We received your extraordinary posters of Beta Saint Giyorgis. We are always in awe of its ambiance as we breeze by the one hanging by our front door. Your work is so interesting and engaging - we want to see even more. Thanks for making this series (and others) available to the world! Jacqui and Ivan Van Sertima

In this world where there is pain and death, love and hate, bondage and freedom, hope and despair, you have traveled to Ethiopia and captured beauty and frozen it in time. A co-worker said, "What a gift to be able to capture the spirit, preserve it and share it with others." Such a gift you have and what a blessing to be able to share this hidden wonder of Lalibela with those who may never see such wonders with the natural eye. I was speechless when I opened your poster of Lalibela. I felt like I was there, standing and seeing the work take place. Feeling the physical pain as the work was being done and the dream being formed into reality. I felt the joy of accomplishment in a country challenged by natural uncertainty you captured the spirit of hope and a peace came over me. Thank you for sharing a part of your travels, a part of your life with me. We shall continue to share about your work and website. We pray that you will be blessed each day knowing that His spirit lives in you and you have family that prays for you and loves you so very much.

What an extraordinary photo of Beta Giyorgis. It hangs in the window and light shines through the walls and the stars.
It would in any case be a hauntingly beautiful picture of a rock church, rose-reddened half as old as time. But what transforms it beyond beautiful is the night sky above it with the stars piercing it. It's as if you'd given us not only this ancient church but far more ancient universe that gave it birth.
Your photographs are spells. The Vinalhaven bicycle hangs on our refrigerator and chats at us from it. Now your church chants and intones. Before long our white house will be abducted into the speech of art.

These rock-hewn churches are amazing, and something
we know very little about. Thank you for sharing their
history with us. Now I'm fascinated by them. Your
project to document the ancient religions along the
Nile is an important mission. Until we went to Egypt,
we had heard nothing about Nubia which seems incredible.
With your beautiful pictures, you can make us all more
aware of Africa's rich cultural heritage.

My elementary grade students and I want to thank you for visiting our class last week to discuss your photographs of the African Burial Ground and answer their questions. They were fascinated by your photographs and delighted that they got to keep their own brochures you made for them. Your attentive and clear answers to their questions (even when they repeated themselves) helped them understand why the Burial Ground was such an important project for you, and why everyone should be interested in it. I think it was really valuable to them to hear your comments about working with human remains, and the connections to African spiritual traditions were illuminating. As a teacher, I really appreciated that you were able to take each question so seriously and respond in a way that built up the students' understanding. Once again, thank you so much for your help!

Congratulations on your EXCELLENT WEB SITE. IT IS AWESOME!!!
I have enjoyed at least 6 -7 straight hours on your site. I viewed many photos, clicked activated and visited every site that I can possibly view and browsed as much as possible. I just love this site. You are a person of heart! You are multi-blessed and talented man with a God-given destiny and purpose. You are a real, sensitive dedicated man of passion. Your work shows how dedicated, committed, and determined you have been in your lifes quest in capturing the spirit of African American people and others world wide through photography. The photos are great and brought out a lot of mixed emotions in me. I was very moved by the photos of the elderly and children. I love to view old photos as I am an amateur genealogist of my Cape Verdean Family & History. We have lots of family photos from the early 1900s which belonged to my great grandmother.
I am hoping you can understand the joy I experienced and pride I felt as I viewed your website.
As a writer you are powerful in expressing yourself as to what you want to accomplish in your gift of photography and expression.
Thank you for your dedication and sharing your lifes work. I celebrate with you in your journey of photography in capturing each moment as it happens. You are person of heart and spirit and grace. I look forward to frequently visiting your site. Sincerely yours, Isabella

Hi Chester,
This is my first opportunity to contact you since meeting you in the boarding queue for Ethiopia the day before your birthday. Thanks for giving me your card. My friend and I surmised that you were somebody famous after looking at the postcard you gave me. After looking at your site, I've determined that we were right. I've seen your work all over the place, most recently in the Metropolitan Home issue. I hope Ethiopia celebrated your birthday wonderfully.
Be well,

First, I must tell you I really enjoyed your pics & article in the Essence December 2007 "How we worship" it was an awesome article. I just want to add that there is a religious group that people always tend to skip, Seventh-Day Adventists. I would love if you were to do another piece on "How we worship" and include us. Also, at my job we have a prayer group of 8 awesome ladies of different denomination and religion. We have set that aside and decided that we are all looking for one thing and that is to be better Christians. Every Tuesday at 11pm we get together and we pray for us, job, & the world. We have become a family and I love them so much.

