Dear Patrick...I am flattered and taken aback by the kindness and thoughtfulness of your words....very kind. When I was working mostly as a photographer and then a documentary maker I had no idea how my work touched others...Writing my weekly essays is largely the same....the readership sways up and down but is mostly silent so it is a struggle to maintain the sense of duty or accomplishment....so thank you for your comments, they are heartening.
Dear Robert your essays are thought provoking, humane, tough minded and unsentimental. I look forward every Saturday morning to reading your latest offering. Your perceptions do something few writers currently do for me which is tilt the world on its axis a little and nudge me gently but firmly to consider the act of creativity in a wider social and political context. I have nothing but respect and admiration for the way you elucidate the meaning of our creative acts. I always come away feeling emboldened and inspired to do make my own work more truthful and authentic. Thank you. You are very much heard and your words and images make a difference to how I perceive the world.
