I was speaking with a good friend and mentor today. He was commenting on how great things were looking and coming together for the project. Which I thanked him and commented that I could not have done it without his help.
A few weeks ago he helped me through a mental road block with the book and there are many things that he taught me over the last 20 years that were in every part of this book and photography. His help a few weeks ago and the seeds that he planted years ago helped make this project look the way that it does.
Interestingly, this idea is one that actually got me to Tanzania. When my daughter and I were talking about the donation that she had given to the Tanzania Hope Fund, her feeling was, “if we can change one child’s life, to become like Dr. Sam think of the impact we can make”. Dr. Sam is the head Doctor at Nkoaranga Hospital and by sending a child to school, we can in the future create another Doctor, Teacher, Guide and many other professions that will make Tanzania more self reliant.
We have a profound ability of impacting the future.
Eoin, It has been my good pleasure to be your friend for these decades. I feel that you don’t realize how much you have taught me, in return. I think at least as much as I have taught you.
When I met you, a youngster, you had wisdom, maturity and sense of purpose beyond your years. You have since been developing into a remarkable being. I consider it one of my best decisions to collaborate with you.
Keep doing it.
Bob,
Thank you.
I feel very lucky that I walked into your gallery. It has changed how I do my work.
Best
Eoin
