"Your Educator portraits are strong. The personality shot of Kevin O'Callaghan is great! I was expecting and hoping that the Billy video would spin, like a pin-wheel. Maybe next time! Like the minimalist feel in environment and color. TYJ"

"Finally! Someone who appreciates the beauty of the male body both in static positioning and in supple, sensuous movement. I checked this site everyday for two years. You are the best so far."
