Some kind words from Arthur Ransome:
Arthur is a photographer whose work I admire. He recently wrote to me about the images on this site.
"I am amazed at the breadth and depth of your photography. Many photographers have their “favorite” topics or subjects, and although they try to diversify, it is pretty obvious what their favorite subjects are. This is not the case in your photography. You have established a great “identity” and have defined a style that you seem to be equally comfortable applying to any subject or topic, irrespective of whether it is an exotic location or something that many people would not even notice.
The detail in your work is amazing - textures, shapes and lines are truly stunning. Your color images are all about the color – you have a very unique way of using color to emphasize your subjects. I found myself looking at many of the photographs wanting to know more about the subject - to see the sights and to hear the sounds . . . "
Thanks, Arthur

From Jack Wilgus
Jack Wilgus was Chair of the MICA Photography Department for many years. Recently, after seeing some of my images on Facebook, he sent me the following message:
"I have been looking at your photographs on Facebook for some time. The ones that superimpose the eyes and face over a tree bark or metal wall work well. The one titled "Haunted" is striking! Your images of train abstractions are very sculptural and the textures and colors are visually exciting. I really like this group. Also your architectural images of exteriors and interiors are a strong ongoing series. Your selective seeing and use of color are impressive. I am very favorably impressed by your portfolio of digital images shown here."
Thank you, Jack

And from Hal Shull . . .
Harold (Hal) Shull is an artist and illustrator whose work has appeared on book covers, movie posters, and advertisements. He's also a terrific painter. He recently commented on my work, and I thought I'd pass it along.
"Beautiful shots Murray. You manage to take pictures of old and rusty objects and put new life into them. I can always tell a master's touch by the character in his pictures; and Murray, every photograph I have seen of yours abounds with character. Ansel Adams had a keen eye for landscapes and living things. On the other hand, you have a keen eye for lifeless objects that, when photographed by you, tend to develop a life of their own."
Thanks to you, too, Hal
Sadly, Harold Shull passed away on January 28, 2018 at the age of 75, following a long illness. He was productive to the end. The world has lost an amazing artist.
