Fernandez Film workshop at the NY Public theater.

Mr. Higgins introduced me to many of his clients, friends,ie. Romare Bearden, Nikki Giovanni, Ellis Haizslip, he was a great mentor and powerful artist!

Next time I am in NY will stop to see exhibit.

The photographer is Chester Higgins, but I had no information about him until I read this article. Will he be at the opening reception? Like to meet him. He sounds like an interesting person. Thanks Tseday.

He is an incredibly gifted story teller and photography is his chosen media. But for me personally, what makes his Ethiopia images genuine, organic and spectacular is because Ato Chester Higgins deeply loves, respects and understands Ethiopia. He gets it!
