Richard Koci Hernandez's new site Multimedia Shooter prompts a near-daily visit from me. When he posted a retrospective of his work at the San Jose Mercury News, and it included a piece about Vrindavan: The City Of Widows, I had to post it here.

Feel free to post your comments here after you have seen it.

Update: Photographer Tewfic El-Sawy wrote asking me to mention his multimedia project also on the widows of Vrindavan. Take a loot. Elegantly produced. Also take a look at his project on The Supplicants of Bahadur Shaheed, a Sufi shrine.

There is an emptiness in my soul without
my friend Bruce in the world.
He was a dear friend who will be deeply missed by many.
– Stephen Johnson

It's a virtual, though real, homage to a giant in the field of digital photography. It's photographer Stephen Johnson‘s way of grieving. Visit the site. Pay your respects.
