Maggie taught those workshops in a converted garage studio behind their home in Boulder. Don and Maggie designed that studio, and he, and later their daughter and her husband, maintained it. I was so taken by Don's interest in detail. One night he carefully showed me how the relatively ancient overhead door to the garage studio worked. He showed me every nuance of the weights and springs that made it work, and then demonstrated how they functioned. He kept me entranced the whole time.

Maggie taught those workshops in a converted garage studio behind her and Don's house in Boulder. Don, and later his daughter and her husband, designed and maintained that studio. I was most entranced by Don's love of, and attention to detail. I clearly remember one evening when he patiently explained to me how the relatively ancient overhead door of that garage studio worked. He carefully showed me every detail, and then demonstrated it in action. He kept me entranced the entire time. -Don Atwood I met Don while taking acting workshops from his wife Maggie.

Unfortunately, sometimes we find them too late. This is the case with Don Donaghy, at least for me. I have to say, the last black & white of the rainy streetcorner was one of those photos that just jump out at you, grab you and draw you in. Absolutely beautiful. What a shame to lose such a talent but how great to have been able to appreciate it. Geoff Hey Mark,

I had been reading the Shambhala emails and wondered if it was the same Don Donaghy I knew and hung out with at PCA. While two other mutual friends had kept in touch with Don after he and George Krause joined the army for a couple of years before finishing school, some of us lost touch with Don. although it seems he'd kept in touch with George. They had kept me up to date with their news about his illness, and it crossed my mind that "our" Don and the Boulder Don might be the same. They were. Ironically, it seems Don and I both became buddhists, because of the same teacher, Chogyam Trungpa. I was saddened by the news from both old art school friends and from Shambhala annoucements. I sincerely hope that his photography will attain all the recognition it deserves. Thank you for posting this blog about Don, and I thank friends Gorge Krause and Lionel Libson for passing your blog on to me. Nan Hi Mark,
