"I've known Charlie since I started my studio over 3 decades ago.
Back then when he was working with IBM, he would pop in frequently to send his own pictures for processing.
I would share tips and technics with him. Now, when I see his latest masterpieces, I'm amazed by the quality of every piece, especially the food, flowers and images on NaNo (Extreme Macro).
I am totally impressed, he is a community leader and a
great imaging artist now!"
He's just an amazing photographer with great talent! Congrats!"

Charlie's amazing set of photos - true dedication to his art. Looking

with his talents."
"My brother, I am very proud of you. Congratulation!!"
"I am sorry to hear about the e-mail that was sent to you by one of the Flickr staff.

"Charlie Brown visited my Flickr by chance and I was very surprised to
see that someone on his photo level would see my silly photos.
At first, I thought he wouldn't even see my comments because he had
like 50 others before mine, but he did read it. That was very nice.
Charlie is lovely and kind, finds time even to give some photo class and tips to improve. You are the best, Charlie! We are all lucky to have you as a friend. :)"
"尽管我和查理只有一面之缘，但是他的人格魅力和深沉的哲学思考给我留下了很深的印象！
查理很热爱拍照，我们见面的那天，他就一直拿着相机照个不停，甚至在公交车上也在拍照。在途中我们遇到一个女孩，一个陌生的女孩，但是查理却能很真诚的，甚至是站在老师和长辈的身份，希望能给她一些建议。
当我看到查理的照片的时，我十分惊讶，那些花儿是那么美丽可爱，那些色彩是那么丰富多彩。各地的建筑，各地的人们……真的很喜欢查理的照片。我想查理所有朋友们也跟我一样喜欢他和他的照片。
查理为flickr的壮大做了很多的贡献。我也是通过查理才开始进入到flickr，刚开始，我并不知道如何使用，查理很耐心的给我讲。只要上网，我一定 会打开flickr。我觉得很感谢能有这样一个平台让我们了解到各地风情，让我们的语言和文化有所交流。有一句话是这样说的：欺山莫欺水。不管怎样，我们 一定会支持查理！
我想，对我们和对整个互连网络来说，查理都是一笔巨大的财富！"

In this day of the world with so much distructiveness and nasty politics, it's nice to be able to enjoy something that truly should be the inspiration for us all. Thank you Charlie Brown!!!!"
"Charlie belongs to my early contacts in Flickr. His photos are of fantastic quality and variety. Specialy I like his shots from Asia. They provide some inside to the culture and everyday life in Asia.
Charly is also very engaged in many groups and discussions in the Flickr community. Even if he has so many contacts, he still visits my photos and always has friendly comments. I don't want to miss his personality and pictures in Flickr! Recently there is a www.flickr.com/ph...
"Charlie Brown is a fine man with a strong sense of justice and a deep and abiding concern for everyone he meets.
He is also a skilled photographer, whose artistry with a camera brings out the best in the world around him.
It is a pleasure to have met him here on Flickr, and I hope he
continues to post wonderful photos and involve himself in the
community."
"Charlie is a fine man, I support what he believes in, I hope his legacy reigns for a long time to come. He provided me with useful information when I started here in flickr, I just hope flickr would backoff b4 losing an asset~"

Have a great photos... Tell us about other cultures, other peoples, other customs...
He has a great value in the Flickr community. And the fact that occurred with it, was an enormous injustice! Well... I hope so that problem be solved! :-)
Thanks Charlie!"
"His superb photo-stream is just a great encyclopaedia of Asia viewed
through the eyes of a wonderful Gourmet of Life! Through the eyes of a
wise and sophisticated Connoisseur of the Art of Life!
I am admiring with this stunning collection of just perfectly created
pearls! I am mesmerized with a refined and exotic aroma of Asia. With
mystic Beauty of orchids. With fascinating fragrances of spices. With
incredible wisdom of ancient China sages. With magic power of Oriental
Gods and Goddesses...
Mr CharlieBrown is a true epicure of Life! He is deeply charmed with every hue, with every haint of it"s Beauty!
His sensitive Artistic eye notices a hidden Beauty everywhere. He finds
it in the morning dew. And - in the shining drops of a summer rain
cooled down on the rose petals. He finds it in a fairy shape of peaches
or... persimmons. Or in leaves and stems of Asian plants. And... - in
enchanting power and refinement of an Oriental cuisine! But... What"s
even more important - Mr CharlieBrown so artistically transmits this
subtle feeling of hidden Beauty to us!
I do love his PhotoArt. Every photo is beautifully done - with a perfect craftsmanship!
Besides, Mr CharlieBrown is a nice friend. Wise. Kind. Supportive.
Attentive. And... always encouraging in his insightful comments! I
wonder how is possible to find time to visit all his friends but... He
finds! Always! He finds! And... Do You know why? Because he is a
magician of friendship!
I look forward to every new piece created with one of my favorite photographers on Flickr."

