Media Reviews
"The good news is that there are very few of these portraits that I would not like to own. Many are beautiful. Whatever Higgins says about his subjects, one may wish to discard. Never mind. Read their faces, not their words (each of the subjects is given a sentence to express his or her 'philosophy': 'I put a great deal of emphasis on positive affirmation. It is my mental fertilizer'). Read their grief, their faith, their fantastic combination of resignation and hanging on and moving on. Read their tenacity. Watch them daring you to be as strong as they have been through all the days of their lives."
