Willard Suitcases / Dorrit Harazim Book
Several months ago I was contacted by the Brazilian publisher Compania Das Letras about the suitcases project being included in a book by Dorrit Harazim. They have been really great to deal with, but I wasn’t entirely clear about the nature of the project. When I got back from Nepal, a copy was waiting for me in my post office box. It seems to be a collection of essays about photographs (it is in Portuguese so I am not sure), and I was amazed to see the other photographers that were included. Several Magnum photographers are involved along with Gordon Parks and Vivian Maier and some other illustrious names. I am thrilled an honored to be a part of it. “O instante certo” translated roughly to “the right moment”. It is available through Amazon, so if you read Portuguese it might be nice to get a copy.
The article on the suitcases translates to “travel without return”. I would be happy if the book was translated into English at some point, but in the meantime, I’ll ask for a pdf and plug it into google translate.

Great news!
Thank you for the postcards. I received them last week. Much appreciated!
I wanted to share an article that I did about Nepali artist Youdhi Maharjan. He lives in New England, so perhaps you’ll run into him or see his work some time.

Oh how wonderful for you. I know you could not have imagined where this project would lead you like, say Brazil! Thrilled for you and the work. Hugs, Katie
Congratulations!
Ever since I saw the first suitcase (a few years ago) I’ve imagined a story woven from them. I’m so glad they the suitcases will have their say at last, even if it isn’t me telling their story.
This is marvelous. Congratulations!
Hi there! I was the editor for the book, and indeed it is a collection of essays on photography. Dorrit is one of the most illustrious journalists in Brazil, and this is her first book. A slightly different version of the text appears on this blog (it will be easier to google translate it): http://revistazum.com.br/colunistas/viagens-sem-volta/
