Excellent captures of the emotions of the celebration of one of the darkest days in our country's history. #10920323Mitch Spence December 12, 2013
It's quite amazing what you've caught, from the back, that gives clearly the emotions of the moment. I saw some images on TV from the White House photographer of the candids of those on Air Force One on the way to Mandela's funeral and thought of you and the immediacy of the images you've captured. I also thought about what an extraordinary thing that would be to have an opportunity to shoot such special moments in history. Wow, wouldn't that be something to be part of?? #10920342Barbara Waldoch December 12, 2013
