John,

I wish you a speedy and full recovery. We have mutual friends, though we've never met, but I was weaned as a young photographer marveling at so many brilliant John Dominis photos in LIFE Magazine so I feel like I know you a bit. Thank you for sharing your view of the world with so many of us.

Get well soon.

John,

Thank you so much for your support in the very earliest days of my career. I will never forget it. I also still have one of the Nikon FTN cameras I bought from you in 1972 or '73, I think. It has a hand-made motor drive made by Marty Forscher. I have a piece of history!

Here's wishing you the best for a speedy recovery. With affection,

Jodi
