My poem for Do You Like It
21 June 2008

Your eye is more powerful
than a camera lens
your pictures capture
lifes essence
poetic photographic
make sense
in a world of hatred
where minds are dense
you show reality
as surrealistic suspense
faces within faces
sad and tense
giving a pound of wisdom
for every pence
pictures that mend
a broken fence
your contributiion
to american photography
solidly immense
no nonsense
as a photographer
as a poet
I say this to you
in your defense
your pictures
are soulful scriptures
without pretense"

You said this about GLOSACK:
""This mortal man born in Brooklyn is a kinetic force that touches the core of the underbelly of humanity, a humanity that one does not believe exists, the disfranchised, the marginalized, the deformed , the leper and all such varieties ..he shoots pain and he makes you endure that pain..
He could have been born in India but does it really matter ..humanity is a world without borders and he shows it through the rich tapestry of his images.
Mind you his images are not to shock and awe..to sensationalize dire human needs , he wants you too see his images through compassion , through tolerance and through your inner being.

This is Dr Glenn Losack MD renowned psychiatrist, lyricist, poet, musician, and a very opinionated man..he does he wants to do..but yet like all of us he has a Muse ..a Muse that has given him a reason to Live..or Relive .
Actually the good doctor needs no testimonials ..his pictures adorn covers of National Geographic and he has his site on Better Photo..

It took a lot of convincing on my part to move his collection to Flickr which has a larger and diverse viewership , the best of the best.

That he allowed me to showcase his pictures at my site speaks volumes of his love for me..and that he loves my family like his own, and he loves Marziya too.

I hope all my friends and well wishers on Flickr will see Glenns pictures and evaluate them with encouragement and truthful comments.

Welcome Home Doc.""
