This morning we got a rare treat. There's an exhibit of photographs of famous writers at Phillips Exeter Academy. This morning, the photographer, Nancy Crampton, spoke about her photographs.
We both loved the talk, loved the exhibit, loved the photos. The exhibit includes photos of writers and a few paragraphs where each writer tells a story or shares thoughts on life and writing.
I think you'd like the exhibit too if you like photography, writing or art. Check it out while it's here (until May 9)!! (Exhibit details can be found here.)
Phillips Exeter is a private boarding school in Exeter, NH for grades 9-12. Many PEA students go on to attend top tier universities.

Sounds like a fascinating show. Even more fascinating (and revealing) if the writers were photographed in their own environments, and from the photos on the website, it looks like they were. There's a wonderful book of photos called "The Writer's Desk" by Jill Krementz. If it's in your library, take a look at it.
Many of the writers in the show were photographed at their homes or in their studies, but some writers were in transit when she caught up with them - so her stories of how she got some of the photos were interesting!
Thanks for the book recommendation. It looks like an interesting book...and I'm in luck because my library has a copy!! I'll check it out next time I'm in town!

Dang! Another interesting exhibit that will be gone before I arrive.
Thanks for the great photos of Boston. They brought back wonderful memories. As a kid, I used to live in a suburb of Boston...so way different than Southern California! I think I took that same trail you did through the city.
