Testimonials
Write a testimonialMike has a solid understanding of the most important element of photography - composition. With this, he has assembled an outstanding collection of work using the simplest of tools! It is a pleasure to be sharing an exhibit venue with such a talented and personable fella such as yourself!
Micgormit's photostream -- not to mention the man himself -- has served as a reliable source of joy and inspiration. If you take a few minutes to look through his work, it's easy to understand why.

Micgormit's photostream -- not to mention the man himself -- has served as a reliable source of joy and inspiration. If you take a few minutes to look through his work, it's easy to understand why. He takes subjects that most people either take for granted or photograph merely to pass the time .... and unfailingly brings something fresh and vibrant to them. Weather it's his ever-so-photogenic dog Dudley, a tree, a fallen leaf, a beach, random objects in the snow, Micgormit's photos demonstrate a photographer driven by the need to emphasize easily overlooked nuances and bring forth the graceful and ephemeral in the ordinary and oft-viewed. His color shots are rich and vibrant and his black and white are glorious celebrations of greyscale. What's more, he's a kind, warm, and witty soul with a heart as big as sis homeland, and his encouraging words always inspire me to do my best. Thank you micgormit, not only for the joy you've given me but for the joy you've given to so many others in the flickr community!

Every visit is a surprise. Many lessons I’ve learned from his work, as nowadays simplicity is difficult to find when the world is becoming more and more sophisticated, how sensitiveness can be expressed without being old-fashioned, how distant feelings like patriotism can be brought to discussion again with being fascist, how nude can be expressed without being cheap, how a short stroll around neighborhood can turn into a long adventure, how intelligent comments can be made with simple words when they are true. This is Mike and these features among others made me prisoner to a delightful habit of visiting him whenever I sign in and wanting more.

In this day and age of mediocrity & staid cookiecutter formulatic imagery, it is with great difficulty that one finds original concepts via the medium called "Photography." Fortunatly, there is a solution.....and the cure for such mudane same-same oh-isn't-that-cute blandness is called: MICGORMIT. Mic is an artist with unparalleled vision.....a Man of the World who sees the minute details of life that remains hidden to the masses as we go about our societial 9 to 5 blend-in consumer-driven existence. His images are both enlightening & illuminating.....and he challenges each and everyone of us to see the World from a prespective that only great artists share. Micgormit's awesome talent is coupled with unpretentious modesty.....and while it is unknown as to whether or not he is in the habit of wearing a White Hat, it can be said that without doubt he IS one helluva Good Guy. You desire an antidote to boredom and bland photo-imagery???.....then come to know the genius that is Micgormit. Rock on,Coolbreeze.

Micgormitt's studies of Toronto neighbourhoods look beyond the surface and give me a whole new perspective of the wonderful city I have lived in for 18 years. He has discovered some truly remarkable vistas - places I walk by everyday, and until now, had failed to spot the beauty in the little details just off the main path. Excellent work from a very nice guy.
