My son recently took a field trip to the Amon Carter Museum, and came home thrilled; telling me about how Grandma’s house was on display at the Museum. I was delightfully surprised at what I saw when I walked in and saw the very house that I grew up in in Hillsboro, Texas. My sister and I spoke with the Museum tour guide and explained that that was my Grandparent’s home. It was very touching and emotional. This is a beautiful print. We bought purchased post cards to send to our aunts and uncles to show them the beauty of this photo. We always knew the house stood out!

From tours led by professional Gallery Teachers to online teaching guides to live, interactive videoconferences, there’s something to benefit teachers and students of all grade levels and disciplines.

Thanks so much for another G R E A T lecture. Your Nov. 10 talk by William Cronon shed light on the meaning behind the myths of red state, blue state politics and opened my eyes to a postmodern definition of the word nature.

I really liked his series on Mt. Saint Helens. It is wonderful how he works with the mind and eye of both a scientist and an artist. Excellent work.

Gohlke really seems to show the reality of small town and city life. He shows the reality of the people, and somehow shows their joys and sorrows. He goes deeper than others. Truly amazing… I recommend his books highly.

Gohlke’s work is just amazing. generally I don’t like landscape photography, but I do like it, and I like Ansell Adams. maybe I like Gohlke’s work just a bit more.
