If you ever hear that a M.I.L.K exhibition is going to be on display, run don't walk to go see it. What an amazing project M.I.L.K. is and what an amazing collection of photograhps that are absolutely stunning and emotion stirring. We just happened upon a M.I.L.K. open air exhibit on a vacation trip to Seattle a few years ago. We were on our way to "sight seeing" destination, but had a few minutes to kill...and those minutes turned into over an hour being in awe of the exhibit and having to pick up a book from the exhibit. I only wish I had bought more of these books to give to people I am blessed to call my friends and are photography lovers and "moments/emotion" historians too.