As a professional artist/photographer I am very struck by your portrait of Leslie Moonves on the front page of the NYT Business Day, dated Oct.19. 2007. It recalls the paintings of Thomas Eakins in the way he isolated the plane of the face with light. I could go on and describe many lighting succeses in this photograph but I would like you, if you have the time, to send me a detailed lighting diagrame of this shot. I would use it in my work: painting peoples heads from my own photographs. Sincerely, Victor Henderson

Mr. Higgins, I met you yesterday at a Bembe for my Godbrother and I was honored by your request to take my picture! I thank you for the opportunity to share in some measure my feelings about the importance of cultural awareness for African American folk. This is a very important time for us, culturally and politically as we seek to claim what is rightfully yours; the rich heritage and cultural traditions of African people. Your work is relevant, timely and very much appreciated. Congratulations and best of luck to you in all your ventures. God Bless.

Mr. Higgins. I am Mark Fuller, son of Kenneth Fuller and nephew of Dr. Theron Fuller from New Brockton. I am now living in Montgomery and serving as a U.S. District Court Judge. I saw your photo exhibit at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Art and it made me think of my "roots" and was inspired by your photos from "my part" of Alabama. Keep up the good work

Mr. Higgins,
I just returned from a visit to "our" corner of the South - Coffee County, Alabama and naturally folks (especially my father RP Flowers) were excited about your exhibit in Montgomery and the article in the local newspaper (Dothan Eagle). I'm hoping to visit the exhibit in the upcoming weeks and again thank you for the inspiration and beautiful stories you tell through your work. Continued blessings to you and yours.

I have started research online, looking for Duane Michels, to find out what his work looks like these days. Thirty some odd years ago I came across his photography. I found your site which has a cross reference to Duane Michels and I am astonished. The web site is huge and comprehensive, it seems, and I have not thoroughly looked into all that this wonderful and grand scale archive has to offer art and beauty lovers, but I am truly astonished. I have seen New York Times profiles and portraits in the series that ran for quite some time, not too long ago, but look forward to a complete tour of this magnificent, awe inspired web site, after which time, I hope I will be able to return and write a more comprehensive statement, regarding my impressions and appreciation. I will forward a link to friends of mine who will appreciate your exquisite career as it unfolds in image and reflection, at this magical location.
Respectfully,

I was at Duke Hospital waiting as my mom went through surgery for thyroid cancer and my friend Dave came in with a book called "Elder Grace". On the first page, in your own hand-writing were those words---"aging gracefully can become a work of art". He had just come from a lecture you gave in Richmond, Va and he bought the book for me.
This was over a month ago and I am just now getting around to telling you how wonderful your images are and how beautifully meditative they are. Mostly b/c, every time I look through your book, it floods my mind's eye. There is a quiet strength in these images. Dignity in the eyes, beauty in the details. I always stop on Ms. Beatrice Stroud and listen.
The entire book is amazing. It's exactly the inspiration I've been looking for since I started my own artistic journey. I would love it if you had time to look over my website. it's rough and still evolving.
www.akmeva.com <http://www.akmeva.com> (especially the "innocence" link)
I'm working with the dementia community, photographing, documenting, recording and simply living in the moment. It is everything that you spoke of in your epilogue. The grace and personalities of people weathered with experiences. It gives you a sense of your own mortality. and at the age of 27, that has been the most important lesson of my life---to know that you have but one chance, so make the most of each day. Your great uncle said it better than any.
I could really go on and on about what your work has meant to me, especially in light of what I've been doing. I would love any feedback you might have, lessons you have learned. If someone was to make your portrait, what quote would you put by your name? What words would speak to someone listening?
I had the opportunity to have dinner with Duane Michels, and I asked him, at 73, what his greatest lesson was. He answered, "be alive." Your work is alive. It's not about being a photographer, or an artist. It's about being a human. It's about living. Bresson said that. You're doing that. I'm trying.
Thank you so much for your time. I hope that we may meet one day. I'm not sure if you ever come to the eastern North Carolina area, I would love to attend one of your lectures and speak with you in person.
All my best.

I was so glad to see an exhibit of your work is coming to the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts! I met Mr. Polk in February of 1981 when I was editor of our local high school paper in Tallassee. He is in the back of my mind all the time. My work will in no way ever match his, but that is what I strive for, even when I'm photographing ball teams and dance students to make a iving. That one meeting with Mr. Polk influenced me in a way I cannot even describe. You have your own eye and your own heart, but I can imagine how he influenced you also. If you ever come back to Macon county, please take a side trip to Tallassee, Alabama!

