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,

How come you guys expect her to be perfect, when at the same time WE can't, right? Everyone makes mistakes, even celebrities, so leave her alone, the ones that truly think this is bad. When my Daddy was younger, his brother set there house on fire by mistake, and that's where Miley's song comes in. She sings the song, “nobody’s perfect”, right?

Yuri Sc hwebler was a phenomenal Artist. I remember trips to Wash. DC. and seeing the Corcoran Gallery of Art. I would love to hear more of your side, because I was young but the man was a great ARTIST. Thank you Jennifer Connell P.S. Any memories you would like to share would be greatly appreciated. My mom passed after him so I would love to have some more insight on his life. I must thank you for this wonderful vision into my uncle’s life. Yuri Sc hwebler was a phenomenal Artist.

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,
