I have been studying John's work, particularly his photograph "Black Power Salute", for my photography class, and I'm so glad that I am. His work seems so inspiring to me, that he could use art as a way to express the issues of the movement, as well as the events taking place today. I hope that I can do something like him one day, and use my poems the way he used his talent of photography. I'm so sorry for your loss Evelyn, he seemed like a beloved and amazing man, photographer, and human being!
Your poetic words that describe the beautiful feelings you have about John’s photograph, “The Black Power Salute”, it’s relevance today, how he inspires you, your wish to inspire with poetry one day the way John’s art inspires through photographs is very touching.
Be aware, that speaking from your heart, your wish to inspire through poetry has already come true because you have touched me and I believe anyone who reads your words will feel their honesty, strength and beauty and be moved.
John was everything you imagine. He loved life and found goodness in people. He was a wonderful human being and I miss him.
Thank you Alishba.
Fondly,
Evelyn
