy beat he's your man."

big al davies says:

"Ska boy Walt has a groovy eye,
From Dr Who to Pandaboy,
He spent some cash on a DSLR,
To take his art on old Flickarrr ,(I know),
So take your time and view this stream,
Some ultra real, some like a dream,
You won't regret it, it's worthwhile,
It's guaranteed to raise a smile.

No, I didn't work for a greeting card company but I am available at a reasonable rate."
