“Debra Fisher Goldstein has a sharp eye for design, and a sensitivity for the moment in her photography. She also is an expressive writer with depth and an ear for the voice of
her subjects.”

“Debra, THANK YOU for your fabulous talk to our staff and students. You bring the FUN, you bring the WOW, you bring YOU.
Thank you for making a difference in people’s lives.”

“Debra Fisher Goldstein cleverly, stealthily catches the mood of the room; the energy and essence of the artist; and the sense of occasion which envelops the audience. And then—what pleasure—we re-live it afterwards by viewing her always remarkable photographs, often shot in less-than-ideal environments. Thanks to Debra’s excellent photos, my organization has built a robust library of images that have served the full range of our marketing needs. Showing an impressive commitment to younger photographers, I’ve watched Debra teach those skills in a Young Artist Mentorship program. Thank you, Debra, for brightening our community!”

“My MplsPhotoCenter’s ’72HOURS AT THE FAIR’ Workshop was most fortunate to visit an exhibition of State Fair photography by Debra Fisher Goldstein on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.
Debra’s use of light, composition, and her capture of unique Fair moments provided a personal and distinctive perspective into the fairgoer’s experience. Her work gave “permission” to my students to photograph instinctively.”
– Layne Kennedy, Minneapolis-Based, International Editorial Photographer

“Debra’s work goes far beyond what is visible to the naked eye…she is able to capture the on-the-spot experience by intimately connecting with the image, sharing the exhilaration, the melancholy, the confusion, and sometimes the conventional …the results are always visually stunning, profoundly engaging, and highly imaginative. She is not only as talented as she is smart; she’s a dynamo, who sets a course for success – and then meets it. I wouldn’t hesitate for one second to recommend her work – and that’s something to say in this day and age.”

“Debra, I can’t say enough good things about the Photo CD. It is wonderful.
Not only is it beautiful photography, they are such poignant pictures.
They made me laugh, go “aww” and brought tears to my eyes. A pure delight.”
– Judy Brown

“What a feast of enjoyment for a lifelong Pyr lover like me. Your choice of those spontaneous moments are so fresh and intimate, one really could be there. In those of the people I know you have captured THEM — and for the Pyrs I could almost feel them. I will be showing the National DVDs whenever I have a captive audience. Meanwhile I continue to enjoy them myself repeatedly. Well done. What dedication.”
– Eunice Meredith
