What passion you have for this craft! I saw your work while on a visit to the museum in May. I took a snap of one of your beautiful prints so I could remember you... I'm so glad to have met you

Hello Charles. I wanted to let you know how much I love your whimsical image of a camel at the Anchorage Zoo! It was back at APU in 2016. The image is displayed prominently in my studio as a wonderful reminder that one can be funny and serious, together in art.

Charles,

I love your imaginative photos! Vicki and I had our first trip to Alaska in August, and it was so lovely: Denali showed herself in a new dusting of snow, and an Uncruise week around Admiralty Island from Juneau was spectacular. You live in a wonderful place, but I don't know how you tolerate the winter darkness.

Cheers from Lexington!
