"There are images here from your book, Priscilla, that you call 'written photographs', which are for me, breathtaking."

"These are transcendent images. Once read, they sear themselves into my own memory - I feel that I have been there for the swim, the prayer, the singing."

"The reason these particular images stand out, I realize, is that they are like your black and white photographs: simple, straightforward, yet elegant in that they carry with them so much about the intersection of the Old Believers' lives and your own. These are images whose colors will not fade."

"Thanks for all you sent me - very moving and a whole new education for me."

"I much favor a mix of words and pictures - people need to be told what you know, as well as see what you saw!"
