A few weeks ago I posted some messages here and there around the web concerning questions I had about a particular usage of some of my photographs – a type of usage with which I have no experience. Gary Crabbe was one of the first to get back to me, responding via PM to a post I left at the Luminous-Landscape forum.

Due to a variety of circumstances (including my travel and some things in Gary’s life that you can read about at his blog) we did not get to talk until today, when I finally had the time to call him up. Although I already has some idea of who Gary is (from hearing a Jim M Goldstein podcast interview with him, from following Gary’s blog, and from seeing quite a bit of his work) it was great to get to talk to him. I want to thank Gary for his time and advice – not every photographer responds that way to a call like mine, and my positive impressions were only reinforced by his generosity and help – and to bring your attention to his photography.
