I got this email from Pat Tillery who is pushing to have Kilroy put on a stamp: “Stephen, I received your excellent book yesterday. Thank you. After only a glance, it thoroughly exploded an old theory of mine about photography. Back when I worked as a civilian in Bangkok, I had a Pentax 35mm camera and about 50lbs of zoom, wide angle, macro, etc lenses. I always felt that when I went to the Grand Canyon, I would take a roll of film and have a dollar plus invested in each (plus the equipment) and cherish each no matter how bad. Whereas a professional would go there and take a thousand pictures and throw away all but a few good ones. Therefore . . . Not true. Now with incredible digital cameras, I went to the WWII Memorial and took a thousand pictures and threw away all but a few—-yawn. All they did was prove I have been there. Frankly, I went to the WWII Memorial a few years ago determined to be impressed and moved. I wasn’t until I saw you photos! Thanks for the uplifting experience!…”
