I am writing a short piece for an academic journal about Evelyn Hofer and her trip to Dublin in 1966.<br /><br />Your blog for The Blue Lantern mentioned that Hofer wrote to V.S. Pritchett in January 1966, stating that she had "completed most of the photographs."<br /><br />Jane, do you have a source for this letter? I only ask as I am trying to date when Hofer undertook her epic work.<br /><br />Thank you and best wishes<br /><br /><br />PaulAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16576670841485328666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086588560855961894.post-19539318846594795432014-03-20T11:27:42.536-07:002014-03-20T11:27:42.536-07:00When you get the book, you will see a much better ...When you get the book, you will see a much better reproduction of the picture of the children in the Coombe. I couldn't get a better image from the library's scanner, but I really like the photograph. Patience apparently isn't highly valued among digital photographers who seem to operate on 'hit-and-run.' That's why I was cheered - but not surprised - by Renee Akana's photography (link at the right). When I emailed her, she wrote about waiting for the moment, as long as it takes.Janehttp://www.thebluelantern.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086588560855961894.post-57775226255346627442014-03-20T05:04:55.497-07:002014-03-20T05:04:55.497-07:00For years I had EH's photograph of the gravedi...For years I had EH's photograph of the gravediggers on my wall, a wry <i>memento mori</i> and brilliant triple portrait. I had no idea it was from a book about Dublin, and one with magnificent Kodachromes to boot! I went straight to ABEbooks and found an old hardcover copy for myself. Can't praise and thank you enough for this post, from the Eavan Boland poem at the beginning to your appreciation of the still-underrated Evelyn Hofer's documentary sensibility. Wonderful work (as always) and much appreciated. Timothy Cahillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603395656560067724noreply@blogger.com
