JOHN SEXTON & ANNE LARSEN VISIT TEXAS

JOHN SEXTON & ANNE LARSENThis has been a really great long weekend for us here in the D/FW area of Texas.   John Sexton and his wife Anne Larsen came to Dallas for the opening reception of their joint exhibition at the Sun to Moon gallery, to hold a one-day seminar and an enlightening lecture, including a poster and book signing at Richland College.  We are proud to say we attended all three events and had a wonderful time.

It was great to catch up with John and Anne.   We feel so fortunate to be able to spend two days saturated in photography.  John is one of my favorite speakers and maybe I should say favorite photography speakers.  His stories of working with Ansel Adams are always informative,  interesting and funny.  He is also a never-ending wealth spring of knowledge.  He shares my deeply-felt philosophy of not having secrets.  I believe I first heard, never photograph with anyone that has secrets, from Fred Picker, but I can assure you that John and Anne share this view.  They also radiate an enthusiasm for photography that is contagious.

Susan and I, and the Metroplex as a whole, are certainly fortunate that John and Anne were able to visit and we hope they will be returning soon.  Though, it might be well advised that they plan their next visit during cooler weather!

Again, Thank You John and Anne for a wonderful long weekend and we hope to see you both soon!

JB & Susan
