On the Home front, praise and criticism

What a delightful surprise! For so many decades of providing photographs to the Home Magazine on Sundays, I had no idea as to expectation.

When I opened last Thursday’s Home section, I was confronted by Thomas Curwen’s “The Storyteller’s Refuge” exposition. When I turned to Page 15, I was in awe that you had assembled the courage required to express so skillfully the message of Frank Lloyd Wright’s bold design for a Southern California home.

On turning to the double-page spread, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Photographer Anacleto Rapping’s bold, dramatically composed statements would have warmed the heart of Mr. Wright! As Curwen expressed: “It is a place to gaze out upon the world ... “!

Congratulations.
