Hi Everyone. Just a quick announcement about an exhibit of the suitcase photos at Saint John Fisher College in Rochester, NY. It has been amazing working with the folks there, especially Ryan Thibodeau and Cathy Sweet. The seminar on Saturday the 19th should be amazing and will be streamed on Zoom. I’ll post a link to the url soon.

Best and thanks, Jon

Dear Jon,

Thanks for your latest email update. I was extremely happy to hear from you. As always, all your photos are the best!! Perhaps I can attend your NY conference. Please send me the details. I’m glad to hear that you’re doing well. I haven’t been doing much photography myself due to the virus problems. We have mostly stayed in our house 🏠. This spring- in May, we are going on a vacation for 2 weeks in Georgia. I’ll be taking photos there. Stay safe and healthy. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon. Take care.

All the best,

Martha

I grew up in Palmyra, NY and recall my mother referring to ‘Willard’ as a place one wanted to avoid. When I saw the name referring to suitcases, I had to look up the location.
