    Photojournalisms

    Rare Books

    "As a photojournalist who travels extensively around the world, home for me has always been a shifting term, with shifting people and shifting objects vying for my attention. Upon meeting Julie Winokur in 1992, that dynamic was forever altered. When we married in 1994, a pattern of recording journals addressed to Julie was already firmly established. In keeping with the changing times, what began as paper journals was replaced with daily emails by 2000. Encompassing nearly 20 years, this book is a selection of these journal entries from various locations around the world written for my wife. They reflect my deep-seated desire, more like need, to connect to Julie and let her know with some urgency what I had just seen, felt, heard and sometimes recorded in images ... The very act of creating this book touches upon my desire to reach out to others and to report on issues throughout the world ... The depth of my feelings, touched so deeply and so often by the realities I witness, are the testimony I want this collection to reveal"--From introduction by author.

    Charles Darwin letter to C.W. Stoddard

    Manuscripts

    A full transcription of the letter follows: "Dear Sir, I am obliged for your extremely courteous letter. It is of course a great satisfaction to me to hear that my work has in any way interested an interested and observing person. I am little surprised at what you say about certain plants not fruiting or flowering in the Sandwich Islands; though this is very common in hotter countries. There is nothing I shd enjoy so much as to visit California, but I am growing old & my health is weak. With my best thanks, I beg leave to remain Dear Sir Yours faithfully, Ch. Darwin. P.S. I am obliged for your enclosures." The letter, written from Beckenham, Kent, is dated May 5; no year is given. The letter is in reply to one sent by Charles Warren Stoddard on 11 April 1870 (see the Darwin Correspondence Project).

    it very hard to realize that I shall never see or hear that dear face & voice again. Time as yet has helped me very little, but I get through the days one by one. I am not well, have had a cold that won't go away - as I can not go out, I am sending you a check also one for Harriet with which get something to please your selves. Write to me some times & tell me what you are doing.