"I can mention that inside all the grand ideas of art there being
understood the whole reference of the good concept and initial idea of
each one Charlie it goes in many directions initially and after
searching, demonstrating, teaching and to cultivate our eyes with
absolute and delicate *technique* (=, we find the humble more and good
servant of always.
Before this that more to say?"
"我和查理没有见过面,我们最深的认识不过是仅仅在电话里聊了25分钟,他告诉我他是在帮他的一个朋友寻找库存的童装,因为我是做服装出口的,所以缘份就
这样找到了我.之后他的女儿介绍我加入了FLICKR,在这里面我不仅提高了我的英语水平,更多的是让我了解到了各国的风土人情,拓展了我更多的知识面.
同时也让我了解到了查理是一个正直,心地十分善良的人.
今天上网就从查理MSN的BLOG里看到了这个消息,我觉的很可笑,也和查理一样觉的痛心,我只想站出来告诉世人,这个社会是讲究人权的社会,每个人都有
自己的自由和喜好,请尊重每一个人的劳动成果.查理为flickr的壮大做了很多的贡献,查理是整个互连网络一笔巨大的财富！不管怎样,我们一定会支持查
理的!!"
"Charlie Brown's work is consistently wonderful: creative, clear, well shot and beautiful. As much as I enjoy his photos, though, I enjoy his friendly comments and helpful information both in his descriptions and in the comments he makes in response to others. Charlie Brown is the sort of person one would like to have living next door, so that his company could be easily enjoyed over the back fence!"
"Mara was outraged at the guard, the squat, doughy-faced guard who told her that taking photographs of the relics was forbidden. She put her camera into her pack, her lips taut but, when the guard meandered into a safer room, she snuck it out and took the pictures that were later missing from the police lockup when the coroner requested them."
"My family and I have known Charlie Brown for a long time
now and I know he is a credible man and the man with dignity. He is an
honorable man, high status in the society and family value. He believes
in actions rather than words.
He studies and practices philosophy all his life. He'd been well
respected by head of states in 4 continents. He had contributed many
advices to all the people and my students in many parts of the world.
Some people think that Charlie Brown is easy to push around because he
is a minority in flickr. We are in support of Charlie Brown through his
contributions in this e-community and flickr. To us, flickr means
Charlie.
No Charlie and there will be no flickr !!!"

Bravo, Charlie!"
"Charlie is not just a master of photography. You are wrong, if you just give credits to him because of his photographs. Beyond of that, he's the master of earthly life. He's the man with full of determination to the future like a tiger and at the other side, he's like the father who could give me appreciation and punishment at the same time. And I love that.
He has shown the real meaning of doing what you like and liking what you do, at least for me."

Charlie takes incredible photos. Whether it's food or flowers or
sunsets or an amazing landscape you can be sure that it's eye-catching

He has formed many groups here on Flickr, and is a truly valued and special member of our community. Thank you, Charlie, for what you do and who you are."
"Some people are talented... some people are gifted... and some people are just outrageously lucky!
Then there is Charlie.
I don't know Charlie well enough to say he is any of the above, but

its way into everything he does.
Bringing both passions of photography & gardening together shows

"I've only knew Charlie not so long ago. And yes, I know people will say that he is good with his camera. Good at macro shots. That's true. But through his notes (on his photos) and several times chatting, I also know that he is also a great person. In photography and in life. And he still manage to visit my pics and leave some comments :)
I will try to always look for the meanings in his pics beyond the visual."
"For someone like myself who has only been fiddling with an old camera for the past 6 months or so, Charlie is someone I look at and think "If I can be a 10th as good as he is then I have done well". He brings his photography to us with such tenderness, such care and such love that it's a sheer joy to keep looking at his photograhs wandering what he will deliver next. His macro photography is as awe-inspiring as I have ever seen.
He creates art with a camera and he does this by having a natural eye for what he thinks will look good."
"Charlie is the master of macro on Flickr. And that is saying a lot,
because there are many good macro photographers on Flickr.
I learned how to do it right by looking at Charlie's photos. He is also

very helpful. I really appreciate this.
"愛是感受, 愛是幸福, 愛是體會, 愛是甜蜜, 愛是經歷, 愛是美麗, 愛是犧牲, 愛是體諒,

