  • Dear Jacques, Once again you have shown us a beautiful and exotic part of the world as only you can do it. Your portraits are a reflection of the respect you have for the people of this world and your photos of architecture are inspiring. Thank you again for a glimpse of a far-away place I will know only through the generosity of photographers such as yourself sharing their vision and their talent. All the best to you and Pierre. Hugs from Missouri, Beth

  • Bonsoir mon cher Jacques, comme je vous le promettais il y a cinq jours, je suis venu faire un nouveau voyage tres interessant, grace a vous, dans cette peninsule arabique a la fois etonnante, mysterieuse, farouche, mystique, dangereuse, conservatice et ultra-moderne a la fois et donc, paradoxale...En tout cas, elle m'interesse enormement car elle est chargee de siecles de culture, de tradition et de religion...Bref, tout ce qui donne de l'epaisseur a l'oeuvre humaine. Chers Jacques et Pierre, a bientot de vous retrouver, notamment dans votre album sur l'art sacre byzantin qui a l'air, lui aussi, absolument splendide. Bonne soiree et toutes mes amities. Martial

  • Dear Jacques! This is a lovely album of Oman. The Islamic architecture, scenes and the market place reminded me quite a bit of my trip to Uzbekistan. The difference being the women there do not were burkhas. Oman does look like a scene out of 1001 nights! You have captured the ambience and the daily life scenes very well. Thank you for these lovely shots. Best wishes to Pierre and you! Suresh
