I had difficulties in keeping my tears from flowing. This is one of the most amazing set of pictures I have seen in years. The story seems to be perfect as its execution. A beautiful tale around a nature’s wonder, the butterflies, which appear and disappear as they are setting the rhythm for this amazing journey into a different, deep and colourful culture. I have very few words to express my emotions after seen such a piece of work. Please do keep me updated when you finish up the story.
More-Than-Well Done!!!

Great news! I sent the link to Medford’s work out and I’m happy to report that today my friend Tewfic El-Sawy is featuring Medford and burn on his wonderful blog, The Travel Photographer. Take a look.

Dear Medford,

I heard of monarch butterflies from the poem … After that I have dreamt of meeting them someday…Now I finally met them… surprise!!!

I imagine myth of Michoacán along the winds that monarch butterflies bring …
Very beautiful …very imaginary …

I’m happy with your works.
Thank you so much.

Hi Medford, this is just “lovely”, as I have learned to express in the British way. Seems like you have added a lot of new work from the last time I have seen this, I guess that was a couple of years ago.

But why are you hiding from us?

Hugs, Laura.

LM, Timing is everything. YOU and the SUSSEX SPANIEL. From one dog to another “oldest and best in the show”. Way to go brother, Tom T.

Medford “Dog”

Ernst Haas in Mexico! Brilliant work from a master in his own right. Even after seeing the rough edits from each of your trips to Mexico I feel as though I have just witnessed fresh new work from an avid Lecia M6 shooter. Digital has changed your approach but not your style. Beautiful images, edit and song my friend.

nice one medford, really really like it. great use of colour, you’ve made this part of mexico look like a dream world. All the fiesta and colour and butterflies and proud people. makes me wanna go there. A very good unpretentious body of work that wouldnt look out of place in a glossy national geographic. good stuff.
