  "Describir a PajaroAmarillo, puede ser tan complicado y peligroso cómo describir sus fotos.
  Se puede tener un pre comentario de ella, pero es muy atrevido.
  ¿cómo la conoci? navegando por flickr. Su obra tiene tanto iman que puedo asegurar que a muchos, aun no siendo su estilo de fotografía, se han detenido a observar su obra.
  Muestra de ello la cantidad de gente que tiene agregada.
  
  De mirada a veces perdida, suele estar de labios entre-abiertos, con sus brazos sin ninguna pose elegante, con la mente en el tema de su foto, pero eso si con sus ojos que siempre la adornan.
  
  Espero algún día conocerla, y conocer a esa que para mi ya es una artista.
  
  Saludos
  José Luis"

  "Cari Ann is one of the greatest models & photographers that I have seen here on Flickr; AKA, she is one of the greatest self-portrait artists that I have seen. I love how different her work is compared to a lot of people, and I find all of it so very inspirational and amazing. Even her nonportrait photographs are incredible, and she can make the simplest thing look interesting. She is also one to work wonders with film, not just digital, photography.
  I cant wait to see what else she does.

  "Cari is a true inspirational beautiful artist. She has got to be one of my all time favourite people on here, her work is ever so beautiful. The way she plays with her own images like adding her own bokeh/light is amazing and i respect her so much for it because it just shows how much passion she really puts into it. Whenever i look through her work, i find myself wanting to fave every picture because they all are so breath-taking. She captures beauty so well through-out these images, also she such a lovely girl to speak too. I wish she could see how beautiful her and her work really is. I can't wait to see your next idea sweetie. Best of luck xo"

  "What a nice, conscientious and diplomatic person this young lady is! Patiently responded to my queries/comments that could have got under her skin.
  She needs have no worries at 20 of confidence and doubts. I'll tell you a secret - even people 3 or 4 times that age are not greatly
  confident. Feeling you are not confident at 20 is rather normal.
  
  With this talent at so young an age, the future looks bright for her and others who can enjoy her art and thoughts.
  Peace and love sweetheart. X."

  "Cari’s photographs never fail to amaze me, she is continually finding new ways to see beauty in the world and by capturing these images, she’s letting others see it too. Her photos strike a balance between beauty and mystery—the locations are always breathtaking, her portraits always stunning…essentially, she is an extremely talented artist! She is truly an amazing individual, and you can really tell that she puts a whole lot of heart into her photos, yet she has an intuitive talent & style that really set her apart. Anytime I see that she’s uploaded I can’t wait to see what else she has to show the world. =)"

  a few months back i came across your photos on flickr before i even had an account. i looked through a few pages of your stream, and i couldn't find a single shot i didn't love. i spent days looking at all your work - it completely mesmerized me and ultimately inspired me to start taking photos. now, there is nothing i love more than photography, and i can't imagine my life without it. i can never thank you enough for the incredible amounts of inspiration you've given me. you are a true artist, and you deserve every ounce of success that you've recieved."

  "Wow, Cari. I mean, really. I remember finding you about six months ago and ever since i've just been..OBSESSED with your stream. haha. if that's not weird or anything... But anyway, to those reading this, yyellowbird's photostream is amazingly unique, and organic..and just amazing. Each one is so simple...very real. Nothing to out of the ordinary. Every one of her photos give of this organic feel. Not many people can pull that off. Her photographs tend to give you a story...they make you think..
  Cari, you're definitely going places. And thank you so much for the photoshop advice(: ANYONE WHO DOESN'T APPRECIATE HER PHOTOGRAPHY IS STUPID! so HA! :D
  keep up the good work, girly(: I look forward to seeing more.

  your photographs are already going far and wide. i secretly hope that someday we'll meet in real life and possibly take pictures together! until then i will continue to be inspired by your talent and amazing sense of adventure.

  "hmm, what say about Cari ? She 's actually one of my favourite photographer, i think i'm falling in love with her photos.
  they are so amazing, so incredible, they are just magics. Cari is recreate an art, she is creating a world, her world, a fantastic and marvellous word. she 's creating a fairies tale, where she is a princess.
  
  Well, i'm sorry, my english is so shittyugh because i'm french so sorry.
  
  You know, i can't describe my love for your pics, the beauty of them, so i'll just close my mouth (actually i'll just stopp to write !) because the thrue beauty is silence.
  So keep open your eyes, in silence and admire."

  "Cari is arguably one of the most well known faces on flickr
  there is very little i could say in this testimonial that hasn't been said before about her amazing work but here i go.
  She has the the talent, the vision, and the creative grace.
  She is inspirational, moving, and beautiful.
  She brings to light the beauty in the everyday, the rundown, the bizarre.
  She is, in short, an amazing photographer with her own style, feel, and look.
  thank you so much Cari for sharing your gift with us =D"

We still need to meet up and take pictures girl, and take advantage of living so close!! You are amazing and it shows in your photos.

Her ability to take anything in life, put it in a photo and make it look like a beautiful, professional photograph inspires me.

  "Cari Ann...where do I start? I always find that when I look through her photostream I have picked up my suitcase and been taken on a whilrwind tour. Beautiful colours, flares, bokeh, and a gorgeous softness. I also think her photographs are so special as they celebrate the simplicity of photography...capturing realisic wonders and exploring ( trespassing) ;-) the unknown!
  So yeah, sorry if I feel like a stalker Cari, I just LOVE you're work, and you inspired me to pick up the camera to start with. You're pictures have actually changed my life, and flew me in a direction I would have never tried before. THANK YOU X"

She's gorgeous and has phenomenal work. i'm actually glad that I remembered to write one now, before everyone on flickr does before me. Yep, she's that great.
  
  Shame on you if you don't get motivated to spice up your own work from viewing her stream. I did, and i haven't regretted a second of it.

  "Some of yyellowbird's portrait work is genuinely inspiring. I spend my time trying to edit my pictures to make colours bloom, and yet here, muted pallets bring models and surroundings to life with flecks of light and shimmers of colour. The setups she puts together are otherworldly and always interesting. Yyellowbird shows an acute eye for processing - vintage effects complete these beautiful slabs of postmodernity.
  
  Truly amazing work."

  "yyellowbird is my favorite photographer on flickr. She manages to do something with her pictures that only the truely great photographers are able to do, she creates her own world. It wasn't really until I saw her on facebook that it occured to me she's a real person in the modern world. Like the Noah Slater said, her photos are 'magical'. This is the reason I bought her a pro account, so she could share her gorgeous pictures with everyone."

  "I do not know yyellowbird. I only know her images, which have compelled me to write a testimonial, something I have never before done, as obviously the pictures speak for themselves. Though yyellowbird's photostream is small, it is one of my favorites. The mood and scene she sets in her images is truly fantastic and transports me back to days in my past, days I did not recall, days rummaging through my own Bracken Houses."
