I went looking for photos by him because, in the film photography class I'm taking, we were told to take photos emulating a photographer, and I chose Don. Seeing these photos and reading about him has brought me to tears. I never even got to meet him before he passed, but I feel like I know so much from these pictures. Thank you. He was greatly loved by everyone in our family. Don Donaghy was my great uncle.

I love his photo of a woman's legs seen through a broken shop window with a bright jagged diagonal running across the glass. Hopefully a book will be out soon, work of this quality should be collected and presented. I just discovered his work today via some 1960s images published in a magazine.

Your cousin was a significant artist and I hope before long the world or at least the art world will realize that. I was lucky enough to meet Don when we were both very young and at the time of course I had no inkling of the significance of his work; we just had fun shooting together one day. I think I saw him once or twice after that in Philadelphia then we both went our separate ways and I didn't see Don again for more than forty years! But I did keep track of him through mutual friends over the years. I appreciate your comments.

I am unfortunate to have never met him, but thank you for this retrospective. Don was my mother’s cousin. I am unfortunate to have never met him, but thank you for this retrospective.

You might contact Hemphill fine Arts at gallery@hemphillfinearts.com - they are currently representing Don's work I believe. Mark As far as I know the monograph is still in the works.

The Nazraeli website has no mention of it. Did it ever come to pass? Aside from "The New York School" is there any of his work published anywhere?
