Why Allen Loves Photography

A year or two ago, I got really lucky when Allen Murabayashi agreed to come speak to my kids here in Athens. He’s wicked smart, has more energy than a nuclear reactor and cares, deeply and passionately, about photography. He’s the kind of guy I really want to hang around with.
