I am very honored and excited that David Alan Harvey (Magnum Agency) has decided to be my mentor throughout some of my ongoing projects – including the one I started in the workshop in Tuscany, where we first met in person: A Stranger’s Wish.
David is not only a very sought after and busy photographer, he is also a very sought after person. Serendipity, passion, curiosity, open mindedness, positive thinking and motivation on one hand side, looking reality in the unmasked face on the other hand side – he becomes a beacon of light for many, photographers or not, emerging or not, sometimes even of people he has never met.
Althemore I am grateful for the extra time he is willing to invest in me.
I came to his workshop without expecting much – as an outsider. Far from doing documentary I was mainly taking visual notes with my little point&shoot for my art and painting projects. David opened a new world for me which was beyond fascinating. It just captured me and I am not looking at my compass right now while navigating through these new oceans. I will eventually have to sit down and decide how to proceed, but until then I have a lot to explore and it is good to know that David is out there somewhere to call, if I totally loose the sight of land.
Thank you David!
