Images Transcend Boundaries

It's often said that a picture is worth a thousand words...and I'll add "in any language"!

You may know that a publishing house in Miami represents my work, they in turn may licence images to other media companies. Two of my images have shown up as posters at www.art.com and www.allposters.com, but I was delighted to see that the international divisions of these companies are also offering my images in France (where my very lucky daughter is hanging her hat this week!), Germany, Spain, Italy, and the U.K.

However, the real surprise was to find my images on the website for the Baghdad Museum in Iraq. Although the images were taken in Canada (near my old neighbourhood in Toronto), it would appear that whoever makes the purchasing decisions at the museum felt that my images would resonate with their visitors http://www.baghdadmuseum.org/posters/qSandy%2BTrunzer.html

It makes me smile to think that someone so far away, experiencing a life so very different from my own might find joy in one of my photographs.
