Since then, In addition to farm-laborer and newspaper photographer my occupational incarnations include dishwasher, janitor, retail photo clerk, plumber, HVAC repairman, auto mechanic, CAT scan technologist, computer worker and politico (whatever it takes to buy a camera.)

  1. Lovely series of photos providing glimpses of a lovely day. An honor and a privilege to hear His Holiness the Dalai Lama speak; his humor, gentleness, cheerfulness and great good sense filled me with a renewed sense of hope that compassion will become a daily practice for most of us and will ultimatley lead to global peace. Thank you, Billy~your photos are thought provoking, as usual.

  2. Great shot Bill. I saw you at the Pavilion and was looking forward to seeing the event through your eyes (and lens). Always a treat for me.

  3. Prof Emory has a rare brilliance when armed with a camera. Comparable in some ways to rich music or poetry, his photographs exhibit a close observance and interest in the ordinary events of life. These are pictures of great latitude, beautifully seen and sincere.

  4. Powerful images, Bill. It’s always a treat to see the world through your visual poetry. And I love the quotes, too.
