Acknowledgements: To all the people, past and present, who have shown incredible grace (and even a smile) upon discovering my lens pointed in their general direction. Thank you to Nadia Dusil and my three sons, Devlin, Ethan, and Quinten who continue to love and support a man who may seem far away at times. And to my father, Harry. He introduced me to photography. He and Mom gave me my first camera, a Pentax K1000. I later borrowed his Pentax for my first assignment in Haiti. To Betsy Wall of FIDA/pCH, Haiti. To my mentors, Stephen Rudd (RIP), Mario Madau, Rob Doda, Eric Yealland and especially to Philip Blenkinsop, who invited me to Dhaka, Bangladesh. Philip tore me down only to set the bar higher. He reintroduced me to 'unseeing'. To my fabulous friendly patrons, the Schlegal Family, the Cader Clan, and to the unsinkable Bryan Kuppers.

This installation would not have happened without good friends. Andrew M. From the crib till the end. No Sleep. Newly Weds and Champions of the cause, Mateo and Agustina. Greer for his ethic and understanding. Colin Cregg for the flats, Ken and Summer for their acquiescence and pragmatism. Thank you to Mark Riddall of NEO, for the French Cleats, Yolanda for her truck and PLUCK. Jordan (along with Quinten!) for their mad painting skills. The tagging and titling you see are the glue that bound this series together and gave some semblance of continuity. This is the work of artist, Bassem Abdelfattah (@artistbasm). Finally, I'd like to tip my hat to Robert Langen Gallery's fabulous Curator, Suzanne Luke. Collaboration is the only way forward in these times. We must join hands and sing together!