It was nice to run into you the other day. The most important
thing for me is to connect with such a awesome, and gifted photographer such as yourself. Your work is so inspirational and I love the sense of light and the uplifting element of you and your images. Its something that powers my own work and mission. I need to see your work and your own path. I do no think everyone was put on the planet to do the work you do, and your heartfelt work and your power helps everyone to dream higher, to reach the place of heaven here on this earth. Its a blessings indeed.
I told you about the work I have been doing in Liberia, with former child solders. Its beauitful work in that old traditional ceremonies are at the center and heart of the healing and forgiveness. They are being slowly empowered from places of victimhood to ambassadors of peace and guardianshsip for our planet. My website is www.alambertson.com. Thank you for your
deep grace. Light, blessings, Andre

...And we talked briefly in Richmond, Brother Higgins, within the context of your exhibit here, about how little American born Africans know about ourselves, about how we needed to reconnect with our cultural reality, with our power -- to remember, and about how your photography and subjects were a strong step towards that essential goal.
I have had a joyous visit to your site. Your photographic eye and being does, in fact, seem as if fresh water, as you wrote -- a subtle flow that facilitates the thing, purifies the thing without becoming it.
Thank you for both visits -- the real and the virtual. I hope for another chance to exchange.

Chester Higgins moves students to develop their craft and to think about their relationship to the world. His warmth and wisdom, his stories, his joy for life, his reverence for tradition and his magnificent work are, my students consistently tell me, inspirational.
We're still glowing from his visit. Students tell me how they felt his images haunt their imaginations and transformed the way they think about history. They were awed, moved and fascinated.
The faculty in attendance thanked me repeatedly for bringing him. One who teaches African Civilization told me that his images reached her students in ways that she hasn't been able to do all semester. Seeing the story his work tells and the strength of the images themselves made it all real and comprehensible. And she said she saw a number of her students nodding their heads through his presentation.
She was very excited. So were the students. And I notice that one of them has taken an image of his as her Facebook profile photo on line. It's her way of celebrating her connection to his work. And she is spending a lot of time with her classmates, looking at his website! They're taking extended lessons from him by visiting www. chesterhiggins.com.
What a unique, generous, informative and inventive visit and presentation!

I'm not sure if this email will reach you personally but if it does I would like to say thank you very much for your website on your work. I was researching anything photography related on the internet (as I do quite frequently) and I was brought to view yours. I won't say that I just happened to come across your website accidentally because I truly believe I was supposed to be there today, now.
I am an African-American female living in Columbus, OH. I have always had a strong interest in photography but I've never pursued it seriously until very recently. In August of this year I left a very stable, good paying job with great benefits to become a photographer. I don't have any formal training or experience in this field. Because I left the "good job" and started a "new career" without much more than a camera, passion, and a strong desire, most of my family and friends think I've lost my mind. Since I made my decision and picked up my camera I can honestly say that I've never felt so alive and full of purpose. I have never done anything that I can just totally immerse myself in for hours and hours and still feel energized and excited when I stopped. At least until last night... Last night I started questioning myself. I took some family portraits for my sister and her family earlier in the day and started reviewing/editing them for print. I was so disappointed in what I saw on the screen, I couldn't believe it. What I saw on the screen was nothing like I'd envisioned while taking the photographs. I create digitally so I even got to view the photos as I was taking them. I don't know what happened.
Today, I wanted to see other photographers work so that I could see/learn more about photography. I have been looking online for hours but when I got to your website I know I was right where I was supposed to be. I was so awed by what I saw it brought me to tears. I felt so inspired I had to stop looking and send a thank you. Thank you for sharing your vision and for giving my vision a name/form. That is probably not a good choice of words but that is the best way I can describe how I feel. I am a spirit catcher in process!
Thank you again for your inspiration. I don't normally write to someone I haven't met about something so personal so forgive my ramblings.
I look forward to seeing all that you've made available.

Today I visited the section entitled "Reflections." I just love it! I share so many of your sentiments about photography, particularly the aspect about the photograph expressing a truth about the photographer. This is something I know to be true through my journey as a photographer, and I have been trying to verbally express this sentiment, and you articulated this so well. I've realized that I only need to look within my experiences and personal make-up, and express those stories. Being a photographer is really a wonderful journey into life. Its so wonderful that through your site you are able to take so many people along with you.
Thanks again.

My name is Intisar Abioto. I am junior at Wesleyan in CT. I love your book "Feeling the Spirit." It is perhaps my favorite book of photography. I cannot tell you the number of times I've looked through its pages since I first found it in my father's house in Memphis. Somehow, someway without explanation I've always known I would find myself in such places, that I would make my way. And now I am in Senegal for the first. I am here for the first time on study abroad and am experiencing a host of new things, much of which I don't understand yet, but know will be important. Saturday I looked at the Atlantic Ocean from the other side. I didn't know how to tell my homestay brother what I was feeling as perhaps for him it was another day at the beach. Everyday I am learning and feeling new things, some easy and others not, but since forever I have dreamed of this thing. To mingle photography, dance, travel, and writing in my life would be supreme. Thanks for traveling and bringing the people and places you've encountered to the eyes of all the waiting dreaming others. I'll like to keep sharing with you other aspects of my journey. Best,

