"I thought it was very fine and even learned; you certainly know a great deal about glaciers and geology! I particularly liked three of the photos: Matanuska (2010); Kviarjokall (2022); Svinafellsjokull (2022). It’s not impossible that I’ve made some spelling errors there. Though I would say that global warming is considerably on my mind–and I have my own snapshots from the Mt. Hood area which also show how much of the old ice is melting–I am still a formalist at heart. I think what drew me to these three is partly the splendid mix of colors (the cool ice and the warm of the various grasses), and the power of the feel of walls of ice. Anyway, I just wanted to drop you a line to congratulate you on the showing of your work, and to add, no doubt to the words of praise of many others, how impressed I am with your skill, your eye, and your dedication to such an important issue."

"I just wanted to hop in and say that your work is incredible. I appreciate the story that you’re telling through your work. Over the years I was in Alaska, I saw the Matanuska receding, so that hit home for me in particular. Words cannot express the beauty of these images, I have no doubt your photography will reach students in the same way. Highly recommend! You are a very talented photographer and your work is very unique."

Tragically beautiful.

Thank you for reaching out about your fascinating work on glaciers. I shared your message with Melody Burkins the Director of the Institute of Arctic Studies at Dartmouth, and she is very interested in pursuing a showing of your work.
