I was invited to present my project “Consequences” at the Asian Art Society of Monterey Bay. The room was packed.

At the end of the presentation, I received some of the most touching comments, which put tears in my eyes: “Your images are about humanity. And we truly need this in today’s environment”. “Your connection with the kids and minority cultures are priceless!”

Other comments I received from the presentation:

“Tonight was one of the best programs!!  Thank you for arranging it for us.  I was blown away with his technique.  Oliver is a phenominal artist……………..I want to see his book and more of his pictures” – Betty C.

“Thank you so much for your beautiful presentation last night. Everyone loved it, and wants you to return with photos of India, when they are ready.  We can hardly wait! The beauty, composition and detail in the images were truly amazing! And your dedication to your craft…backpacking for 3 days to reach a remote village, waiting for 7 or 9 hours (from your presentation at our Rotary Club) to get the photo of the two goats fighting, and so many other examples, prove you are the top in the photography world.” – Jean H.

     
” Oliver: Just wanted to say how inspired I was by your presentation last night at Hacienda Carmel.  I was delighted to find an email in my mailbox today as a follow up. Hope our path will cross again.” Phyllis M.
The “Consequences” portfolio earned me to be selected as the Top 50 fine artist at Critical Mass-PhotoLucida in 2016, around the world press coverages (see old posts on this blog), and many exhibits.
