The religious cranks of all sorts right now...Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu...are having a field day because they have learned anew an old lesson: i.e., blow up enough stuff and people will pay attention to you. In your work, and photography, I imagine you know the same thing I know in my work: For every crank, there are a hundred quiet, unassuming, decent, generous, compassionate people who go about their lives doing good deeds, caring for their neighbors, bringing honor to their religion. We just don't hear much about them, and why should we? Peace, Ken -- The Rev.
