WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Praise for Joe Sohm’s Presentations and Publications
-
“As I remarked to you then, I really enjoyed your speech — maybe you should spend some more time on the other side of the lens! That said, I thank you for your book of photographs, really wonderful; enough to make a fellow want to hit the road and see this great country of ours.”
Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor, New York City
-
“We want to thank you again for your time and excellent presentation to members and their guests of the Channel City Club. It was a wonderful program for our holiday luncheon. Good luck as you travel across the country with your inspirational message and pictures.”
Judith Hill, Executive Director, Channel City Club, Santa Barbara, California
-
“Your presentation was superb! In fact, the Nabisco representative was just in my office and continued to rave about how fantastic the program was. The applause was spontaneous and the response was unanimously enthusiastic. Visions of America was without doubt the best program we have ever had.”
Jan Thurlback, Executive Director, Freedom Festival, Evansville, Indiana
-
“To Joseph Sohm, with thanks for your photograph for my book (My Life) and photo contributions to the William J. Clinton Presidential Center. You’ve collected beautiful imagery of our country, and I hope it will inspire many people to travel throughout America.”
President William Jefferson Clinton
-
“Joseph Sohm has an unblinking eye and a gift for summing up a whole complex mood in a single shot. There is a great deal of love in his photographs, but dedication too. The hardest landscapes of all to photograph — or to write about — are those that are familiar to us. There are many great travel books about Africa and India — far fewer about the United States.”
Paul Theroux, Best Selling Author
-
"Visions of America is certainly a grand technical achievement, but it's so much more than that as well. It's all here — the beauty, the icons, the contradictions, the wisdom, and the yearning for that more perfect union. When you look at America through Sohm's viewfinder, you will see truths revealed."
John Milewski, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Television host for “Close Up on C-SPAN” and the Newseum’s “Inside Media”
-
"The premiere of your multi-media show was the high point of our firm's participation in “We The People 200” celebration. The audience response was very enthusiastic. It was a marvelous show and a great way to entertain our clients."
Ned Donoghue, Esq., Dechert Price & Rhoads, Philadelphia
-
“Both the technical quality of the presentation and the quality of the creative content make your program an invaluable addition to the national celebration in Philadelphia of the 200th anniversary of the United States Constitution."
Fred M. Stein, Executive Director, WE THE PEOPLE 200, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
-
"The Commission on the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution has recognized your project to be of exceptional merit with national significance and substantial educational and historical value. You have our congratulations and our gratitude for exceptional involvement in the commemoration of the Bicentennial for the Constitution."
Mark W. Cannon, Bicentennial Director of U.S. Constitution, Washington D.C.
