   Xavier, I loved your stuff yesterday @ the fair…I didn’t spend too much time @ your booth, so I didn’t notice if you had any insect pictures w/you but I love these even more!! I’m an animal lover & a bit of an animal rights activist, eat mostly vegetarian, and yet I think nothing of ruthlessly slaying any insect that dares to enter my home. The last time I went to kill a spider, I really saw for the 1st time how it was running in fear from me, and it got me thinking…Your pics really brought these lovely critters to life (even the dead ones were so solemn & dignified). There IS beauty everywhere. Thank you for doing what you do!

   Thanks Mel! My bug series had a strange affect on me too… when I started shooting these extreme close ups of mangled bugs, I would have horrible nightmares. This went on for a while but I persisted and eventually I, like you, started feeling great empathy toward these little creatures.

   I had the opportunity of meeting you breifly in Chicago at the 57th street Art Fair. You are my favorite artist. I was so taken aback by your photography. I think what excited me so much about the images of dilapidated areas you captured is how I grew up in not so picture perfect places like those in your pictures and have found a different way of viewing them…as an artform. Your work is striking.

   It was nice meeting you here in Chicago last weekend. I’m Mark from Milwaukee’s friend. I do a lot of shooting in abandoned places as well, I’d love to share some of my work with you sometime.

   Again, it was a pleasure meeting you and I hope our paths cross again soon.

   Hi Tom, I’d be happy to see your work…