"Charlie is a very talented photographer and a very special person. I am always amazed by his photos, they are true works of art. His photos have taken me around the world, and inside of a flower in amazing detail, they also have been known to make me hungy! His talent is matched by his kind heart and encouragement to others. He has been an inspiration to me and I have learned so much form him. He is so much a part of Flickr that I couldnt imagine it without him. I am honored to call him "my friend" Kiki"
"Charlie is a great photographer & my friend since my very begining in the Flickr world.
This is quite a different world but it's like a mirror in which we see the faces & wounds of the real world. Charlie is master in manipulating the camera lenses & manuvering the digital work & photoshop tools.
He enhances the beauty to its
extreme & brings out pearls of macro world from the depth of the
subjects. I wonder how this wizzard of the images manage so many
differnt works of photography at a time.
All his images invite to see & appreciate his great skill & devotation .
I hope that this creation of wonderful world of images will be continued for a long long time.
As a friend he is one of its kind, very kind & always ready to give
tips to flicker friends. He is the first person who wrote a tesimonial
for me & I know that I did not expect any testimonial at that time.
"It was a year ago when I first wrote a testimonial for Charlie when I had my first Flickr PRO account (JDMA). Back then I said I didn’t know him quite well. Having visited his photostream countless times, I could say now that he is admirable in many ways: a good father, a great photographer, very creative, artistic, a culinary expert… an awesome and wonderful person! I am really glad Charlie for having you as a friend not only here in Flickr but in my Yahoo 360 as well. Best regards! ;)"
"Charlie Brown was one of the first people whose pictures I noticed
when I joined flickr. I was amazed at the magnificence of his images.
He sees the beauty in the world, and captures it in unusual and
spectacular ways. From flowers to food, landscapes to people, or
objects to creatures, he presents an array of photos that always dazzle
the eyes, and awaken the senses.
Not only is he an amazing photographer, Charlie is very kind. He is a
good friend who is very generous and encouraging with his comments. I
am always happy to see his comments on a picture I’ve posted. He
impressed me from the first time I saw his brilliant work, and will
continue to inspire me with his talent as well as his compassion.
Thank you Charlie for being one of my flickr/photography heroes, as well as a wonderful friend! xo"
"Charlie oh Charlie...
Where do I begin.
A sensationalist for dramatically beautifying the unseen, and
decorating our lives with colours never seen before. A fiercely loyal
Flickr-rite, sadly oppressed by external forces, but yet staying true
to his cause. Very dedicated photographer whose noble joy is to share
his vision of unseen beauty, colour and joy to others, and in that,
bring light to our lives.
"Charlie has captured my heart with his floral photographs. Full of
style, grace, romance and PASSION!!!! Taking a virtual visit through
China with Charlie and you will feel you are there. His scenic shots
from all over the world are breathtaking! Charlie LOVES food too, and
his delicious, mouth-watering meals are always so beautifully
presented, I can almost taste them!
Charlie is one of those professional photographers that inspires me so
very much. Let him teach you how to create beauty through the lens. His
photography is so inspirational! He is a master at what he does, and I
am happy be one of his friends.
His newest set, NaNo is absolutely STUNNING! A must see!!! if you need eye candy, this is the place to go first.
Sit down and spend an evening with Charlie and look through his
exceptional photographs. You will be blown away by the magic.
All the best to you, my dear Charlie! And thank you for being a
wonderful friend. Cheers to you! What would flickr be without you?"
"Charlie and I have a long history together, dating back to when I was a kid, at that time, he was surely an amazing person, I knew that he liked to cook a lot, I never knew he also liked to take pictures. Since, I'm not very proficent at art or photography, I sometimes wonder what Charlies NaNo pictures are all about. I am still trying to understand Charlies mystery. Though, after long whiles, Charlie has become part of my life and my family, whether I like it or not, I will have to learn from him slowly. So take your time people, and check out the site. Many many pictures to view! Have fun!"
" Dad.. We are proud of you.Your lights our lights would shine!!and i think we will try our best to be as your proud too! thanks for your effort to us! really appreciate it!!"
"一個偶然的機緣，受過 Charlie 充滿創造性的作品，我很高興的認識了 Charlie.
他對我這個攝影新手無私的獻上心得技巧，是一個很健談隨和的好友
"Charlie is incredibly passionate about both his photography as well as the Flickr community. You only have to take a peek at his immense photostream to realise this. But to regard Charlie as a photographer would be to do him a gross injustice.
Charlie's mastery of the colour spectrum is an inspiration to us all. Take some time and take in Charlie's works of art !"
"I am not aware of another artist on Flickr with the talent, reach and appeal that Charlie Tan has. I am constantly amazed not only by the images that he delivers to us to enjoy but also by the time that he takes to reach out to those of us out here leaving comments for him. I recently told him that we get what we put into this life and I am so pleased to see the returns that he gets for all of himself that he shares with us.
If everyone reached out like Charlie I think that there would be much more understanding in the world today. Thank you for efforts Charlie and thank you for the beauty of our world that you bring to our attention consistently."
"Charlie has a fantastic view of color, shape, pattern, contrast, and composition -- elements that pound every image with a strong message: excellent photography!!!! I enjoy his images from first glance. I think one can learn a lot through the eyes of CharlieBrown8989... this is a photostream full of heart, a good one...an excellent one! Thank you for sharing your work, Charlie!"
