  "There are thousands of magnificent photographers on flickr but Paul's work stands out. Paul's stream on flickr is the only one I've found to be constantly original - true art. He might actually just be my favorite photographer on flickr."

  "So Paul has basically become one of my favorite photographers/illustrators/designers/etc. on flickr. His work is always original, and always looks amazing. His ideas are simple enough to work, yet complex enough to make you think. His series are all brilliant, and he's definitely a huge inspiration."

  Vamoos says:

  "It's difficult to speak to the personal qualities of a best friend in a flickr testimonial, so I'll save that for a Hallmark card or a few too many gin and tonics and use this space to discuss his photography prowess. Paul simply sees things different than anyone else. My trips shooting with him have confirmed this; what look like tire tracks or a pool float to normal people glimmer with texture and nuance to him. However, just seeing the world differently isn't enough to make someone a great photographer. What sets Paul apart, and what I admire most about him, is his ability to transform effectively and with ease what he sees in his mind's eye into something tangible. That is the definition of true creativity and of an artist."

  "I saw Paul's work on Threadless and started looking at his other photography. What I didn't realize is that this guy is a photographic genius. His work inspires me to be a better photographer and strive for excellence. The way he presents the subject matter, lighting, and color choices always imresses me. Thanks Paul! You are the man!"

  "I guess you have "enough" of these testimonials, but I have to :)
  
  Dunny is one of my favorite photographers, ever. I wish I could fave all of his shots and tell how much I love each one of them (but he would just think Im totally insane) I watch all of his photos and they always makes me feel something. The colors he gets out of photos are amazing. And he's such a funny dude, and very kind. *kisses*"

  "I am not a gifted enough writer to accurately describe the amazing talent that is Paul Octavious. I will say that every time I come to Flickr I rush to his pool hoping for a new installment of visual candy, like a kid rushing to the ribbon covered bike under the tree on Christmas morning. I will be able to say that I knew him way back when =)"

  "I don't know Dunny at all. Yet as far as his works, I'd call him CameraPolice. His creative and playful originality is not just inspirational or intriguing; nor do his works just invite you or even challenge you to photography. His sets, puffin clouds being my favourite, punch you in the eye and leave you regretting non-creative laziness."

  "The word 'stunning' isn't strong enough... The word 'amazing' isn't strong enough... The word 'creative' isn't strong enough... All these words won't never be strong enough to describe Dunny's whole little World... I'm a fan, i'm an aficionados! And as we could tell in french: 'wow, ça déchire vraiment c'que tu fais mec !'"

  "Paul is fast developing into one of the best photographers on Flickr. He sees things in a unique way and captures/creates some of the most stuningly engaging images I've seen.
  
  His people pictures are wonderfully "connected" and full of life, his self portraits are amazingly creative, and his grasp of low-key is already up there with the very best."

  "Whatever I say won't change anything or anyones perception to Dunny's work. I just want you to know that after finishing university and feeling stuck in Limbo, Dunny's work alone has encouraged me to get off my ass and do what inspires me! Thanks man, outstanding work, the most original and vibrant imagery on flickr. xxx"

  "There's a sense of realism and excitement in Dunny's photos that's hard to achieve. His candids are crisp, emotive, and revealing. They're beautiful, but harsh, cutting right down to the reality of everyday life. It's a treat to check out Dunny's photostream every day."

  "I am so thankful, that Paul commented on my work because it gave me a chance to discover his, and boy am I impressed. So I read on his profile that he's only 22 and I say, NO WAY! His work has got some really old soul to it, a maturity way beyond his years. You must have been born an artist, Paul!"
