I know that Brooklyn view. Know it all too well. And I guess I'm not caught up on congratulating you for all your recent successes as they are coming so fast and furious. So congrats for it all and preemptively for all that will surely come. It's nice to see good work by good people recognized and rewarded. And finally, I'd never presume to tell you to call the frick'in collector, but call the frick'in collector already! Just kidding. You seem to be making great photo career decisions on your own. No need for input from these parts. Thanks Erica, yours too. I know that Brooklyn view. Know it all too well.

BFD. if someone likes your work meet with him/her. make the call, step up, enjoy the glow. erica

Your work is part of the change that is happening and it is all about seeing each individual as filled with dignity and worthy of respect. Laws can change but it is attitudes that have a tendency to lag behind. The way you see and portray the residents of Surf Manor shows the new attitudes that must evolve in all of ouur consciousness. You are making a difference and I commend you for that. It's one thing to be an excellent photographer and quite another to use this creative gift to benefit others. Brava to you! Patricia ERICA
