[lluisripollquerol at gmail.com (Lluis Ripoll)]

Dear Ted,

I'm going to say thank you for all the comments received but I want  
start with some words thanking you for your kind words and  
apreciation, you are giving me an extraordinary honor and emotion with  
your words, thank you very much my friend, I'm really happy.

Today I'm tired, lately I've worked hard and as you know, do  
photography with love and passion is a loneliness work of every day,  
and day after day, but finally is an indescriptible pleasure share the  
work  with friends as you and all the Luggers, I'm very glad to have  
join this list who have motivated me to do the effort to work more on  
photography.

Thank you very much Ted, your words made me really happy

I'm really excited waiting the moment we will share in Barcelona with  
you and other friends, this is really exciting...! many thank!

cheers
Lluis

> Ladies & Gentlemen of the LUG,
> Most of us know the works of the great French photographers of the

> of young Peter Turnley and his look of Paris. A fine presentation.
>
> Most of the greats of the past are all big name people of the photo  
> world many are aware of!
>
> BUT Lluis Ripoll? A Catalonian photog? Who is he? Some internet  
> photographer known but to a few? NO, HE IS AN EXTREMELY FINE SHARP  
> EYED MODERN DAY PHOTOGRAPHER UNKNOWN TO THE WORLD!
>
> However. All of us of the LUG are aware of his incredible  
> photographers' "ART OF OBSERVATION!" Certainly on more occasions'  
> than we can count! :-)
>
> BUT? Here we have a book of unseen photography that ranks Lluis  
> right up there with all the greats of the past and known of today!  
> Myself and a few others have had the wonderful privilege of seeing  
> this book cover to cover! Trust me, it truly is a "MOVE OVER CARTIER  
> BRESSON AND THE REST OF YOU BOOK!!' And if you are a collector of  
> photographic and photographer books this is truly one to have. Not  
> just because the photography is most interesting. But simply because  
> you all know the guy behind the photographs through out the book!
>
> It's our Lluis, all alive and right here in yer face! :-) Actually  
> day after day! :-)

> Look just because Bresson and many of the others have had all the  
> recognition during the past 70 plus years of promotion simply  
> because they were few and far between and given all the attention by  
> the GREAT magazines of yesterday! Today with an IPOD on every  
> corner????????????? It might be a different story?
>
> That doesn't mean today we can't all of a sudden recognize one of  
> our own is as good as Bresson, Robert Doisneau, Turnley and many  
> others you wish to add!
>
> Myself and a few others will in July have the great pleasure of   
> receiving our now ordered and to be signed personal copies from  
> Lluis in Barcelona. Indeed it will be well documented by the crew in  
> attendance and shown on the LUG! I can hardly wait, as this is an  
> experience I've never had with any of the over 400 photo book  
> authors in my personal library collection! :-)
>
> May I suggest you all look at purchasing a copy of this book simply  
> because the photography of Paris is as visually interesting as and  
> better than many of the greats of the past and present! The author

> after week! Day after day!

> A passing comment on one of or own LUG crew! Order yours today!