I received your book, ECHO, two days ago and even with the three children and a husband, I sneak every free moment to read and take notes. I absolutely love it and recommend it to everyone as a history lesson.
For me photography has been like learning more about myself. When I learned you could turn the flash off (simple huh), that opened a whole new door for me. My photos have taken a new life.
I am a midwife and would love to travel (US and abroad) to meet elder midwives of African descent and capture them in practice and reflection.
Please consider teaching a web based course in photography. It would be a wonderful opportunity for you to reach and influence many more who truly love the art and could benefit from your wisdom. I know any info would be priceless.
I visualize reading assignments from your books, along with photo assignments. We could upload the pictures to you for critique and suggestions. You could cap each class to keep it manageable (just let me be the first to know). You could do it when it is convenient for you, keeping your home life in order. Plus, earn a nice income from it. If you ever need any feedback from a potential future web student, just let me know. I would be glad to help this come to fruition.

Now I see why Tavis Smiley chose you. Thank you for your work.

After submitting a photograph to the MoAD Museum and realizing that it became a part of a greater piece of art by Chester Higgins Jr., I am proud to be the descendant of a great people and to share in this wonderful experience with this great African American Photographer. The MoAD and Chester Higgins Jr relationship has encouraged me to move closer to the satisfaction, that following one's passion is key to bringing eternal and internal peace.

"This (Echo of the Spirit) is a book about Chester's life growing up in the segregated South. The book contains beautiful black and white photographs that Chester took of his relatives, friends and places he grew up in. He grew up in a very different time when people officially discriminated against African-Americans because of the color of their skin.
When Chester was young he picked cotton in the Summer. He went to a school only for Black children. There were some shops that Black people were not allowed to look or go into. It was a sad and difficult time to grow up African American in the USA.
Chester got a lot of support from his older relatives who took care of him and encouraged him. In particular, Chester's great-uncle Fourth taught him many things. Uncle Fourth took Chester night fishing. He taught him how to cross the river by walking on a big log and how to make sugarcane syrup. Great-uncle March Fourth McGowan played a very key role in Chester's life. When he died at age 108, Chester decided he wanted to marry at the gravesite so that his spirit be there. Chester decided to celebrate his uncle death rather than simply mourn.
I recommend this book because it shows the happy and sad times of Chester's life. His life is very amazing and interesting. Chester's photographs catch different people doing things in their own environment. His portraits capture interesting faces and are full of life.
Chester's photographs have been published in many magazines and he has won awards. Chester now works for The New York Times. I have met him many times. He does not act like a famous photographer. When he went to Ethiopia, he met my great-grandmother and took very nice photographs of her. I really recommend you read this book."

Mr. Higgins,
This is more of a comment than a question. I'm a product of the same piney woods of southeast Alabama as yourself. Many of the names you mentioned (in the first few chapters of "Echo Of The Spirit" are of people I know and in some cases related to. I believe you actually went to school with my mother. She was from Piney Grove, Alabama. I'm related to the Flowers, the Smiths and the Terry's of that area.
Visiting your site has become an inspiration to me and for me to seek publishing for my own works of memory. Mostly short stories based on the lives and legends of the people of that region. My family experience is similar - yet different from yours. My father was in the military (at Fort Rucker), married my mother and off we went to "see" the world. Yet, even to this day, some of my fondest memories are of the sweet smells of pine straw, magnolia and red "clay" dirt. Many of the voices that guide me today resonate from deep in those piney woods of home. Thank you for such a wonderfully inspiring site.
May you continue to be blessed!

It would be pure banality if, as usual, I say that have I enjoyed reading your new book, "Echo of the Spirit." It was much more. The story of the extended family you have in Alabama reminded me of my great aunt MULU whose humanity and passion for story telling provided me with the only link to my maternal ancestors. Yes, when she passed, I also told anybody who would care to listen that a great tree has indeed fallen. As a documentarian, the only thing that I have is a one hour long interview I did with her a year before she passed. That makes one of the few prized possessions I have todate. I can not but agree when you said "we all stand on the shoulders of those who come before us." Your book gives us the link. The simplicity and depth of the narrative which I found out to be equally visual as your pictures was at times heart rending as it is a story of plight. In your success, though, we are constantly reminded that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for keeping the spirit high and let me know, and I hope it would be soon enough, when you will come up with your next book. For now, as you put it in your last chapter, I will go have "conjo buna"

Perusing your site, I have decided to take my time. The images, finding out where you have been and where you are going to be speaking or presenting, reading the narrative on Gordon Parks and Romare Bearden was enough for today.

Really enjoyed your website. Just beautiful! I especially liked the "Mentors" section. Saw you at the Newark Museum several years ago and purchased one of your beuatiful books. Much continued success.
