    Your images are purely divine; I’m convinced the good Lord is whispering in your ear, “Look there,” and then provides that other-worldly, higher realm, kind of light so characteristic of your photos. I’m running out of ways to express my sense of awe. You need to publish a book; it would be a prayer.
