I truly want to thank you for this post. I have enjoyed reading each of your newsletters, but this one resulted in my husband and I viewing McCurry’s photographs today. I had not heard anything about this event until I read your post. It was such a meaningful and inspiring exhibit, and your thoughts about what you learned from it are inspiring as well. Thank you!

Wonderful post! I LOVE his photographs- always have. Your observations are, I think, spot on! Wish I were there to attend the exhibition! Am sure it would be just amazing!

As an awesome photographer I thought you'd like this post. Hope at some point his exhibit comes to the US.

You are beyond kind about my photography and I appreciate your kindness. Not professionally trained in any sense of the word, I come from parents who had classic taste and an eye for loveliness. My grandmother was an artist. And I think, had I known when I was a university student studying theology, how much joy photography brought to me, I might have rather studied that and pursued an entirely different career. That said, I have enjoyed both my career and making photos and simply take photos for fun. Wherever I go, I seem to find something that catches my eye and makes my heart sing. April will take me to Morocco and I am eager for something completely unknown and exotic. I would love it if his exhibit came here as I have admired his work for years!

I was not professionally trained as a writer but spent a good part of my career writing business copy for employers. Everything from press releases, articles, speeches and even an eulogy! Sometimes your true path finds you. Photography certainly has found you. Can't wait to to see your photos from Morocco! -CW

And you write beautifully! Your stuff holds my interest ( I have the attention span of a small hummingbird!), has amazing flow and is just really good! When are you publishing a book? I will buy it!
